One year later than planned, the Tokyo Olympics will finally kick off on July 27 – we will experience the most complete and professional sports competition in the world. Summer 2021 seems to be exceptionally sporty, as apart from the Olympics this summer we get to enjoy EURO 2020 and America’s Cup. We expect to see major spikes in views and social media activity when it comes to the Olympic Games; don’t you think that spectators worldwide will be happy to finally enjoy this fun and long-awaited event?
We suggest you take advantage of the excitement and buzz that the Olympic Games generate – in this blog post we share the most creative Olympic Games promotion ideas that will engage your audience, boost your brand, and increase sales!
Instagram Giveaway for the Olympic Games in Tokyo
This must be the easiest idea for engaging your audience right in time for the Tokyo Games. Wait for July 27 – the first day of this year’s event – and launch a comment giveaway for your Instagram followers; it’s a perfect opportunity to drive customer interaction and boost social media engagement. You can, for example, ask your audience to explain their favorite discipline or talk about their favorite athlete at this year’s event. To attract more participants, make sure you raffle a captivating prize (your bestsellers, product bundles, discount vouchers, etc.) and you can even ask participants to mention their friends in the comment section; this way you will attract more users and therefore boost your brand even further.
