Why CliquePrize® is The Mobile App for Local Small Business Promotions
Why CliquePrize® is The Mobile App for Local Small Business Promotions
When it comes to promoting a local small business, one of the best strategies is to create a sense of exclusivity and high chances of winning for your Contestants. With CliquePrize® the odds of winning are far greater than national or global contests, which means Contestants are more likely to enter to win.
- Most national promotions or general online giveaways open up to Contestants worldwide, meaning the chances of winning are slim; the data is also useless because its from places far away from your small business
- In contrast, CliquePrize® focuses entirely on local promotions, ensuring that only Contestants who reside within a specific metro market can enter
- This increases the odds of winning for your local Contestants, which in turn captures more leads
This unique advantage is powered by CliquePrize®'s patent-pending technology that integrates Apple Location Services to verify that Contestants are physically located near the Sponsor's local Metro Market.
- This ensures that small businesses can target leads from within a 5-10 mile radius—exactly the local audience that matters most to brick-and-mortar businesses
- Local lead generation through the incentive of free prizes becomes a powerful tool for attracting the right repeat, paying customers
World Class Security You Can Trust
In an age where data privacy is more important than ever, CliquePrize® stands out by providing robust security features that protect both Sponsors and Contestants. While many contest apps and platforms are web-based, CliquePrize® takes a different approach by hosting its app on the Microsoft Azure Cloud. This ensures that user data is protected with state-of-the-art security protocols.
- CliquePrize® also uses a Consent Management Platform (CMP) for mobile banner ads inside the app to comply with California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) regulations since the app is US only
- This means your customers’ privacy is protected, and their data is only used with their consent
- At the moment, CliquePrize® is available in only 22 US states plus Washington, DC, which further helps maintain the platform's focus on local engagement and ensures the compliance of regional privacy laws
Promoting Your Promotions for Free
One of the standout features of CliquePrize® is its automatic social media marketing. When you run a promotion as a Sponsor, the app automatically posts your promotion to all of CliquePrize®'s social media channels—at no additional cost. This free advertising is an invaluable asset for small businesses looking to increase their visibility and attract more leads.
- As CliquePrize® continues to grow in popularity, the app’s social media reach will result in even more eyes on your promotions, leading to higher engagement and more local leads
- This built-in exposure helps small businesses extend their reach without having to invest heavily in marketing or pay for additional advertising services
The Power of Product Mix
Unlike other platforms that limit you to one type of promotion, CliquePrize® offers a comprehensive range of digital promotion products. This diverse array of options allows you to rotate and tailor your promotional strategies to suit your business needs, keeping your marketing efforts fresh and engaging.
The CliquePrize product mix includes:
- Giveaways – Perfect for capturing new Contestants and rewarding loyal ones
- Video Contests – Engage Contestants creatively by inviting them to submit their own content, and let the community rate or vote on the best
- Events – Host a local event for your small business and CliquePrize® will handle the event registration, attendance tracking and the prize selection
- Raffles – Ideal for local charity causes where you can collect the money offline and CliquePrize® will handle the digital ticketing and winner selection
- Text to Instant Win – Great for in-store promotions where Contestants can instantly win a prize by texting a keyword while inside your store or by visiting your store to redeem a prize
- Surveys – Use polls, quizzes, and questionnaires to gather valuable customer feedback, all the while incentivizing responses with a prize
These digital products offer flexibility in how you choose to engage your Contestants to promote your small business and drive foot traffic to your small business.
With CliquePrize®, you have a toolkit for promoting your small business in a way that is relevant and worthwhile to your local customers.
Ease of Use for Contestants
For your Contestants, CliquePrize® is incredibly easy to use, making it accessible to anyone with an iPhone on a major US wireless carrier (AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon). Contestants simply need to verify their mobile number, and with just one click, they can enter up to 5 promotions per day.
- This simplicity reduces the barrier to entry, capturing more leads for your promotions
- The more valuable the prize, the more registrations you will get, which leads to a larger pool of qualified Sales Qualified Leads (SQLs) for your small business
Building Your Local Sales-Qualified Leads Database
At CliquePrize®, we believe that the key to small business growth lies in having a Sales Qualified Leads (SQL) list. It’s a numbers game: the more local data you collect, the more marketing opportunities you have to reach your customers directly through text and email.
- Unlike relying on traditional methods like word of mouth, Google ads or reviews, Facebook promotions, or printed flyers, CliquePrize® helps you build a highly-targeted list of local leads that are already engaged with your brand
- With this database, you can directly market to your audience and encourage foot traffic, reservations, or purchases
When you have a dedicated list of local, interested leads, your chances of converting them into actual sales are much higher compared to broader, non-targeted approaches.
This is the power of database marketing in action, and it’s one of the most efficient ways to grow your small business.
If you're looking for an app that not only helps you promote your small business but also ensures that you engage your local community in a meaningful and secure way, CliquePrize® is the perfect solution. With its high-odds local promotions, built-in social media exposure, diverse product offerings, and commitment to security, CliquePrize® takes the guesswork out of digital marketing and turns it into a powerful tool for your small business's growth.
