But how could they encourage people to click through and view the sale offer instead of scrolling past in the news feed?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best way to get the attention they needed was to <a href=\"https:\/\/rafflepress.com\/create-an-online-contest\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"441\">run an online giveaway<\/a>. So with the help of RafflePress, they created the giveaway below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"559\" height=\"463\" src=\"https:\/\/rafflepress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/optinmonster-rafflepress-giveaway.png\" alt=\"OptinMonster RafflePress giveaway\" class=\"wp-image-5172\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rafflepress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/optinmonster-rafflepress-giveaway.png 559w, https:\/\/rafflepress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/optinmonster-rafflepress-giveaway-300x248.png 300w, https:\/\/rafflepress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/optinmonster-rafflepress-giveaway-50x41.png 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 559px) 100vw, 559px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>OptinMonster used several tactics to make its giveaway stand out to users on social media.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, they offered a big-ticket prize that they knew their audience would love to generate excitement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then they included tasks people could complete to enter the giveaway, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Share on LinkedIn<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tweet a Message<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Follow on Twitter<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Visit on Facebook<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Visit on YouTube<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The most notable giveaway entry option is the <a href=\"https:\/\/rafflepress.com\/how-to-create-a-viral-refer-a-friend-giveaway\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"2405\">Refer a Friend<\/a> task, an action that works like traditional word-of-mouth marketing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Here\u2019s how it works:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>User A enters via Refer a Friend, which shares a message on social media.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>User B sees the message and clicks to learn more.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>User B enters via Refer a Friend, which shares a message on social media again.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>User C sees the message and clicks to learn more.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>As more people learn about the giveaway, more people enter, refer more people, and so on. It\u2019s an excellent way to spread the word about your giveaway, which is why many RafflePress users offer this as a bonus entry option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using this tactic, OptinMonster created a highly visible online presence, giving them more trust and authority. And as a result, their giveaway drove thousands of people to their landing page, where users could both learn more about their sale AND enter their giveaway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"559\" height=\"319\" src=\"https:\/\/rafflepress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/optinmonster-black-friday-landing-page.png\" alt=\"OptinMonster black friday landing page with giveaway\" class=\"wp-image-5173\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rafflepress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/optinmonster-black-friday-landing-page.png 559w, https:\/\/rafflepress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/optinmonster-black-friday-landing-page-300x171.png 300w, https:\/\/rafflepress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/optinmonster-black-friday-landing-page-50x29.png 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 559px) 100vw, 559px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, their giveaway generated a total of <strong>24,372 entries<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But that\u2019s not all\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How OptinMonster Uses RafflePress to Grow Their Email List<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides using RafflePress to attract users to their sales page, OptinMonster used their giveaway as an opportunity to grow their email list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They added the ability for users to enter their giveaway by joining their email newsletter.
