Carrying out a giveaway on Facebook and Instagram simultaneously is more common than you might think. In fact, many brands\u2019 marketing strategies include all of their social media channels. Hence, for brands with sizable online communities, the best way to reward followers is to organize giveaways and promotions. Doing so not only builds loyalty but also\u00a0grows the follower base organically<\/b>\u00a0since users feel acknowledged and valued.

How to do a giveaway on Facebook and Instagram simultaneously<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re looking into running one giveaway that takes place on both Facebook and Instagram simultaneously, keep on reading. This is the article for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first thing to bear in mind is that your giveaway has to be comment-based. This way, it can take place on both social networks at once. And so, you have to inform participants that commenting on the giveaway post is a requirement to participate<\/b>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The giveaway posts on Facebook and Instagram should have the same image and the same participation requirement: to comment on the post<\/b>. Therefore, the comment can be the answer to a question you ask in the post or something related to the theme of the giveaway. Doing this will allow you to carry out the simultaneous giveaway in an automated, reliable, and trustworthy manner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the participation period of your giveaway has come to an end and participants have commented on the Instagram or Facebook posts, it is time to pick the winners of your multi network giveaway<\/a>. To do it, all you have to do is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Simultaneous Facebook and Instagram giveaway with a single winner<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Our first example is a Facebook and Instagram giveaway that the chips\/crisp brand Two Farmers. The brand organized a Spring giveaway. The objective was to promote their products and create engagement on both networks. So, the brand organized a giveaway on Facebook and Instagram and randomly picked a winner from among the users that commented either on the Facebook or Instagram post<\/b>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n

    \n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    To participate, users had to comment on the giveaway post about what their favorite part of Spring is. The lucky winner was pampered with a hamper full of goodies from Two Farmers and two collaborating brands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Simultaneous giveaway on Instagram and Facebook with multiple winners<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    One more Facebook and Instagram giveaway, this time organized by skincare brand MartiDerm Portugal. In this case, the brand organized a giveaway to promote its sunscreen line. To participate, users had to comment on either of the giveaway posts saying which quality of the new sunscreen line is their favorite. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The natural prize of this giveaway was the sunscreen products. And so, they gave away two sunscreens to ten randomly selected participants<\/b>. Talk about the perfect prize before summer! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Instagram and Facebook giveaway with organic and promoted posts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The third example comes from Spanish drink distributor \u201cLa Bebida de tus Fiestas\u201d. They took St. Patrick\u2019s Day as an opportunity to promote themselves. Consequently, the giveaway post asked their target audience to comment on which drink they preferred: beer or whiskey. The prize was a hamper of the brand\u2019s products and the organizers chose the winner randomly from among all participants who commented on any of the posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Finally, to give the giveaway a wider reach, the brand promoted a post on Instagram<\/b>. Using the Easypromos platform, the brand was able to collect all the comments on all the posts, whether they were from Facebook or Instagram, promoted or organic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Giveaways with collaborators<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    In our last example, we take a look at two complementary, some would say, brands, Fireheart Coffee and Montezuma’s Chocolate that organized a giveaway to raffle a pack of their own products. For the promotion, each brand published the giveaway post on both Facebook and Instagram for users to comment on to participate. Using the Easypromos platform, the organizers were able to gather all the comments on the various posts and carry out a single prize draw<\/b>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
