Grow your email list with a Campaigner giveaway template built for newsletter signup, purchase-behavior segmentation, geotargeting-ready data, and stronger automation follow-up.
Use this Campaigner giveaway template to grow your mailing list with a campaign built around newsletter signup, purchase-behavior segmentation, and stronger automation workflows.
Instead of collecting generic entrants and sending them into one broad follow-up sequence, this template helps you gather richer subscriber data before and during the campaign. With the Pre-Entry tab, you can collect profile fields that can be synced into Campaigner, use Country for geotargeting, and use a purchase-frequency question to classify subscribers in a way that supports better segmentation, more relevant automation, and stronger follow-up.
This makes the template ideal for brands that want to use a giveaway not only for email capture, but also for better-targeted campaigns, cleaner audience segmentation, and more useful A/B testing opportunities after the campaign ends.
Use the Pre-Entry tab, Country field, and purchase-frequency question together so your giveaway sends richer subscriber records into Campaigner. This makes it easier to segment by behavior, personalise follow-up, support geotargeting, and test different offers or messaging across email automation workflows.
Attract More Subscribers at the Top of the Funnel: Running a competition with a Campaigner integration gives people a clear reason to subscribe, helping you increase newsletter signup volume faster than a standard form alone while keeping the entry experience engaging and conversion-focused.
Collect Better Quality Lead Data from the Start: Instead of collecting only an email address, you can capture useful subscriber details through Pre-Entry fields and purchase-behavior questions. This gives you richer first-party data that helps you understand how often a subscriber is likely to buy and what category they care about.
Support Better Purchase Behavior Segmentation: A purchase-frequency question helps separate frequent shoppers, occasional buyers, sale-driven buyers, and first-time prospects. That makes it easier to send more relevant campaigns based on likely buying cadence.
Use Country for Geotargeting: Collecting Country in Pre-Entry makes the list more useful for region-based promotions, geography-specific offers, and geotargeted messaging. That helps customers make Campaigner follow-up more relevant from the start.
Improve Segmentation and Automation Workflows: By mapping competition fields into Campaigner and using structured questions that classify behavior, you can build cleaner segments and more relevant automation paths for different types of buyers.
Create Better A/B Testing Opportunities: Once subscribers are segmented by behavior and geography, Campaigner can test different subject lines, offers, campaign timing, and follow-up messaging more effectively. That gives customers a better framework for split testing after the giveaway.
Increase Engagement Across Your Email Funnel: A better-structured list can support stronger open rates, click-through rates, and overall engagement because subscribers receive more relevant content. Better subscriber organisation also helps reduce friction in your workflow by giving you a more targeted audience for campaigns and follow-up.
Strengthen the Full Email Marketing Funnel: This template helps turn a giveaway into a complete email marketing workflow by improving lead quantity, lead quality, purchase-behavior segmentation, geotargeting readiness, automation logic, engagement, and downstream conversion potential.
Email marketing is using emails to connect with prospects or customers—nurturing relationships, promoting offers, and driving actions.
A mid-cycle email is a message sent between major campaigns to re-engage subscribers and maintain brand visibility.
Email marketing supports inbound growth by nurturing leads, educating prospects, and converting them into customers.

➡ Learn how to set up your competition
Configure the Pre-Entry Fields
Open the Pre-Entry tab and add the subscriber fields you want to collect before entrants unlock the campaign actions. Start with useful built-in fields such as first name, last name, and country, then add custom fields where needed for favourite category, subscriber type, or other segmentation data.
➡ Learn how to use custom fields
Enable the Competition Subscriber List
Turn on Build Competition Subscriber List if you want Gleam to keep an internal subscriber list alongside your Campaigner integration. This can help you manage entrant data inside the campaign as well.

Connect Campaigner and Map Your Subscriber Fields
In the Subscribe to Newsletter action, connect Campaigner and choose the list where new subscribers should be added. After that, open the custom field mapping settings and map your competition fields to the matching Campaigner fields. This is important because it lets you pass data such as first name, country, favourite category, subscriber type, or purchase-frequency answers into Campaigner instead of only sending an email address. By mapping these fields properly, you can improve segmentation, support geotargeting, personalise campaigns, and create more useful automation workflows.

Add the Campaign Actions
Build the action stack around your main email growth objective. Use the mandatory Subscribe to Newsletter action as the highest-value conversion step, then support it with a purchase-frequency multiple choice question, relevant visit actions, a featured video watch step, selected channel actions, an Instagram comment action, a viral share action, and a secret code action tied to your welcome email. Finish with a Bonus action at the end of the stack to reward entrants who complete all previous actions.

Use the Question Responses for Segmentation, Geotargeting, and Testing
Use the answers from your multiple choice question together with Country data to classify subscribers by shopping behavior and region inside Campaigner. This can help you create cleaner segments, build more relevant automation paths, and test different campaign variants for different buyer groups.
