They can create buzz around your company, help customers feel valued, and increase brand loyalty.

In this article, we will go through 24 statistics that show how giveaways and contests can be an effective marketing tool for your company.

General Giveaway and Contest Statistics

Although giveaways and contests differ slightly (giveaways being all about chance and contests revolving more around a skill rather than just a random chance to win), the statistics around both cover the same topics.

Here are some general statistics about giveaways and contests.

1. An estimated 132,200 people search for “giveaways” each month on Google.

Here’s a breakdown of the estimated search volume for specific giveaway-related terms:

• 7,300 people search for “Instagram giveaways” each month
• 1,100 people search for “Facebook giveaways” each month
• 500 people search for “social media giveaways” each month
• 200 people search for “TikTok giveaways” each month

2. 60,000 people search for “contests” each month on Google, as estimated by Semrush.

Here are the stats broken down by platform:

• 1,100 people search for “Instagram contests” each month
• 1,700 people search for “Facebook contests” each month
• 1,800 people search for “social media contests” each month
• 110 people search for “TikTok contests” each month

3. Over 800 million searches on Google are related to “giveaway”.  

Contest-related searches are even more popular – there are over 2 trillion searches related to “contest.”

4. The top 5 countries searching for giveaways are Indonesia, Mexico, India, the United States, and Germany.

Email Marketing Giveaway and Contest Statistics

Next, let’s look at a few email statistics and whether you can use them to advertise giveaways and contests.  

5. The 2024 email marketing market is valued at over $12 billion globally.

This reflects a significant increase from $7.5 billion in 2020, and it’s expected to continue growing. In fact, it’s estimated to reach $17.9 billion by 2027. This growth presents a golden opportunity for companies to use email marketing to promote their giveaways and contests.

6. Contest emails have an average open rate of 45%, higher than any other email campaign.

7. The average conversion rate for contest emails is 5.52%, which is more than double the 2.54% average for all email types.

8. 99% of email users check their inbox every day, and some do so as many as 20 times.

And since 58% of all users check their email first thing in the morning, it’s a prime time to schedule your giveaway and contest emails for maximum engagement.

9. 60% of companies prefer email marketing for promoting contest landing pages.

This is because email marketing makes it easy to conduct A/B testing of different versions and offers an impressive return on investment ($36 ROI for every $1 spent).

When you lead users to your contest landing page, keeping them engaged is essential to boost contest participation. For this, you can use an interactive landing page quiz. A quiz can increase engagement and collect valuable data that you can use in the future for targeted marketing and even improve your products or services.

Social Media Giveaway and Contest Statistics

Social media is one of the most popular places for companies to drive traffic to giveaways and contests. Let’s start with some general statistics and then move on to more specific social platforms.

10. The social commerce market is forecast to grow to $8.5 trillion by 2030 (from $1.2 trillion in 2023).

Although the main goal of giveaways and contests isn’t to directly boost sales, the projected growth in social commerce suggests a rising trust in brands among consumers, who are increasingly making purchases. This means that giveaways and contests on social media could be even more effective for engagement.

11. 38% of Gen Z unfollow brands that share boring posts.

The main reason why young consumers unfollow brands is that their timelines become flooded with uninteresting posts. Humor is key – 91% of people want brands to be funny, and 72% would choose a funny brand over competitors. Giveaways and contests are a playful way to break up the monotony of boring timelines, and incorporating quizzes can add an extra layer of fun and engagement.

Instagram Giveaway and Contest Statistics

Next, let’s focus on more platform-specific statistics.

12. Instagram is the 4th most visited website globally.

The huge popularity of Instagram makes it an excellent platform to advertise your giveaways and contests, and since many companies aren’t doing it, it’s easier to stand out.

13. 90% of Instagram users follow at least one business. 

In fact, the majority of Instagram users use the app primarily for the purpose of receiving updates and engaging with businesses. 

A great way to engage your followers is by holding a contest with a fun poll. You can do this with a native Instagram poll in Stories, but it does have limitations: you can’t export data to your customer relationship management (CRM) system, there’s a limit of four answer options, and polls last only 24 hours. For advanced features like data collection, more answer options, and extended voting, you need to use a tool like Opinion Stage to create your Instagram poll.

14. Instagram is the most popular social media platform for hosting giveaways.

The hashtags “giveaway” and “giveaways” account for over 53 million posts on Instagram.

Since 2019, Instagram giveaways have had the most Google searches of all popular social media platforms.

15. Contests receive 3.5 times as many likes and 64 times as many comments as regular posts.

16. 91% of posts with over 1,000 comments were giveaways.

