Create a Valentine’s Day giveaway to light the spark with your audience. It’s the perfect occasion to engage with your community online and re-energize your social media by offering the thrill of competition. Make sure to choose prizes that fit the occasion: something luxurious, something to share, or something nice and sweet.
Multi-Network Giveaway for your Valentine’s social media contest
Valentine’s Day social media contests continue to be very popular on Facebook, Instagram, and X (Twitter). But depending on your brand, audience, and approach, you might see more engagement on only one of these social networks. However, if you want to organize a Valentine’s social media contest, you can now organize one giveaway on several different platforms.
Most brands run social media contests on several different social networks. For example, you might combine Facebook and Instagram. However it’s expensive and time-consuming to create individual contests for each channel.
When you use the Multi-Network Giveaway app, you can run a single giveaway that unites Instagram and Facebook. It also combines separate posts, different languages, and even separate profiles.
So for example, you could run a contest in multiple countries, or team up with an influencer to award your prize. This yarn brand ran a contest on both Facebook and Instagram, for their communities in France and the UK.
Running a Valentine’s Day social media giveaway on multiple networks has a lot of perks. You don’t only save time, but you also ensure that you get to target the whole online community. Just start by creating a Valentine’s Day giveaway post on each profile that you use. You need people to comment, so start the conversation with an engaging question or prompt.
Discover how one blogger ran a successful giveaway on four different networks!
This brand asked their fans to name their Valentine – and explain why they loved them so much. People love to share stories of how they met, and what makes their partner special.
Make sure that you display the prize and explain the details clearly. The perfect prize on Valentine’s Day is a couples’ gift or experience.
Then, once you’ve collected thousands of comments, just connect each post with your Easypromos account. With the multi-network app, the platform will collect all the comments, pick a winner, and give you detailed statistics about how your social media strategy is working.
