Frequently Asked Questions
How can a sweepstakes help me achieve my marketing goals?
Create awareness across owned and earned media channels
Digital promotions such as sweepstakes are a powerful tool that allow you to engage with your target audience and increase omnichannel brand awareness. By incentivizing widespread participating through prizing, you can expose your brand and products to a broad consumer segment, driving engagement and interaction.

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.

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.
