New Year’s Eve Promotions and Contests

New Year celebrations are just round the corner. Every business, especially restaurants are gearing up for the big day! While all of these “offline celebrations” can be fun, we see no reason why they can’t be extended to envelope the “online world” as well!

Facebook Contest

The best place to start an online activity is social media. You can conduct a contest on Facebook for a week. The visitors could be asked 7 easy questions. They can be made to visit your website for clues. This could even increase your website traffic engagement apart from creating a buzz around social media. Each of these 7 questions could be asked on seven separate days so that visitors come back to your site for 7 continuous days and even invite their friends when they visit your page. Each day, you can declare a winner so as to keep the momentum going!

Have an Online Sale

If you are dealing with online shopping product, you may even give away promotional codes for people who enter your sweepstakes contest. It could be about anything like, “Write a New Year Resolution” contest. In the process you can collect the email and name of the persons who register and thus expand your mailing list of customers.

Offer a BIG Discount Sale for 24 Hours Only!

This will generate a buzz as people will rush to get the best deal before it expires. If can be anything like a 50% OFF on your branded clothing, or Buy 1 Take 1 FREE. It can be anything which will make people stop in their tracks, look at your offer, pull up their socks and rush for it!

Instagram and Facebook Giveaway

The Instagram contest could be as simple as a ‘follow and repost this graphic to win’! Additionally, the visitor must also like your Facebook fan page to be eligible to enter the contest. The graphic could be any of your products, with contest instructions written on it. That way, if it gets re-posted, people will automatically get to know about the contest and its rules. They can in-turn, take part by following you and re-posting the contest graphic right away.

Twitter Follow and Re-tweet Contest

You may create a special hashtag for the Twitter contest. You may have a question on the lines of, “What do you like most about our products?” The winner would be entitled to a 50$Gift Voucher.

MP4 Video Contest

All you have to do is to film yourself celebrating the new-year in an mp4 video and share it via Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. This will definitely increase your engagement level.

Thus many promotions can be run on social media to make the best of the holiday season. For more information on product promotion, advertising, web design and development in New Zealand, contact WebCanny.
