Frequently Asked Questions
How can a sweepstakes help me achieve my marketing goals?
Create awareness across owned and earned media channels

Collect valuable insights from your core audience
One of the hardest things for any brand to do is collect valuable and insightful data from consumers. A core benefit of sweepstakes is the opportunity to collect this information as a function of the registration and entry process. Sweepstakes participants provide their information per the promotion entry requirements enabling your brand to strengthen your database for future marketing efforts.

How quickly can you launch my sweepstakes?
Depending on the details of your promotion, we can work with you to get your promotion to market in as little as 3-weeks. With our flexible solutions for turnkey, templated promotions and custom builds, our agile approach to sweepstakes management is where we shine. Whether your sweepstakes is a standalone engagement or a part of a larger marketing initiative, we understand that timing is critical.
If you only need support across Promotion Administration services such as legal administration, winner management, and prize fulfillment, we can help you launch in as little as five business days.
What legal requirements do I need to meet for a sweepstakes?
Running a sweepstakes requires careful adherence to federal and state laws to ensure compliance and avoid legal risks. From drafting official rules to navigating bonding and registration requirements, there are many compliance aspects to consider. Having a sweepstakes administrator like Realtime Media means you can be sure these compliance aspects are covered. To learn more about key legal considerations for sweepstakes, you can read even more in our guide here: Navigating the Key Legal Requirements for Sweepstakes.
Can I require a purchase to enter my sweepstakes?
Yes, but careful adherence to “No Purchase Necessary Laws” in your sweepstakes is required to comply with federal and state laws and avoid being classified as an illegal lottery. This blog breaks down the importance of offering an alternate method of entry (AMOE) and how it ensures your promotion remains legal. Explore the full details in our guide: No Purchase Necessary Laws and Your Sweepstakes.
Are your services expensive? How much do you charge?
We offer a range of solutions to fit different budgets, from promotion administration services—focused on legal compliance and prize fulfillment—to social media promotions, to full-scale digital builds. Our pricing is designed to deliver the best value in the marketplace: cost-effective for simple needs, and competitively priced for more complex campaigns.
