Research & Strategy

For each campaign, we meticulously research your demographic and find where they spend their time online. We connect with these users in their space: blogs, social networks, forums, and social sites to circulate your company’s content. We:

• Help better define the target audience and their interests/needs
• Develop viral messages that will appeal to this audience and best promote the campaign
• Research online influencers to determine a seeding/viral outreach strategy (blogs, websites, aggregators, etc)
• Develop the tactics and implementation plan for the campaign

Social Bookmarking Sites

SweepstakesPros submits your content to social bookmarking sites to extend your influence and encourage organic seeding. These sites take submissions of content and share them among their online community. Here, Internet users who may not frequent certain websites can discover new content that they may have otherwise missed. Within these communities, the more highly rated the content is, the more likely it will be passed along to fellow Internet users.

Re-targeting allows us to reconnect with missed users that come to a site but do not enter a promotion. The retargeting ad network follows users after they leave the website as they surf and displays our promotion ads over and over again on the sites they visit. These ads reach over 90% of the websites where your customers surf. This new technology keeps your campaign and brand at the forefront and top of your customer's minds.

User Engagement & Sharing

SweepstakesPros creates as many opportunities as possible for users to get involved with your brand and share your content. Wherever your content is located, we make it as easy as possible for visitors to share and spread the word with easy to use sharing tools and widgets.

These tools allow visitors to post links to your content on their blogs, social profiles and to bookmarking sites or even send an email to a friend with a just click, all without leaving the page hosting your content.
