Successful Contests and the Optimal Price Rate
In 2019, the girl scouts association of
western new York run a contest that
attracted the girls to participate. Before
this, they issued a survey that engaged
2000 people from around western new
York using Wufoo forms.
With a target of not more than 5,000
people, which is approximately 0.006
dollars per entry. This resonates with the
starter park that many organization use
for surveys, contests and internal tasks.
As stated earlier, the started park costs
However, this is also very suitable for the
information one requires as it was
basically form entries for the task.

Leica Camera Inc organized a social
media contest for from Dec 16, 2020 at
9:00am ET to January 4, 2020 at
11:59pm ET. Individuals were required to
upload an image of themselves onto a
Wufoo form, after following Leica
Camera USA and Aether Apparel’s
Instagram page.
Contestants were then required to share
the Wufoo form on Instagram for further
reach with a #LeicaXAether. After which
all contestant must allow to receive
emails from the company.
Due to the lengthy process, it’s expected
that the contest targeted 5,000 people.
Since the number of entries is similar to
the girl scouts association of western
newyork. The professional package falls
within this contest usage capacity.
Optimal Price Rate
With barely any direct contest that
collected money found, looking at the
cost of running this contest for a period
of 3 months is good enough timing to
gather enough pilots interested in the
plane. If each is charged $100 USD which
is affordable for most, and about 5,000
responses are collected. The contest will
obtain close to $500,000. Comparing this
with the Maina project of winning a
Restaurant with winning a plane which is
very unusual or unheard of, it’s likely to
gain good media coverage and boost its
awareness reach. Why $100 USD is
optimal, is because, the prize to be taken
is presumed worthy. Depending on
which approach is going to be utilized to
select the winner and enable them take
the prize.
Considering the target market, it will be
psychologically painful to put $100 USD
to win a plane but the money is worthy
the risk
Where to post movies, photos and articles.
Wufoo forms has a file upload
field, this field enables clients or
registrants to upload any
document, image or video.
However, the field has 22 MB
Allows for creating options to
upload size limit for all
upload pics/videos/documents
files(documents,
photos
&
for registrants
videos). In search instances,
integrating another system like
Google drive or Drop box to save
videos would be preferable and
would cut the hustle of having to
do it on Wufoo forms. This way,
you are able to get this
information and review what
your clients have entered so you
can choose a winner.
Considering that Wufoo is a survey and form creating platform, it is expensive to have heavy documents above 22 MBs on Wufoo
forms also considering it size limitations. Thus, uploading smaller sized files is possible but pictures, videos and documents above
22 MBs are an impossibility. Using Google Drive link(s) or a Specific Drop box link(s) is acceptable as they integrate with Wufoo.
To obtain links from the registrants would be a better option and approach to get information so that the best are selected and
where it’s otherwise needed for other purposes, reviewed accordingly and store the final reports. However, wufoo’s add ons or
integrations do play a key role in enhancing these needs you require to run a campaign successfully.

it can be done
Key Integration Applications
The App and website integrates fully well with the above platforms and 2,293 other apps, websites and software
making it one of the best and most suitable platforms. It’s premised on the fact that it can accommodate many
others that makes it easily useable, functional and purposeful for any campaign internally, externally, local or global.
These add-ons guarantee enhance interdependence and reducing the flaws of using only one platform.
The need to upload videos is effed by Google drive & Drop box, the need to access payments is effed by Paypal &
other payment processing systems, the need for online contract signatures is effed by DocuSign.
These combined advantages considering the flaws of each system make Wufoo forms a very desirable system to use
when running any campaign as they are easy to use, accessible and depend on other systems where necessary.
Social Media Campaigns
Wufoo forms do integrate well with
social media platforms like Facebook.
Here is a link of the app integration that
enhances boosting awareness of any
contest or survey an entity runs.
The tech giant attracts an average of
200 million people a year that spend an
average of time of 37 minutes, 26
minutes on Snap chat and 29 minutes
on Instagram in the USA.
To sale 10,000 contest entries, the
pages need to reach an average of 1
million people in the 3 months. Either
through Facebook marketing, Twitter
handles, and Instagram shares. To
reach 1 million people in 100 days
means 1,000 people every day through
a
comprehensive
social
media
marketing plan. Or a simple promotion
that gets people talking which enhances
word of mouth marketing because of
the type of prize and the requirements.
With $2 - $4 a day, that is achievable.
Widespread publicity in North America
Wide spread publicity means using
public relations or unique marketing
videos to build awareness about the
same.
To reach 10,000 registrants, a month is
just enough for this approach as this
moves faster and the fear of missing
out marketing approach makes people
fill in the forms faster.
Depending on which medium is used,
from newspaper, radio shows, TV
adverts or other unique PR approaches.
The media outlets can do remarkable
delivery on the same as long as they
pocket some good dollars and it may
even attract some sponsors or partners
in kind depending on the period and
the benefits.
In a period of one month, the campaign
can close but prior accurate preparation
is needed because bad campaigns are
always public failures unlike social
media which is a work in progress.
Optimal SEO marketing
SEO marketing hinges on keywords, great
website outlook and continuously
optimizing content to build a huge traffic
base. The beauty about this approach is
the longevity it brings for any business,
site or company.
Attracting 1 million people to your site
means at least half will stick and continue
to access your content in the future.
The challenge of SEO marketing is the
period, it requires an average of 4 to 6
months to build an army base of good
followers. Unless Sea Wind will start with
this now and later use the contest to
further boost this traffic, it’s a little bit
long compared to the two approaches.
However, this is dependent on the prize of
the contest, price required and their rate
of access to the forms. It’s logical to begin
by driving traffic to your site, then after
this growth has started to spike, Sea Wind
runs a contest that lasts for 30 days. It will
likely quadruple the output unlike just
running the contest with no followers.
