Survey Contest

Create your own survey giveaway campaign and incentivise participation by giving users the chance to win a prize for completing your form.

This powerful template allows you to easily build a fully customisable survey contest using Gleam’s Questions action. You can collect responses, qualify leads, and randomly select a winner — all within one streamlined experience.

With Gleam, you can use advanced input fields like open-ended text, checkboxes, ratings, dropdowns, and more. Whether you are gathering product feedback, conducting market research, or qualifying leads, this template offers flexibility and insight.

Use this survey contest as part of your customer feedback loop, list-building campaign, or product validation strategy. Offer a gift card or another desirable prize to increase participation, build trust, and grow your email list.

Tip
