Ready to start your prize outreach? Get started with this editable template. Make a copy and customize it to use in your outreach to potential providers. While oriented for local businesses/brands, you can adapt to use for campus outreach.
Reward Ideas
In addition to the Prize Store, where users can ‘cash in’ their points to buy or enter for rewards, you might consider the following options to celebrate users:
“Top X” for Total Points or Invites Score. Reward the top-scoring users to incentivize completing actions and sending invites. Make sure the Members tab is turned on so users can track their own progress on the leaderboard.
“First X” for Signing Up or Specific Actions. Incentivize your community to sign up or complete key actions. Either directly reward the first 10, 50, 100 etc. users who sign up or complete a specific action with a small prize, or enter them into a drawing for a bigger prize.
Overall Grand Prize Raffle Drawing. Automatically enter users who meet certain criteria — like completing all election actions or earning a minimum number of points overall — into a raffle at the end of the election.
Group Prize for Top-Scoring Teams. Reward overall team engagement at the end of the election with a group celebration, event, charitable donation, etc. Use the Team Metrics feature (available via Teams tab) to sort teams by metrics like total points, total members, total invites, and overall progress.
