Are Instagram Giveaways Worth It?

Giveaways are a quick way for you to gain followers and promote products. The world’s largest brands and influencers hold giveaways because they know that they’ll help them:

Put their products in front of their ideal customers or clients
Generate a lot of buzz
Get media attention
Gain followers

And if you already have a following, a giveaway is one of the best ways to say “thank you” to them for supporting you. Engagement from a giveaway will soar, which may even help your posts start to get more love from Instagram’s algorithm.

When you use the best Instagram giveaway picker – ours – it makes giveaways fun again.

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 SocialMention's Instagram giveaway picker to make choosing a winner easy and exciting.

How to Promote Instagram Giveaways

Even with the best Instagram giveaway tools, you still need to promote your giveaways. If your giveaway only helps you add 10 followers, it’s obviously not going to have the impact that you hoped it would.

So, what do we recommend before you even use a pick giveaway winner on Instagram?

Promotion.

You're giving something of value away to people – they will love it. Promoting free prizes is easy.

You can begin promoting your giveaway in a few ways:

Ask people to like, comment and share your post to go viral.

Build up the giveaway over time to hype it up and get it mentioned online.

Pay to advertise the giveaway so that people hear about it ahead of time.

Partner with an influencer or brand that can promote your giveaway. Run a giveaway during a holiday or special event when people are looking for them.

Add hashtags to the post that can get it found, such as #contest, #giveaway, #free and others.

If you follow the tips above, you’ll have an easy time promoting your giveaway.
