• There are many ways to distribute purchase incentives, as you can see in this Back-to-School Scratch & Win demo. Participants try their luck by scratching the panel to reveal whether they have won a prize and, in return, register and share their contact information.

• There are several ways to organize a contest and collect UGC. The example below comes from an offline event held to launch a new brand for three schools. Attendees who took a photo at the event and posted it on Instagram with the campaign hashtag and a mention of the school's profile were automatically entered into the contest.

• Another way to encourage participation is to invite users to upload a photo and personalize it. In this Back-to-School PhotoFun demo, participants upload a photo and decorate it with frames and stickers featuring the brand's products and visual identity. This type of promotion is also an effective way to generate new leads for your database.
• Organize a Back-to-School Photo Contest and ask participants to submit photos featuring your products. Offer an attractive prize and your customers can become brand ambassadors. Few marketing strategies are as powerful as authentic user-generated content.
• If you want your contest to go viral, Easypromos Online Voting Contest allows you to combine image, video, and text entries within a single campaign. Ask participants to share their best Back-to-School memories through a photo, video, or written story. Entries can be displayed in public galleries, and you can enable public voting to select the winners. As participants share their entries to attract more votes, your campaign gains additional visibility and reach.
• Take advantage of the reach of Instagram Stories with an Instagram Stories Giveaway. Ask followers to post a Story featuring your product and mention your brand to participate. Easypromos offers a fully automated solution for running giveaways based on Instagram Stories.

• Back-to-School is closely associated with learning and knowledge. If your audience is interested in these topics, you can create a Quiz with Timer to test participants on a subject related to your brand, products, or industry. Try this Popular Sayings Timed Quiz demo to see how this type of campaign can be used to educate, entertain, and engage your audience.
• If you want to keep your audience engaged over a longer period, create a Tournament Bracket campaign for Back-to-School.

Because new voting stages open over time, participants return repeatedly to continue playing and improve their chances of winning. Try this Favorite School Subject Tournament Bracket demo to see how easily you can adapt this mechanic to your own campaign. This type of interactive campaign is still relatively uncommon, making it an effective way to capture attention and stand out.