Giveaway posts tend to have high engagement, and engagement is a crucial ranking factor on Instagram. Likes, comments, and shares all get factored into the algorithm’s calculations. Since giveaways naturally spark a flurry of comments, they essentially give your posts a powerful boost.

17. Accounts grow +70% faster when they hold contests.

18. Only 2% of Instagram marketers run contests or giveaways.

Also, only 0.56% of Instagram posts are contests, proving the massive opportunity for companies to capitalize on Instagram.

Facebook Giveaway and Contest Statistics

19. Facebook is the 2nd most searched platform for giveaways.

Although Instagram now holds the top spot, Facebook was the most searched platform for giveaways between 2010 and 2017. 

20. Facebook has over 25 million giveaway or contest-related posts.

There are over 10 million giveaway or contest-related Facebook groups, although most of them are inactive. You can run contests in groups using Facebook’s native poll features, but this feature lacks the detailed analytics needed for precise results. Plus, you can’t create polls for personal or company pages. A workaround for these Facebook limitations is to use a tool like Opinion Stage to create advanced Facebook polls you can embed anywhere.

21. Facebook image posts have the highest interaction rate at 0.12%.

Use this to your advantage by designing eye-catching graphics that showcase your giveaway. Write a catchy caption that sparks curiosity, and consider adding an attractive Facebook quiz to boost engagement and entries.

TikTok Giveaway and Contest Statistics

22. There are 3.1 million posts with the hashtag “giveaway” on TikTok.

23. 73% of consumers prefer to watch short videos to get a better understanding of a product or service.

Plus, 94% of marketers agree that video helps their customers understand products or services better. And since short-form content is so effective, that makes TikTok the ideal place for marketers promoting giveaways and contests. To maximize the impact of these campaigns, it’s also important to know the best time to post on TikTok, making sure your content reaches the largest and most engaged audience.

Influencer Marketing Giveaway and Contest Statistics

24. 81% of marketers believe user-generated content resonates with customers more than professional photos or influencer content.

87% of marketers also believe that user-generated content is a more authentic way to ensure content diversity. If you’re planning to use influencer marketing to launch your contests or giveaways, this is something to keep in mind.

Are Giveaways an Effective Marketing Strategy?

With over 5 billion active social media users (and growing year after year), companies are looking for ways to stand out, and one approach is through giveaways and contests.

So, do giveaways work? The data says yes. 

Even though they’re a powerful marketing tool, the secret sauce is creating an effective giveaway and contest strategy. For example, you can host fun quiz competitions. They give participants a chance to show off their knowledge and skills and foster a sense of community – just what you need to make your brand memorable.  

And that’s exactly what consumers are looking for in 2025.

Wanted to learn more about each format? Following is a short introduction to each one of the item formats we support:

Polls

Polls are another type of content that you can use to increase engagement on your site. In a poll, you ask your audience a question, and after they vote you let them see the vote break down. There are many scenarios in which polls are ideal. For example, you might want to find out whether your users like your new site, discover your audience’s favorite celebrity, or learn their opinion on topics of the day. Polls are effective because people like sharing their opinions about things. They also like seeing how their opinion stacks up against others. A poll makes it easy for them to compare themselves, which can lead to more discussions on your site. You can use Multi-Poll sets to group a few polls together. For more information, refer to the poll maker product page or to our poll templates.

Forms / Surveys

Interactive forms & surveys are great for receiving detailed information about your audience. You can use this information to get feedback, do research, gather data, and much more. The key to creating an engaging form or survey is to use a variety of media. Opinion Stage lets you add images, videos, gifs, and more to make your questions appealing. Visuals capture people’s attention and keep them coming back for more. For more information, refer to the form maker or survey maker product page.

Trivia Quiz

Trivia Quizzes are among the most engaging forms of interactive content. They have several right or wrong answers. Users answer each question and then see how they did at the end (you can also configure the quiz to show if the answers were correct immediately). For more information on trivia quizzes, refer to the trivia maker product page or to our trivia quiz templates.

Personality Quiz

Personality quizzes have the potential to be extremely viral and very popular online. If you spend a lot of time on social media, you’ve probably taken a personality quiz before. You can recognize a personality quiz by looking at its title. It will usually be something like “What Pet Animal Are You?“ or “What Is Your Most Dominant Trait?” if it’s a casual personality quiz. If the quiz is more on the business side, it could be “What Type of Investment Plan Suits You?” or “What Blender Should You Buy?”.

Both trivia and personality quizzes are great formats for increasing engagement. They work so well because users have to get involved to see the end result. People also like learning about themselves, and quizzes are a great way to help them do that. For more information on personality quizzes, refer to the personality quiz maker product page or to our personality quiz templates.

