How Contest Entry Points Work
Adding entry points to your contest is how you add incentive for your contestants to enter multiple times!
“The more points you assign to an entry method the higher the priority that entry method becomes when contestants are choosing how to enter your contest.”
In the image below you can see that gaining newsletter subscribers and Instagram followers was the highest priority for the contest holder. Share entry was also given top points due to it’s strength as a promotional tool. In fact we recommend adding the viral share entry method into all of your contests.
The more contest entry points a contestant gains, the better their odds of winning. Think about entry points being similar to lotto tickets, the more you have the better your odds of winning.
You’ll see the option to add points to each entry method when you’re editing your contest.
