Spin the Wheel on Instagram and Facebook

Branded mini-games can generate a lot of social media interactions. If you’re looking to reach a wider audience, it is highly recommended to share the link on your Facebook and Instagram profiles! It’s a great tactic to convert social media followers into leads and drive traffic to your website or blog if the promotion is embedded. 

Sharing the link on Facebook is very easy, as you can do it in the form of a standard post. However, many brands wonder how to introduce the branded prize wheel on Instagram to capture new participants. Here’s how to do it:

1. Create your branded prize wheel and copy the link.
2. Add a new Instagram story introducing the wheel to your followers and add the link redirecting the story viewers to your online roulette.
3. You can publish a new post explaining the promotion and add the link to your bio. 
4. Try promoted posts, as they allow you to include a direct link to the microsite of your branded prize wheel.

Tip from Easypromos: Use https://lnk.bio/ to add direct links to your Instagram posts.

How to display and redeem your Spin the Wheel promotion prizes

You can give away all kinds of prizes with your Spin the Wheel promotion: promotional codes, samples, free products, experiences… What’s important is to know how these prizes are presented once a user has won and how they can be redeemed.

After the user spins the wheel, a pop-up will come up displaying information about the prize won or showing a ‘No prize’. In the event of winning a prize, the user has several options to redeem it.

• If the prize is a discount or promotional code, the user will either see the code in the same window or receive it via email. In this case, the user will need to enter the code on the website during the purchase process to apply the discount.
• If the prize is provided by the brand, the user must claim it and provide their contact information to the store so the prize can be delivered.
• If the prize needs to be collected at the store, the user will see on the screen how to redeem the prize and the time left to do so. With this information, the user proceeds to the prize collection point and manages everything in the store from their own mobile device.
• Another validation option at the store is to show the QR code displayed in the promotion window, and the store staff will scan it to validate it and hand out the prize.

This kind of promotional action often takes place in the physical store itself, allowing the prize to be delivered instantly. Each participant can play from their mobile device and redeem the prize with the store staff through the redemption screen that comes up.
