People enter a contest to win a prize. A lucky draw then determines the winner.

Participants will be required to complete a few simple tasks to gain entry into a contest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These tasks usually include entering an email address, following a brand&#8217;s social media page, liking social media posts, and sharing the contest on their own social media profiles. Some giveaways require optional tasks such as watching a video and visiting a website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/d8mph_ISREMyS501iWhYWrMYbQIzXGS3RDTM4biedguXQ2Rm2A7do3KLxXB7PREKchkRs8Ts5zdM5m4WHCzDe4SHekdvy3vlWLHZDJ-iOxTIFgegOPHv-tdJX5pDoJPmImQtzw_k\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source:  <em><a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/RVtnDX3Vmo4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Unsplash<\/a><\/em> <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-types-of-emails-to-send-when-using-giveaways-\">Types of Emails to Send When Using Giveaways <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When running a giveaway online, you must collect email addresses from entrants. Not only will you be able to build up your email list quickly, but you will also have the opportunity to immediately engage with people who are interested in your product or service.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are three types of emails that you can send out to contestants during a giveaway:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-announcement-email-\">Announcement Email <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you already have an email list of subscribers interested in your product, you can simply send out an email informing subscribers of your giveaway.

Giveaways attract the right sort of attention that all brands desire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During a giveaway, contestants are eagerly checking their mail for an update on the giveaway, which means higher <a href=\"https:\/\/mailchimp.com\/resources\/email-marketing-benchmarks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">email open rates<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The purpose of an engagement email is to inform people of the progress of the giveaway. However, engagement emails are an opportunity to direct targeted traffic back to your website and social media.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This can be achieved by adding a compelling <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.useproof.com\/call-to-action-examples\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">call-to-action<\/a> to the email body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some examples of engagement emails include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Thank you for entering our giveaway<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reminder &#8211; Only 10 days left<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How to earn points in the giveaway<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5-congratulations-email-\">Congratulations Email <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The creme de la creme of all emails. One of the most important emails of the year for a lucky winner. The reader will be ecstatic upon reading the email, which is why it should not be a lengthy email with too many complicated instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Congratulations emails are simple emails that are meant to inform a person that they have won the giveaway while providing easy instructions on how to claim their prize. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Congratulations emails are also sent to all giveaway contestants to inform them of the winner of the giveaway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vyper.io\/user\/register?redirect=freeaccount\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.vyper.io\/9fbc0dd9-88f9-48a0-9e48-f860f72ab64e\/-\/stretch\/off\/-\/preview\/1024x1024\/\" alt=\"VYPER Free Account Signup Taylor Swift\" class=\"wp-image-8508\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"6-why-send-a-congratulations-email-\">Why Send a Congratulations Email <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Congratulations Emails are crucial to any giveaway.

You also have to make sure that the person who won the giveaway is eligible to win the prize as per your giveaway rules and regulations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have made a contest winner announcement, you can then <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/vyper.io\/blog\/contest-email-follow-ups\/\" target=\"_blank\">send out congratulations emails to all participants<\/a>. This email will confirm the winner and the end of the giveaway. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Congratulations emails have a very high open rate because contestants are eager to see who won.