Wishing you a happy Black Friday and all the best from Opinion Stage.

The post Top Black Friday SaaS Software Deals for 2024 appeared first on Opinion Stage.

Formats

All of the formats offered in Opinion Stage are interactive. The following are the main formats supported by Opinion Stage.

Interactive Form

Opinion Stage has an interactive, one-question-at-a-time form that helps reduce participant fatigue and encourage completion.

Here is an example of an interactive form created with Opinion Stage:

Opinion Stage also offers a wide variety of form templates that you can use to kick-start your creation process.

Survey Format

You can create interactive forms that maximize participation rates with Opinion Stage surveys. This is achieved by making survey forms that look great, are interactive, and are designed to optimally display on all devices and platforms. You can also create a WhatsApp form or integrate your forms and surveys into many different platforms.

Whether you build your forms from scratch or use one of the many templates offered in the Opinion Stage templates library, you can easily add a cover, introduction, and engaging images to enhance and beautify your surveys. 

Following is an example of what a survey looks like:

Poll Format

Opinion Stage offers polling formats that allow users to vote on any particular topic and submit their responses quickly, maximizing participation rates. Our polling forms are designed to maximize engagement and participation. The high engagement levels the poll form receives results from the interactive, visual, and mobile-friendly design. In addition, you can make the internet poll form viral in social networks by using built-in social sharing features. We offer formats including opinion poll forms, political poll forms, election poll forms, image poll forms, picture poll forms, video poll forms, and more! 

The online poll maker is designed to make it super easy to quickly get started with the basic features. However, it is also designed for advanced polling needs. For more advanced usage scenarios, the poll creator is packed with advanced features, like automatic poll closing, configuring who can view results, allowing users to suggest their own answers, integrating a lead form, redirecting on vote, and dozens more!

Here is an example:

The poll form app supports several mechanisms to prevent repeat or cheat voting. These include a browser cookie-based mechanism, a device IP-based mechanism, and a mode in which users can only vote using their social profile (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, Google).

Brands and publishers can generate high-quality leads by integrating a lead form inside the item. The lead form is presented after voting and before viewing the result. You can configure that voters can only see the results if they submit their contact information. This method of lead generation results in up to 500% more leads when compared to using static forms. The leads are also highly qualified as the contact info is associated with the vote answer.

Quiz Format

Opinion Stage has the advantage of offering quiz forms as well. Users can answer multiple outcome-based questions to determine several conclusions in a personality quiz. This includes product finders and gift recommendations.

Below is a personality quiz product finder example:

Opinion Stage also offers a trivia quiz, which tests a user’s knowledge on a particular topic. This is great for assessments and contests! You can set a timer for these quizzes and provide explanations per answer.

Here is an example of a trivia quiz:

Look and Feel 

People use Opinion Stage forms as a Microsoft Forms alternative because of the unique interface which results in more submissions.

We also offer the ability to add multiple images to an item, as shown in this poll form:

Customization Options

Opinion Stage offers complete customizations so your items are aligned with your brand and site. You can select from existing themes or use custom CSS to change every design aspect of the item, including color, font, sizes, and more. White labeling is also an option.

Here is an example of an Opinion Stage customer that has branded the form:

Integrations

Opinion Stage is a great Microsoft Forms alternative as it supports a multitude of integrations that are lacking in Microsoft Forms. Below are some highlighted examples.

Lead Generation

Opinion Stage users have the ability to use custom webhooks to send data to 3rd party applications directly or via Zapier. We offer Native integrations (such as Mailchimp and Hubspot) as well as Zapier.com and Webhook integrations, and an API. This allows you to fully integrate your Opinion Stage lead generation campaigns with your existing marketing stack.

Pixel Tracking

You can set the pixel to fire up based on the step or question that a user reaches, for example upon quiz/survey completion.

You can send all events that occur in your items to your own Google tag manager to trigger actions accordingly. 

For example, you can fire different pixels based on form responses and use those pixels to run various re-marketing campaigns per user segment.

CMS Integrations

You can share and add items to any content management system or HTML web page. We offer an acclaimed WordPress plugin that lets you easily add your items to a WordPress site. You can embed an item directly into a single post or page, or you may want to add an item to all pages on the site. In case you do not own a website, you can run the web forms from an optimized landing page on the Opinion Stage site.

Summary

Brands, publishers, educators, and eCommerce merchants are selecting Opinion Stage as the best online form builder based on its unique feature set, look & feel, and customizable capabilities.
