If you know anything about Flying Bison Baseball, it’s that we love stickers. We’ve had more than a dozen sticker designs since we announced our team name back in 2023. Since then, we’ve been proud customers of Sticker Mule, where we order 75% of our stickers.
You might already know that Sticker Mule is THE place to get the best waterproof and heatproof stickers around, but did you also know that they launched a platform where you can host promotional giveaways for your customers? In addition to being big fans of stickers, the Flying Bison are also big fans of giveaways, so let us tell you all about this new feature from our friends at Sticker Mule.
Make promotional giveaways easier with Sticker Mule
Before we dive into the details, first it’s good to answer the question, “why should I do a giveaway?” Hosting promotional giveaways can help you do the following:
- Gain referrals
- Engage customers/fans
- Reward loyal customers/fans
- Notify customers/fans of a new product
- Grow your contact list
The Flying Bison have done giveaways for all the above reasons, and are always happy with the results. But one thing that can be challenging is organizing the promotion and ensuring that the recipients receive their product in a timely manner. That’s where Sticker Mule comes in.
How to use Sticker Mule’s promotional giveaway platform
Here’s how Sticker Mule makes promotional giveaways easier. All you have to do is follow these easy steps:
1. Choose the product you want to give away. It has to be a product you ordered from Sticker Mule in the past, or something already available on their marketplace. For example, here’s an example of what the Flying Bison could use in a giveaway based on our recent orders:
If you haven’t ordered from Sticker Mule yet or want to give your followers more variety to choose from, the marketplace includes hundreds of product options from thousands of stores on Sticker Mule!
2. Fine tune the details. Decide the following:
- How people will enter the promotional giveaway
- The duration of the giveaway
- How many winners there will be
- How the winners will be chosen
There are two ways to enter, either providing your email address, or engaging on X. (So yes, you’d have to have an X account.)
Choose between 24, 48, 72, 96, or 120 hours for the duration of your giveaway.
As for deciding the winners, here’s a tip from the Flying Bison: if this is your first giveaway, choose a few winners! It will encourage more people to enter because they have a better chance of winning. More winners will generate better engagement, better engagement leads to more active customers/fans.
There are two options for choosing winners. One is raffle style where a fixed number of random winners will be chosen. The other is by setting a limit on the number of entrants, and each entrant wins. (For example, if you choose 5 entrants, 5 people will win.)
3. Share that link! Now that you crossed your t’s and dotted your i’s, it’s time to spread the word about your giveaway. Don’t forget – the more times you share the giveaway, the more people will see it.
4. Sticker Mule handles the rest. Worried about getting your prize shipped out to the winner(s)? Don’t be, because Sticker Mule has it covered. They’ll automatically ship out the giveaway(s) once your promotion ends.
Sticker Mule’s promotional giveaway platform makes rewarding your fans easier than ever. You’ve got enough on your plate, so why don’t you let the experts handle it? Visit StickerMule.com/Give to get started on your first giveaway.
