This whole plan is a result of my $10,000 giveaway mistake.
![Page 4: 7 Steps to a Successful Social Media Giveaway (Step 2)](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022100802/58707f1f1a28ab57368b5f2d/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
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)](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022100802/58707f1f1a28ab57368b5f2d/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
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)](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022100802/58707f1f1a28ab57368b5f2d/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
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.

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)](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022100802/58707f1f1a28ab57368b5f2d/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Let’s pick it up with step 2: Launch Giveaway
![Page 9: 7 Steps to a Successful Social Media Giveaway (Step 2)](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022100802/58707f1f1a28ab57368b5f2d/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
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

This sec;on is grouped by what ;mes I would post/share content on giveaway launch day.
![Page 12: 7 Steps to a Successful Social Media Giveaway (Step 2)](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022100802/58707f1f1a28ab57368b5f2d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

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.

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.

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

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)](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022100802/58707f1f1a28ab57368b5f2d/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

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)](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022100802/58707f1f1a28ab57368b5f2d/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
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.
![Page 29: 7 Steps to a Successful Social Media Giveaway (Step 2)](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022100802/58707f1f1a28ab57368b5f2d/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

![Page 30: 7 Steps to a Successful Social Media Giveaway (Step 2)](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022100802/58707f1f1a28ab57368b5f2d/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Facebook Live
3 PM
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)](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022100802/58707f1f1a28ab57368b5f2d/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
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.

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)](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022100802/58707f1f1a28ab57368b5f2d/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
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)](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022100802/58707f1f1a28ab57368b5f2d/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
TIP
5 PM
Picture would be shared on LinkedIn by clicking “Upload a photo” from their op;ons.

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.

![Page 37: 7 Steps to a Successful Social Media Giveaway (Step 2)](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022100802/58707f1f1a28ab57368b5f2d/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
2. Dealer Network
![Page 38: 7 Steps to a Successful Social Media Giveaway (Step 2)](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022100802/58707f1f1a28ab57368b5f2d/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
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)](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022100802/58707f1f1a28ab57368b5f2d/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Email to dealer principles, dealer sales people and dealer marke;ng people:
![Page 40: 7 Steps to a Successful Social Media Giveaway (Step 2)](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022100802/58707f1f1a28ab57368b5f2d/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
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)](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022100802/58707f1f1a28ab57368b5f2d/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
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)](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022100802/58707f1f1a28ab57368b5f2d/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
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)](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022100802/58707f1f1a28ab57368b5f2d/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
5. Industry Publica?ons and Industry Websites
![Page 44: 7 Steps to a Successful Social Media Giveaway (Step 2)](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022100802/58707f1f1a28ab57368b5f2d/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Email reminder:
![Page 45: 7 Steps to a Successful Social Media Giveaway (Step 2)](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022100802/58707f1f1a28ab57368b5f2d/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
6. Email Marke?ng to Customer List
![Page 46: 7 Steps to a Successful Social Media Giveaway (Step 2)](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022100802/58707f1f1a28ab57368b5f2d/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)

7. All Hands on Deck
![Page 48: 7 Steps to a Successful Social Media Giveaway (Step 2)](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022100802/58707f1f1a28ab57368b5f2d/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
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)](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022100802/58707f1f1a28ab57368b5f2d/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
8. Company Website
![Page 50: 7 Steps to a Successful Social Media Giveaway (Step 2)](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022100802/58707f1f1a28ab57368b5f2d/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
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)](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022100802/58707f1f1a28ab57368b5f2d/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
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)](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022100802/58707f1f1a28ab57368b5f2d/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Stats from Digiday that show traffic volume of desktop vs. mobile internet consump;on.
