Text to Win

Customer appreciation

Creating hype around an event or product launch

Growing subscriber lists

Holiday campaigns

First, Damian sets up a campaign announcing the contest and connects it to a keyword (in this case, “BLACKLETTER”).

Then, he sends out a campaign that looks like this:

Note that the campaign includes: 

• The prize to be won 
• How to enter to win
• A way to order more products
• The name of the brand 
• A compliance message telling recipients how to unsubscribe

On your selected date, we select the winner(s).

Then, all Wine Hooligans has to do is notify the winner(s).

Head to the Apps tab on your main account screen.

Choose Text to Win Contests. 

Click create new contest.

Name your contest (this is just for your reference) and choose which keyword to connect it to.

Fill out your auto-confirmation message. This is a good space to let your subscribers know what you’re giving away and tell them they can reply to your text to enter the contest. 

Set any age restrictions necessary for your giveaway and save your contest. We’ll randomly select a winner from those who enter.

We’re easy to implement

Once you’ve created your campaign and keyword, our clever system will do the hard work for you! Our system will randomly shuffle through the entrants and pick a random winner for you. Write the perfect congratulations message for your lucky winner and our platform will send it out.

When a customer enters your sweepstakes, you can add them to a messaging flow. Send entrants automatic messages days, weeks or even months after they enter.
