This  whole  plan  is  a  result  of  my  $10,000  giveaway  mistake.

Page 3: 7 Steps to a Successful Social Media Giveaway (Step 2)

I  wrote  about  it  here:  www.medium.com/@claytonjay101

Page 4: 7 Steps to a Successful Social Media Giveaway (Step 2)

This  step  is  about  launch  day.  

Before  I  go  into  specifics  about  how  I  would  launch  the  giveaway,  a  brief  reminder  about  the  giveaway  structure  and  promo;on  plan.  

(Skip  ahead  if  you  have  seen  this  before.)

Page 5: 7 Steps to a Successful Social Media Giveaway (Step 2)

If  I  were  to  do  the  same  giveaway  again,  I  would:  

1.Run  giveaway  for  30–45  days  

2.Use  Facebook  as  the  social  network  where  customers  sign  up  for  the  giveaway.  

3.Share  a  Facebook  giveaway  themed  post  each  week.  Each  one  would  require  anyone  who  wants  to  enter  the  giveaway  to  “Like”  the  company  Facebook  page  and  share  that  Facebook  post.  

4.Use  a  Facebook  Live  broadcast  to  pick  and  announce  the  winner  on  giveaway  announcement  day.  

NOTE:  A  customer  would  be  allowed  to  enter  the  giveaway  as  many  ;mes  as  they  want.  For  example,  if  there  were  six  giveaway  themed  Facebook  posts,  a  customer  could  enter  the  giveaway  six  ;mes.

Page 6: 7 Steps to a Successful Social Media Giveaway (Step 2)

There  would  be  seven  steps  to  my  new  giveaway  promo;on  plan:  Step  1 — Announce  upcoming  giveaway.  

Step  2 — Launch  giveaway.  

Step  3 — Promote  giveaway.  

Step  4 — Announce  the  winner.  

Step  5 — Launch  post-­‐giveaway  content  sharing  campaign.  

Step  6 — Announce  next  upcoming  giveaway.  

Step  7 — Repeat  steps  2–6  above.

Page 7: 7 Steps to a Successful Social Media Giveaway (Step 2)

Like  I  did  with  step  one,  every  week  I  will  share  the  details  of  my  plan,  step  by  step,  with  samples  of  all  the  content  I  would  create  and  share.

Page 8: 7 Steps to a Successful Social Media Giveaway (Step 2)

Let’s  pick  it  up  with  step  2:  Launch  Giveaway

Page 9: 7 Steps to a Successful Social Media Giveaway (Step 2)

I  would  u;lize  eight  communica6on  channels:  

1.Social  media  (Facebook,  Instagram,  Snapchat,  YouTube,  Twi\er,  Gab  and  LinkedIn)  

2.Dealer  network  

3.Direct  sales  force  

4.Co-­‐marke;ng  partners  

5.Industry  publica;ons  and  industry  websites  

6.Email  marke;ng  to  customer  list  

7.All  hands  on  deck  

8.Company  website

Page 13: 7 Steps to a Successful Social Media Giveaway (Step 2)

Upload  and  share  a  short  video  WITH  cap6ons  that  shows  the  equipment  and  explains  the  giveaway.  

This  video  would  contain  sub;tles  since  almost  90%  of  videos  viewed  on  Facebook  are  viewed  the  volume  off  while  on  Twi\er  and  Instagram,  videos  start  playing  with  no  sound.  

Facebook,  Instagram  and  TwiGer

8 AM

TIP

8 AM

Hashtags  are  one  of  the  best  ways  to  be  discovered  on  Instagram,  I  would  use  up  to  30  on  the  Instagram  post.

Page 15: 7 Steps to a Successful Social Media Giveaway (Step 2)

Upload  and  share  a  short  video  WITHOUT  cap6ons  (same  as  Facebook  video)  that  shows  the  equipment  and  explains  the  giveaway.  

YouTube

8 AM

Page 16: 7 Steps to a Successful Social Media Giveaway (Step 2)

Gab  and  LinkedIn

8 AM

Copy  the  YouTube  video  link  (immediately  above)  and  paste  it  into  a  Gab  post  and  LinkedIn  update  with  this  message:  “$10,000  giveaway  launches  today:  h\ps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5Rk7m1swh8.”

