Grow your email list with a GetResponse giveaway template built for newsletter signup, ecommerce automation, wishlist intent, invoice-based segmentation, instant coupon incentives, and email plus SMS follow-up.
Use this GetResponse giveaway template to grow your mailing list with a campaign built around newsletter signup, ecommerce marketing, and stronger automation follow-up.
Instead of collecting generic subscribers and sending them all the same promotions, this template helps you gather richer ecommerce data before and during the giveaway. With the Pre-Entry tab, you can collect profile fields that can be synced into GetResponse, include Phone for SMS-ready workflows, use City for better targeting, capture wishlist intent, collect invoice numbers to identify what customers have already purchased, and unlock a coupon that can drive immediate buying intent.
This makes the template ideal for brands that want to use a giveaway not only for email capture, but also for better product segmentation, stronger offer personalisation, smarter ecommerce automation, and more relevant email plus SMS journeys after signup.
Use the Pre-Entry tab, City field, Phone field, offer-preference question, wishlist action, invoice number custom action, and coupon incentive together so your giveaway sends richer profiles into GetResponse. This makes it easier to personalise promotions, build stronger ecommerce automations, and follow up with better cross-sell, reorder, wishlist-based, and discount-driven offers.
Attract More Subscribers at the Top of the Funnel: Running a competition with a GetResponse 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 Ecommerce Data from the Start: Instead of collecting only an email address, you can capture useful customer details through Pre-Entry fields, offer-preference questions, wishlist intent, invoice verification mechanics, and location data. This gives you richer first-party data for ecommerce campaigns and automations.
Build Better Offer-Based Segmentation: A question about the type of offer someone prefers helps separate discount-driven shoppers from subscribers who respond better to bundles, gifts, shipping incentives, or early access. That makes future automation and promotion logic more relevant.
Use Wishlist Data to Create Better Offers: A wishlist action gives customers a clearer signal about which products a subscriber wants next. This creates stronger opportunities for reminder emails, product alerts, price-based offers, and cross-sell campaigns based on real interest.
Use Invoice Data to Personalise Follow-Up: A custom invoice number action gives customers a way to identify what someone has already purchased. That creates stronger opportunities to suppress irrelevant promotions, recommend complementary products, and send more accurate reorder or cross-sell emails.
Drive Faster Conversions with Coupon Incentives: An Unlock a Coupon action can give subscribers an immediate reason to shop after entering. This helps connect list growth to faster conversion opportunities while also giving GetResponse stronger behavioural signals for future offer-based automations.
Support Email and SMS Ecommerce Workflows: Collecting phone numbers early gives you the option to support SMS marketing, promotional alerts, and follow-up reminders as part of a wider ecommerce workflow. This makes the customer profile more useful beyond email alone.
Improve Geographic Relevance: Collecting City alongside Country helps make campaigns more relevant for location-based offers, shipping updates, regional promotions, or store-related messaging where applicable.
Strengthen the Full Ecommerce Journey: This template helps turn a giveaway into a complete ecommerce marketing workflow by improving lead quantity, first-party data quality, segmentation, offer personalisation, wishlist intent, invoice-based buyer identification, SMS readiness, and downstream conversion potential.

Set Up the Campaign Basics
Start with this template, then update the campaign title, dates, and prize so the promotion matches your audience and your ecommerce growth objective.
➡ 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, country, city, phone, and company, then add custom fields where needed for favourite category, customer type, or other ecommerce 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 GetResponse integration. This can help you manage entrant data inside the campaign as well.

Connect GetResponse and Map Your Subscriber Fields
In the Subscribe to Newsletter action, connect GetResponse and choose the destination where new subscribers should be added. After that, open the custom field mapping settings and map your competition fields to the matching GetResponse fields. This is important because it lets you pass data such as phone, city, company, customer type, offer preference, wishlist intent, or invoice-related details into GetResponse instead of only sending an email address. By mapping these fields properly, you can improve segmentation, personalise ecommerce automations, and create more useful email and SMS follow-up.
➡ Set up the GetResponse integration
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 an offer-preference multiple choice question, relevant product visit actions, a wishlist action to capture future purchase intent, an Unlock a Coupon action for immediate conversion incentive, selected social follow actions, a custom invoice number action for existing customers, a Pinterest pin action, a viral share action, one secret code action tied to your welcome email, and a second secret code action delivered via SMS. Finish with a Bonus action at the end of the stack to reward entrants who complete all previous actions.

Use the Question, Wishlist, Coupon, and Invoice Responses for Segmentation and Offers
Use the answers from your offer-preference question together with wishlist intent, coupon usage, invoice details, and location data to classify subscribers inside GetResponse. This can help you create cleaner segments, build more relevant ecommerce automations, and send better product offers based on what each person wants, where they are located, what they already bought, and how they respond to incentives.
