For example, ask users “Who do you think will win the World Cup?” and enter everyone who replies to your tweet into a giveaway.
You can then pick the winner easily using our Twitter Giveaway app. This, as you might imagine, is a great way of boosting users’ engagement with your Twitter profile.
World Cup retweets giveaway
When it comes to giveaways based on retweets, there are plenty of interesting options you can choose from. One is to launch a random giveaway between everyone who retweets your tweet. For example, throw down a challenge: “If we get more than 100 retweets in under 24 hours we’ll run a giveaway for tickets to the next game”. You could also encourage users to retweet a series of tweets over the course of a week for example. Select up to 10 tweets and collect all participants who have retweeted one or more of the 10 and run a giveaway for them. With this second option, you’ll be able to boost both, engagement and diffusion.

The first thing you need to do when launching this type of giveaway is come up with a hashtag. You’ll use this to identify participating tweets and viralize the giveaway on Twitter, so it’s important to choose your hashtag very carefully. Since this campaign is going to be all about the World Cup, we suggest your hashtag makes that clear, e.g. #EasypromosWorldCup.