You will also need to email contestants to inform them about the winner.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you initially notify non-winning entrants about the giveaway winner, most of them will be disappointed at first. To ease their disappointment and to keep the conversation going, you will have to provide entrants with some form of consolation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can do this by carefully producing your congratulations email to non-winners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"8-provide-value-\">Provide Value <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A straightforward congratulations email that simply mentions the winner will have little to no value for the non-winner that reads it. Your brand\u2019s perception of the reader can quickly sway the wrong way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Try adding something of value to the email to keep the reader invested in your brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An example would be to firstly thank the non-winning reader for entering the giveaway and for showing their support. Inform them if there will be more competitions in the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You could also offer them a freebie for their participation in the giveaway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"9-give-a-free-gift-\">Give a Free Gift <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/yLKw9AHwTtXTssjzNLg_SfyogbruQyKjQBBFusHc2Nez63z_7uHttwMaixaL8Qyr1FyZZAsLwlwZK2ufdrXF9txgvMoZpjrEbFqowxSkITUFWRwWoHvluYRjQ7nCziAXofGlrtQn\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"> Source:<em> <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/ZLTlHeKbh04\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Unsplash<\/a><\/em> <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>No one wants to be a loser. Offering all participants a chance to get something back after entering a giveaway will mean a lot to them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This way they won&#8217;t go home empty-handed. It is the least you can do for someone who has supplied you with their email and followed you on social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some examples of Free Gifts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Discount on next purchase<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A free course or training\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Free Ebook, PDF, or software<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"10-announce-the-winner-\">Announce the Winner <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When announcing a contest winner, its best to get permission from the winner to use their name and image. Some people wish to remain anonymous, which is why you should get in touch with the winner first before informing all contestants.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once all the small details are approved, you can then congratulate the winner in the email, while thanking everyone else for participating. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some brands request pictures from their winners. An image of the winner adds to the legitimacy of the competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"11-tell-entrants-about-your-brand-\">Tell Entrants About Your Brand <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Every giveaway will have plenty of contestants that barely know the brand. Giveaways are meant to go viral and reach people who would discover your brand for the first time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A congratulations email can be an ideal place to offer more information on your brand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"12-set-expectations-of-what-sort-of-emails-entrants-will-get-in-the-future-\">Set Expectations of What Sort of Emails Entrants Will Get in the Future <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that your email list is juiced up, and the hype around the giveaway is about to fade out, it&#8217;s time to get going with your <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mailshake.com\/networking-follow-up-email\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">email marketing strategy<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let your new audience know more about the emails that you plan on sending them in the near future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These emails can be email sequences or stories. You can also mention that you will be sending out monthly newsletters and weekly promotional emails. Make sure that you <a href=\"https:\/\/venngage.com\/blog\/best-time-to-send-an-email\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">send out your emails at the right time<\/a> for better results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"13-convert-entrants-to-customers-\">Convert Entrants to Customers <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p> A congratulations email can also be a means of converting entrants into paying customers. Don&#8217;t be discouraged when communicating with someone who entered your giveaway. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the prize was a product that you sell, like a pair of headphones, you could offer the entrant a cheaper pair at a reduced price.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"14-have-a-clear-unsubscribe-to-get-rid-of-low-quality-leads-\">Have a Clear Unsubscribe to Get Rid of Low-Quality Leads <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s crucial that you give your new list of email subscribers the option to unsubscribe. This will allow cold leads with little to no interest in your brand to leave your email list, which will make your list more valuable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You want to market to people who are interested in your brand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips on Writing Better Subject Lines<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"3 Easy Tips On How to Write Better Headlines That Convert\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_rr404vPhPA?feature=oembed\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The video above offers some useful tips on writing headlines for blog posts. The same tips can also be applied to writing subject lines for your emails. Some of the tips include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Writing multiple versions of your subject line<\/strong> &#8211; If you are crafting an email that will be sent to all your subscribers, take the time to come up with a few alternate versions first before deciding on the one you will use.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Understand your readers<\/strong> &#8211; The better you know your target audience, the more relatable your subject line can be.

You can also insert links to your website, socials, and the product page of the prize (if the prize is your own product).<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1587110548988\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">\u2753\ufe0f I&#8217;m a bit hesitant about sending out an email to announce the winner because of a potential uproar from entrants that don&#8217;t win. What do I do?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Not everyone can be a winner, which is the unfortunate reality of a giveaway. People who don&#8217;t win will be disappointed. Some may get upset and can respond negatively to your brand and audience. It&#8217;s best to ease this possible tension by offering non-winners a gift for participating. Eg. a discount or free shipping on their next purchase from your store.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"19-tldr\">TL;DR<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Contest winner announcement emails are considered to be priority emails for people who have entered a giveaway, which is why congratulations emails are crucial to your brand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When sending out a congratulations email, you will have to prepare a few drafts and make sure that there are no spelling mistakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A well-prepared congratulations email that offers non-winners value will send more targeted traffic to your website. The aim of a giveaway is to allow new customers to discover your brand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your congratulations email is one of the first impressions that you will have on your new leads. Make the most of it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you currently sending out contest winner announcement emails for your contests?
