Why Should I do an
Instagram Giveaway?

There are few things on social media that grab people's attention more than a giveaway. Human beings love giveaways, both for the chance of winning an amazing prize and for the thrilling buildup in anticipation of selecting a winner. From an Instagram influencer or marketer's perspective, however, a giveaway is a wonderful opportunity to boost engagement. Let's explain how that works.

When you hold a giveaway on Instagram, you need some sort of entry fee. Rather than asking your followers to pay money or perform some complex action, you simply ask them to comment on your post. You may also tell them to comment with a specific keyword or emoji, so that you can filter out bots and fake Instagram accounts.

Here's what happens. Your followers that see your post willingly enter your giveaway because all they have to do is leave a specialized comment. While they're doing that, your engagement metrics climb steadily upward.

Seeing how popular your post is with the influx of comments, Instagram may push it to more users who don't follow you. This expands your audience beyond your loyal following and could bring you even more engagement.

All this growth, from a simple giveaway? It sounds too good to be true, but it's possible. And it's simple, too — especially when you have a great tool like Viralyft's Instagram giveaway picker to make choosing a winner easy and exciting.

How To Do Marketing for Instagram Giveaways?

To get the biggest boost in engagement from your Instagram giveaway, first you need to let people know that you're holding a giveaway in the first place! With that in mind, here are some marketing ideas to spread the word that an amazing giveaway is happening in your Instagram post comment section.

Build up to the giveaway overtime

One way to tell people that you're having a giveaway is to work them up to it over a period of time.

To do that, upload a post that announces a giveaway and the wonderful prize you intend to offer the winner. Include the date that the giveaway post will be uploaded, so that users can mark it on their calendars. Then, keep the buzz going with multiple posts that constantly remind users of the upcoming event.

Use this strategy to create a sense of anticipation, so that by the time the giveaway post goes live, excitement will have bubbled over and you'll get lots of comments.

Promote the giveaway in your Instagram Stories

The beauty of Instagram Stories is you can post quite a few in one day. Whereas you'll typically only publish one or two regular posts in a 24-hour period. That's why we recommend using your Instagram Stories to help keep your giveaway top of mind for your followers, every day until the event.

Cross-promote on other social media platforms

Let your followers on other social media platforms know that you're having a giveaway that's exclusive to Instagram. You may get a lot more engagement, simply by making your other followers aware that they're missing out on something special.

How To Announce Giveaway Winner?

Once the giveaway winner is selected, how will you announce it? Here are some fun ideas that can help you capitalize on all the entrants' excitement.

Record the Instagram giveaway picker tool in action

If you're using a giveaway winner picker tool like ours, you can record the tool picking the winner and then post that video to your Instagram feed. Add visual effects like virtual fireworks or flashing words spelling out the winner's username over the top of the footage.

Show the winner selection happen in real time

Rather than record the Instagram random comment picker and then post it to your account later, start an Instagram Live session and show the winner selection happen in real time. This can help you connect more personally with your followers and share directly in their excitement.

Post a screenshot of the picker's results

If filming is not your cup of tea, just take a screenshot of the Instagram giveaway picker's results. Then you can post it to your account as a photo and tag the user who won.

What kind of Instagram contest rules does Viralyft support?

Viralyft's Instagram giveaway picker supports Instagram contests in which the comments are the winning factor. It doesn't select winners based on shares, likes, follows, or any other kind of engagement.
