Make Your Next Contest Awesome
| I’m excited to launch my first ebook: 45 Contests. To celebrate I’m kicking off contests week here at Smaller Box. All week long I will be sharing contest-related resources and running a contest of my very own. First let me tell you all about the new ebook:
45 Contests is a 52 page ebook that explores promotional contests in depth and provides 45 real world examples of successful promotional contests. My ebook explains each contest in detail and explains how the contest sponsor benefited from the promotion. |
 Read Meylah’s Review of 45 Contests |
Within the book you’ll find:
- 11 factors you must consider before launching a contest
- 8 different ways to promote a contest
- A master list of 40 places you can easily get links and traffic for your contest
- Tactics for encouraging people to become fans on Facebook without breaking Facebook’s promotional rules
- Top notch examples of how you can use contests to:
- increase brand awareness
- improve customer engagement
- improve your SEO
- drive social media connections
- score media placements
- encourage customer loyalty and brand affinity
- increase your website traffic
