- The participant must repost your giveaway on their story or profile
- The participant must comment on the giveaway post
And sometimes tag a specific number of friends in the comment.
Most giveaways cost very little. The prize does not need to be elaborate, but juicy enough that your followers will take interest. It is their enthusiasm that will generate new followers. Of course, some of these followers might unfollow once the competition is over. But usually the majority will stay.
The result is you gain more followers while also attracting potential new customers already interested in what you business has to offer. If your giveaway showcases the best of your product or service line, a potential new follower might click on your website to explore more details.
