Read on for a few results highlights and see if you need to shift your approach to prize selection for your promotions, and look at our infographic below which offers the full results:
What attracts a consumer most to a sweepstakes? Do participants give more weight to the brand or the actual prize?
According to the results, 82% of consumers surveyed give more weight to the award than the brand. This means that just because you sell the best tires in town, your audience may be more interested in your promotion if you offer a dinner for two, or an iPhone, than a pair of your signature tires.
What do consumers value most in a prize?
It’s all about ease, trust, and the ability to enjoy it with others.
- The prize is easy to implement and enjoy.
- It can be easily shared and enjoy it without complications.
- And if it is a trusted brand, much better.
And now the million dollar question: What kind of prize do consumers prefer?
We know that sometimes budget plays a role in prize selection, but here’s what our survey respondents said works best – and it’s not just an Apple Watch.
- Top Picks: Experiences (dinners, weekend get-aways, tickets, etc.), topped the list in addition to gadgets (tablets, smartphones), both being selected by 17% of respondents as their top choice when ranking a broad range of prizes.
- Women also like “just for me” prizes related to fashion and beauty (both with 11%).
- The younger crowd prefers as tickets to events, such as movies, concerts or other events (12%).