Page 17: 7 Steps to a Successful Social Media Giveaway (Step 2)

By  The  Way…Follow  me  on  Snapchat  if  you  are  not  already.    

I  talk  about  digital  marke;ng  every  week  and  also  make  mildly  amusing  jokes  (even  my  wife  thinks  they  are  funny).

Instagram,  TwiGer  LinkedIn  and  Gab

12 PM

Share  a  picture  that  says  “$10,000  Giveaway  Launches  Today”  with  company  branding  on  the  bo\om  middle.

Page 24: 7 Steps to a Successful Social Media Giveaway (Step 2)

TIP

8 AM

I  would  not  share  this  photo  on  Facebook  since  I  would  not  want  to  confuse  people  about  which  post  they  need  to  share  in  order  to  enter.

Page 25: 7 Steps to a Successful Social Media Giveaway (Step 2)

TIP

8 AM

Picture  would  be  shared  on  LinkedIn  by  clicking  “Upload  a  photo”  from  their  op;ons.

2  PM

1.  Social  Media

Page 27: 7 Steps to a Successful Social Media Giveaway (Step 2)

Live  Video  on  Instagram  Stories

2 PM

Live  stream  broadcast  with  Live  Video  on  Instagram  Stories  where  I  explain  the  giveaway  and  show  the  equipment  (similar  to  Facebook  Live  video  example  at  3  PM).

Page 28: 7 Steps to a Successful Social Media Giveaway (Step 2)

TIP

8 AM

Live  Video  on  Instagram  Stories  allows  you  to  publicly  broadcast  live  video  that  does  not  save  to  your  profile  when  the  live  broadcast  ends.  During  your  live  stream  broadcast,  Instagram  puts  a  no;fica;on  at  the  top  of  everyone’s  News  Feed,  in  the  Instagram  Stories  sec;on,  that  you  are  broadcas;ng  live.

Live  stream  broadcast  with  Facebook  Live  where  I  explain  the  giveaway  and  show  the  equipment.

Page 31: 7 Steps to a Successful Social Media Giveaway (Step 2)

TIP

3 PM

This  would  be  a  similar  broadcast  to  the  Live  Video  on  Instagram  Stories  broadcast  except  it  will  save  to  the  company  Facebook  page.

TIPUnless  someone  turns  off  the  no;fica;on,  every  person  that  has  “liked”  a  Facebook  page  gets  a  no;fica;on  when  that  page  starts  a  Facebook  Live  broadcast.

Page 32: 7 Steps to a Successful Social Media Giveaway (Step 2)

5  PM

1.  Social  Media

Page 33: 7 Steps to a Successful Social Media Giveaway (Step 2)

Instagram,  TwiGer  LinkedIn  and  Gab

5 PM

Share  a  picture  that  says  “We  are  giving  away  this”  with  a  picture  of  the  equipment  being  given  away  and  the  company  branding  on  the  bo\om  middle.

Page 34: 7 Steps to a Successful Social Media Giveaway (Step 2)

TIP

5 PM

Since  the  picture  shared  at  12  pm  had  one  message  “$10,000  giveaway  launches  today!”,  I  would  share  a  separate  photo  that  actually  shows  the  equipment  someone  can  win  later  in  the  day.

Page 35: 7 Steps to a Successful Social Media Giveaway (Step 2)

TIP

5 PM

Picture  would  be  shared  on  LinkedIn  by  clicking  “Upload  a  photo”  from  their  op;ons.

Page 36: 7 Steps to a Successful Social Media Giveaway (Step 2)

By  The  Way…Follow  me  on  Instagram  if  you  aren’t  already    

I  talk  about  digital  marke;ng  every  week  and  also  post    pictures  of  my  way-­‐be\er-­‐looking-­‐than-­‐me  son/family.

