For the email entries we will create a landing page on Step Out Buffalo with your Giveaway details, this landing page will be on our homepage for one week and will get shared on our Facebook page. Here is what that looks like and when a reader clicks on this link they will be directed to your page where they can then enter their email.

What To Expect

After your giveaway is complete we will select a winner from either Instagram or the list of emails which have entered. We will send you the winners email address and it is the responsibility of the advertiser to contact that winner with the best way to claim their prize within one week. Step Out Buffalo will provide an excel file with all opted-in email addresses. These can be added to your email newsletter for future marketing. While results vary generally an advertiser can expect 250-500 new followers and email subscribers. 


Fulfillment

The advertiser will provide an image (with no text) along with prize and value. We suggest a value of at least $100 value – the bigger the prize the more entries the giveaway will generally yield.

Images | Client is responsible for providing images for their post – all advertisers must have rights to the images provided. Title image can’t have text overlays (like a flyer) and “organic”  images will get the most reach. Good images include product shots, customers enjoying themselves, the venue or space of the business, or images from a previous year event.  Low quality, blurry images will not perform well so the higher the resolution the better. If you have any questions as to which images would be best your campaign coordinator can advise.
