Selecting the Winner(s)
Next it’s time to choose the winners. With our platform, you can auto-pick instant winners based on number of entries (every 100 entries) or schedule a date and time to randomly draw one instant winner. The auto-pick solution will save you time if you have to pick multiple winners for different prizes.
If you’re offering one big grand prize, scheduling a date to choose an instant winner makes for a hands-off solution so that you don’t have to manually select a winner on your own.
However, you can also use a combination of both methods for selecting winners if you’re offering both smaller prizes and a grand prize for your instant-win sweep. bd’s Mongolian Grill used this strategy when they ran an instant win text sweep through Sweeppea to mark their 25th anniversary.
The company offered a grand prize trip to the Caribbean for a single instant winner while offering 2nd through 5th place prizes, as well as, daily instant-win prizes.
As a bonus hint for setting up a successful instant win text sweepstakes, make sure that you have plenty of prizes available. When your subscribers believe that they have a fair chance of winning because there are many prizes available, they’ll be more likely to sign up.
