Ep 237: Using Giveaways That Grow Your Customer Base With Derek Videll, Social Bamboo

When done right, giveaways will help you gain customers and organic followers. If you set up a giveaway in the past and found that it wasn't very effective, then you’re listening to the right podcast to make sure that never happens again!

In this episode, Derek Videll, Founder, and Host of The Social Bamboo Podcast gives us valuable tips on how to do giveaways effectively. He shares how you can avoid random followers but gain organic customers and followers instead. This is a good one, so listen up.

KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE

• Create ad campaigns that don’t require many touchpoints for purchases to happen.
• Do not use a general giveaway. If you want a following for a certain product, make that product your giveaway prize.
• Before the giveaway ends, send them an email to warm them up.
• On the last day of the giveaway, send them an email announcing the winner. Now that you have their attention, thank them for joining and give them a discount as a consolation prize. Remember to put a countdown for the sale.
• This strategy does not provide a guarantee that you will make a sale at the end of it, but now you have an organic following that is really interested in your product that you can now survey.
