We’ve gone over the potential benefits of an online prize wheel. Now let’s take a look at some examples that will shed some light on how such promotional action might look like.
Customized Prize Wheel Online as the centerpiece of a digital campaign
Being aware of the importance of reaching not only distributors but also final customers, confectionary company Vidal Golosinas launched its online shop. Since its inception, the company has launched several online actions to promote and boost the sales of its products.
The brand decided on a fully customized prize wheel to work on its brand exposure and promote its products. Take a look at how the company fully customized the sections of the wheel with texts and images of its products.
This prize wheel was the brand’s centerpiece in their summer campaign.
Users introduced their order number to spin the wheel for the chance to win a prize. This consequently boosted sales as customers had to make a purchase to participate. After spinning the wheel, users immediately knew if they had won a prize.
Promote your company in virtual or live events
Cisco Live is an internationally renowned IT networking event. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2021 edition was held virtually. Network visibility and traffic monitoring technology vendor Gigamon came up with a corporate prize wheel to promote its virtual booth and attract potential networking contacts.
To ensure that participants were attendees of the event, users registered with the same email address they used to register for the event and provide a shipping address to receive their prize.
Build customer loyalty and draw foot traffic
Singaporean fashion apparel iONA launched a Chinese New Year campaign aimed at building customer loyalty, boosting sales, and drawing foot traffic to their outlets. Furthermore, the brand used social media to promote the campaign and explain the participation requirements.
Customers who made a purchase for a minimum account in any of their outlets in Singapore got a chance to spin the wheel for the chance of winning store credit vouchers or cash prizes. Additionally to the aforementioned marketing objectives, the brand also nurtured its database with contacts for future email marketing campaigns.
Use a prize wheel to give away merchandising
If the idea is simply to pamper your customers and reward them for their loyalty, why not gamify the experience and make it even better? The Internet and phone service provider Yoigo did just that with a Spin the Wheel promotion to give away merchandising among their clients.
Thanks to the customization features of the Spin the Wheel app, the brand configured the prize odds so that the vast majority of participants won a prize.
Prize wheel to attract new clients and reward existing ones
This example takes us back to Singapore once again, where G-Force mobile phone service provider launched a campaign to both reward existing customers and attract new ones. To participate in the promotion users could either spend a minimum amount on their store or sign up for a phone plan. Prizes ranged from mobile phone accessories to a new mobile phone as the top prize.
An attractive prize is a key to capturing users’ attention, more so if the prize is appealing to your target audience. A wheel prize might seem more appropriate to distribute smaller prizes, but it doesn’t have to be so. The prize distribution can be configured by odds, by instant win, or a combination of both.
Prize wheel to distribute discounts and promote sales
Last but not least, a prize wheel is an efficient and fun way to encourage users to shop by offering discounts. Thus, allowing users to spin the wheel for the chance to win a discount might well just be the little nudge they need to go for the purchase.
Users can access the promotion in a variety of ways. Since the promotion has its own microsite and URL, it can be shared by email, social media, and instant messaging apps. It can also be embedded into your website using the widget feature. That’s just what Celtic Titles did as part of their St. Patrick’s campaign in our last example. By embedding the prize wheel widget in their website’s home page, they made it easy for users to see it and participate.
