Background

On the occasion of Jacaranda FM's 35th birthday, our client from South Africa came up with something very special. They organized an online voting contest in which they gave away six exciting prizes among all participating users.

The prizes to be won were as follows:

  • SPAR vouchers worth R5000
  • Ster Kinekor Vouchers
  • Nando's Vouchers
  • Vodacom Headphones
  • Vodacom Bluetooth Speaker
  • Jacaranda FM hamper

The contest was handled with a poll titled "Everything must go - stand a chance to WIN a gift when you pick a box".

The poll had 35 possible answers, with each answer representing a "box" under which a possible prize could be hidden. This idea motivated the users even more to participate in the poll, since you couldn't know which box would win. In addition, there were 35, of course referring to the 35th birthday.

Other highlights of the poll were:

One form to success

After the user voted, a form appeared over the entire area of the poll. This meant that the user could no longer overlook the form and was even more tempted to provide their contact details.

Furthermore, it was only possible to win a prize in the competition if the user had left his data after casting his vote, so that he could be contacted in the event of being selected as the winner.

The form itself consisted of the fields:

  • Name
  • Cellphone number
  • Email
  • ID number

These four fields were marked as mandatory, requiring the user to provide all data in order to submit the form.

Result

Kagiso Media has managed to generate over 30,000 leads in a very short time in a fun way using the above mentioned refinements. If we analyze the success in more detail, it's easy to see why this was successful:

  • Voting competitions are always a great incentive for users to participate in a poll
  • The trick that a prize could be hidden behind each box (answer) additionally aroused the curiosity of the users
  • A great marketing trick: You remember how old Kagiso Media is, right?
  • Through a clear design and a successful structure of the page, it was immediately clear what it was about
  • The form was placed over the entire poll so that the user's attention was immediately drawn to it after voting
  • Only by leaving his data a user could take part in the competition

We congratulate our client Kagiso Media to this success and look forward to more exciting projects with you!