2.  Dealer  Network

Page 38: 7 Steps to a Successful Social Media Giveaway (Step 2)

Since  the  dealer  network  has  been  prepared  for  the  giveaway  by  my  previous  phone  calls  and  emails,  I  would  do  two  things:  

1.Send  an  email  to  each  dealer  principle,  each  dealer  sales  person  and  each  dealer  marke;ng  person  that  today  is  giveaway  launch  day.  2.Call  each  dealer  marke;ng  person  to  remind  them  to  (1)  send  an  email  to  their  customer  list  informing  them  about  the  giveaway  launch  and  (2)  share  The  Company’s  giveaway  themed  Facebook  post.

Page 39: 7 Steps to a Successful Social Media Giveaway (Step 2)

Email  to  dealer  principles,  dealer  sales  people  and  dealer  marke;ng  people:  

Page 40: 7 Steps to a Successful Social Media Giveaway (Step 2)

TIPI  would  also  ask  the  each  dealer  marke;ng  person  to  share  giveaway  themed  social  media  posts  across  Twi\er,  Gab,  LinkedIn  and  Instagram.

TIPInstagram  does  not  allow  a  user  to  directly  share  a  picture  or  video  (like  Facebook)  by  pressing  a  bu\on.  Therefore,  the  dealer  marke;ng  person  could  download  the  app  Repost  to  share  The  Company’s  Giveaway  themed  Instagram  posts  or  I  would  email  the  Instagram  content  for  them  to  post.

Page 41: 7 Steps to a Successful Social Media Giveaway (Step 2)

3.  Direct  Sales  ForceSame  as  dealer  network  plan  but  instead  of  sending  an  email,  I  would  call  all  sales  people  and  remind  them  the  giveaway  

launch  is  today.

Page 42: 7 Steps to a Successful Social Media Giveaway (Step 2)

4.  Co-­‐Marke?ng  PartnersSame  as  dealer  network  plan.

NOTE:  Co-­‐marke;ng  partners  are  companies  that  sell  aligned  products  which  do  not  directly  compete.

Page 43: 7 Steps to a Successful Social Media Giveaway (Step 2)

5.  Industry  Publica?ons  and  Industry  Websites

Page 44: 7 Steps to a Successful Social Media Giveaway (Step 2)

Email  reminder:  

Page 45: 7 Steps to a Successful Social Media Giveaway (Step 2)

6.  Email  Marke?ng  to  Customer  List

Page 46: 7 Steps to a Successful Social Media Giveaway (Step 2)

Send  and  email  first  thing  in  the  morning  to  announce  the  giveaway  launch.

Page 47: 7 Steps to a Successful Social Media Giveaway (Step 2)

7.  All  Hands  on  Deck

Page 48: 7 Steps to a Successful Social Media Giveaway (Step 2)

Send  an  email  first  thing  in  the  morning  to  remind  all  Company  team  members  that  have  contact  with  the  

customer  about  giveaway  launch.

Page 49: 7 Steps to a Successful Social Media Giveaway (Step 2)

8.  Company  Website

Page 50: 7 Steps to a Successful Social Media Giveaway (Step 2)

Put  a  special  sec;on  at  the  top  of  the  website  homepage  with  a  giveaway  descrip;on,  how  someone  can  enter  and  a  link  to  the  company  Facebook  page.

Page 51: 7 Steps to a Successful Social Media Giveaway (Step 2)

TIPMy  website  design  has  the  menu  on  the  bo\om  of  the  mobile  (phone)  web  browser  since  it  is  easier  to  reach  with  your  thumb  when  scrolling  with  one  hand.

TIPThis  website  example  is  mobile  first.  What  I  mean  by  “mobile  first”  is  I  have  priori;zed  how  the  website  looks/func;ons  in  a  mobile  web  browser  over  a  desktop  web  browser.  Mobile  (from  your  phone)  internet  and  social  media  traffic  has  a  higher  volume  than  desktop  (from  your  computer)  traffic.

Page 52: 7 Steps to a Successful Social Media Giveaway (Step 2)

Stats  from  Digiday  that  show  traffic  volume  of  desktop  vs.  mobile  internet  consump;on.
