Instagram Story Giveaway FAQs

  • How can I organize an Instagram Story giveaway?

    Whether you're running a giveaway among users who reply to your Story or among those who mention your brand in their Story, the steps to follow are:

    • Draft and publish the post or Story announcing the giveaway. Inform users how to participate, either replying to your Story or mentioning your brand in a Story they post. Also, specify that in the case of the Story + Mention dynamic, participants must have a public profile.

    • Once the participation period has ended, use our Instagram Story Giveaway application to import all participants and select the winner or winners.

    • Announce the winner and ask for their contact information to deliver the prize. This step-by-step guide will assist you throughout the process.

  • Yes! Instagram's Terms & Conditions allow you to run Easypromos giveaways in Stories. The app uses Meta's API to automate participant collection, so you don’t have to count them manually. Using a reliable winner selection tool ensures a fair selection process, increasing your profile’s relevance and helping your future Stories appear at the top of users’ feeds.

  • No. It’s impossible to collect contact information from Instagram Story Giveaway participants as the giveaway is carried out using the participants' public information on Instagram. However, you can collect contact details from the winner so that you can deliver the prize. If you want to convert your followers into leads opt for an Entry Form Giveaway and share it on Instagram and other social media channels. 

  • Yes. The tool allows you to collect replies or mentions from past Stories from up to 30 days prior. This means you can run an Instagram Story Giveaway and remind users each day to reply or comment. It is not possible to save the Story itself, but you can store the information of the user who published it or interacted with it.
