They add no value to your campaign and reduce the chance of genuine users winning your giveaway prize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The same is true for fraudulent entries: people who don\u2019t follow your rules and are only in it for the freebie. They spoil the fun for your real fans and give you extra work to filter them out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To make your life easier and avoid spam, <a href=\"https:\/\/rafflepress.com\/pricing\/\">RafflePress Growth and Ultimate<\/a> users can now limit how many people participants can refer with our <a href=\"https:\/\/rafflepress.com\/how-to-create-a-viral-refer-a-friend-giveaway\/\" title=\"How to Create a Viral Refer-a-Friend Giveaway\">Refer-a-Friend<\/a> entry option. That way, users can\u2019t spam the action for unlimited entries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s super-easy to set up. Simply add the Refer-a-Friend action to your giveaway widget, and in the settings panel, enter the maximum number of friends users can refer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"559\" height=\"387\" src=\"https:\/\/rafflepress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/limit-refer-a-friend-entries.png\" alt=\"limit refer a friend giveaway entries in rafflepress\" class=\"wp-image-7988\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rafflepress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/limit-refer-a-friend-entries.png 559w, https:\/\/rafflepress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/limit-refer-a-friend-entries-300x208.png 300w, https:\/\/rafflepress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/limit-refer-a-friend-entries-50x35.png 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 559px) 100vw, 559px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>RafflePress will stop awarding entries for referrals when the maximum number of referrals is reached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"559\" height=\"330\" src=\"https:\/\/rafflepress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/max-giveaway-referrals.png\" alt=\"Limit giveaway referrals rafflepress\" class=\"wp-image-7989\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rafflepress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/max-giveaway-referrals.png 559w, https:\/\/rafflepress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/max-giveaway-referrals-300x177.png 300w, https:\/\/rafflepress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/max-giveaway-referrals-50x30.png 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 559px) 100vw, 559px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most popular ways to use the Refer-a-Friend action is to boost brand awareness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can ask users to share your giveaway on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Facebook<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Twitter<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pinterest<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>LinkedIn<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Email<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Doing so will spread the word about your brand on those social media platforms, encourage more people to enter, and ultimately, tell their contacts to enter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a viral loop that keeps on giving!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"559\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/rafflepress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/viral-sharing-rafflepress.png\" alt=\"Viral giveaway loop\" class=\"wp-image-7990\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rafflepress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/viral-sharing-rafflepress.png 559w, https:\/\/rafflepress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/viral-sharing-rafflepress-300x242.png 300w, https:\/\/rafflepress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/viral-sharing-rafflepress-50x40.png 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 559px) 100vw, 559px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, to reach people interested in travel, you can run a giveaway for a dream holiday. Users can enter with the Refer-a-Friend action and share the giveaway on <a href=\"https:\/\/rafflepress.com\/how-to-run-a-social-media-photo-contest\/\">social media<\/a>, limiting referrals to 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A giveaway like that can boost awareness, drive targeted traffic to your giveaway page, and avoid the hassle of filtering spam entries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also use the Refer-a-Friend action for users to earn more chances to win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, you can require users to enter your giveaway by joining your email list. Then they can optionally refer friends for bonus giveaway entries, kicking off that viral sharing loop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"559\" height=\"394\" src=\"https:\/\/rafflepress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/viral-refer-a-friend-action.png\" alt=\"viral refer a friend giveaway with rafflepress\" class=\"wp-image-7991\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rafflepress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/viral-refer-a-friend-action.png 559w, https:\/\/rafflepress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/viral-refer-a-friend-action-300x211.png 300w, https:\/\/rafflepress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/viral-refer-a-friend-action-50x35.png 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 559px) 100vw, 559px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s it for today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s a quick recap of RafflePress\u2019s exciting new update:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>FluentCRM integration is available for Pro, Growth, and Ultimate plans.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Max referrals for the Refer-a-Friend action is available for Growth and Ultimate plans.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/rafflepress.com\/pricing\/\" style=\"background-color:#f3460e\">Get Started with RafflePress<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ll share more exciting things with you soon, so make sure to keep an eye out for the next announcement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Until then, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/rafflepress.com\/contact\/\">contact us for help<\/a> with either of these updates.
