The Votigo Platform was designed and built by an experienced team of social media promotions professionals. Votigo has been a Facebook Preferred Developer Consultant since March, 2010, and has launched major cross-channel promotions for numerous Fortune 500 brands from our platform. We are known among our clients for our expertise in the complexities of running social media promotions; the ease of using our self-service platform; the privacy and security of the data and content your promotion generates from users; and the essential features and functionality that enable successful promotions.

Contests draw a winner based on merit or skill (the funniest video, the best photo,etc.) , whereas sweepstakes draw a winner based on luck and are random in nature. Contests are a great way to engage your audience and can even provide material for future marketing materials. Sweepstakes, on the other hand, are easier to enter and therefore typically receive more entries but generally have less engagement.

You have the choice of either letting votes determine the winner or selecting a winner yourself based on your own criteria. This option is chosen under the "Rounds" tab when you create your contest. Once your promotion has ended, you can download your data by logging into your account. For contests, you can select your favorite entry, or if you've opted to have votes choose the winner, you can sort by the number of votes and find which entrant has the greatest number. For sweepstakes, randomly select an entrant from your list of participants. Once you've selected a winner, verify that they meet your criteria and contact them directly.

You can choose to allow as many winners as you'd like. Simply state your criteria for winning entries in your rules.

Not much! Our easy-to-use interface walks you through the design and launch of your promotion in five easy steps (four for a sweepstakes).
