The Marathon is active on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube. They also operate on Strava, which is one of the best mobile apps for runners and cyclists. However, their Instagram account has the highest level of interactions (based on comments and likes). Hence the idea of organizing an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.easypromosapp.com\/instagram-giveaway\/\">Instagram Giveaway<\/a>. Having in mind the objectives the following entry requirements were set:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Follow the account of The Valencia Marathon (@maratonvalencia) and that of the prize sponsor, Garmin (@garmin_iberia). This allowed both brands to gain new followers. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Instagram Giveaway was based on comments, therefore the participants had to leave a comment mentioning a friend that could also be interested in winning the prize. The requirement increased online engagement.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The organizers shared the legal content of the promotion in a link in the BIO of The Valencia Marathon account. This way the participants could access the information in an easy manner. <strong>The fundamental role of the success of the marathon giveaway was the prize<\/strong>\u2026 it was ideal for the target audience! And <strong>it attracted their attention<\/strong>, the way it was planned. Two Garmin Forerunner 645 Music watches (400\u20ac each) were waiting for two lucky winners! These attractive awards i<strong>ncreased brand awareness<\/strong> and <strong>informed potential runners<\/strong> about the event. In addition, the organizers used other social media networks to share the marathon giveaway and reach a wider audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wwwcdn.cstmapp.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/maraton-valencia-facebook.jpg\" alt=\"Marathon giveaway shared on facebook\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-21215\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The results<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>More than <strong>8,000 people participated in the giveaway<\/strong>.
