When you run a promotional giveaway for your E-commerce store it's a good idea to give out discount codes to entrants who complete a designated number of actions.

This is a fantastic way to incentivise users to complete more actions to earn their discounts, as well as help drive sales by giving out valuable discounts that make purchases more enticing. Giveaway entrants are also most likely to make a purchase from you, since they are already interested in the product you're offering.

You can easily distribute discount codes to entrants by using our Coupon actions to offer a discount code from inside the widget.

A similar type of giveaway campaign you can run is one where you partner up with a relevant brand to giveaway a bundle of both your products and drive actions that mutually benefit both you and your partner.

This is a great way to tap into a new relevant audience and promote your product to potential customers.

The key to choosing a good partner for your campaign is picking a brand that sells products in your niche and shares a similar audience. However, they should not be a direct competitor that could eat into your sales.

Ideally, you want to partner with a brand that sells a product complementary to your own.

If you have a website and want to use it to funnel users to your Amazon store then you should consider using Gleam's powerful Capture app to capture emails, promote your Amazon store and drive traffic back to your Amazon page.
