Instagram Story Giveaway Frequently Asked Questions

  • How to organize a giveaway on Instagram Story?

    There are two ways to organize a giveaway on Instagram Stories: choose winners from among users that reply to your Story or those that mention your brand in a Story published on their public account. In both cases you have to:

    1. Prepare the giveaway announcement. Explain entry requirements, prizes, and until when users can participate. Highlight the fact that only public accounts can participate in Story giveaways with mentions.
    2. Once you announce the giveaway, use the Instagram Story Giveaway app to import all the replies and mentions so that you can choose a winner from among all participants. 
    3. Announce the winners and ask them to share all the necessary information to receive their prize.
