Small business training video How do I use CliquePrize® to run giveaways?
CliquePrize® is here to walk you through the app step by step with our new training video. Each feature is carefully detailed so that you can use its powerful targeting and lead capture capabilities.
Why CliquePrize®
Small businesses can only grow organically (word of mouth) or through marketing. Without either or both, they run out of cash.
We understand your need to grow. Obtaining repeat, loyal customers starts with a marketing list of email addresses and SMS text messaging contacts. This can all be possible with targeted marketing through digital promotions — such as Giveaways (Sweepstakes), Contests, Events, Raffles & Instant Win. By giving away a prize, you can learn a lot about your customers and prospects. Data is king. Once you have it, we can help you use it to make offers and increase sales. CliquePrize® is here to guide you to growth.

Security of Online Forms
Hosting a promotion on your own website has its risks as well. Most small businesses websites can get easily hacked. Since CliquePrize® is hosted by Azure, our promotions are nearly 100% secure. Contestant's personal data is at risk otherwise.
Convenience Equals More Entries
Is there an easy way to capture leads? Yes. CliquePrize® is here to help you offer the quickest and easiest way for Contestants to enter. One click and the Contestant is in. There's no need for Contestants to fill out long online forms and its all accessible from an iPhone. This means less friction and more entries per promotion.
Location Matters
Yes your location matters but so does the location of your customers. If you run a promotion and anyone can enter from outside the local area, you are essentially wasting time and resources. CliquePrize® is local by design. We do our best to ensure every Contestant is vetted and local. We map each market to the nearest metro area within a 30 mile radius.

Local Metro Market Leads Is The Key To Small Business Growth
Like, follow, mention and share campaigns won't scale your small business. Why? Because there's no lead capture and even if you did capture those leads, they could very likely be from outside your local area. Your repeat customers are local. Build a digital marketing list (email & mobile) with lead capture from local giveaways using CliquePrize!
)
Metro Markets How much do metro markets cost and how do they work?
You automatically get 1 metro market for every giveaway you run on CliquePrize®.
With each giveaway, Sponsors automatically reach their base metro market based on their primary US office zip code.
How much does it cost to add more?
Coming in June 2023!
As a Sponsor, soon you will be able to purchase up to 20 additional metro markets on CliquePrize® at $49/market through the App Store starting in April 2023. Beyond 20 metro markets, CliquePrize will also offer US National Promotions (all markets in every state) for Plans B & C. Private promotions (Plan A) do not offer Metro Markets as they are unlocked using an invite code from the Sponsor.
For now, you can target your own metro market in 20 US states + DC on our mobile app: TTN, TX, FL, CA, NY, NJ, PA, DE, NH, RI, VT, MA, CT, ME, NC, SC, GA, HI, MD, VA and Washington DC.
How are metro markets determined?
Metro markets are determined by CliquePrize® based on the most populated cities (US Population) for each state. Metro markets target and match Contestants based on 60-90 miles (within 1.5 hours) radius from their indicated zip code.
)
Metro Markets We just launched California!
Why are metro markets important?
Because the goal of CliquePrize® is to reach local entrants so that your small business or artist can acquire repeat customers or fans. Beyond 20 metro markets, CliquePrize® will offer National Promotions (all markets in every state) for Plans B & C in June 2023.
Which US states are live?
There are 20 US states + DC currently live on our mobile app: TN, TX, FL, CA, NY, NJ, PA, DE, NH, RI, VT, MA, CT, ME, NC, SC, GA, HI, MD, VA and Washington DC. The rest of the US will live by end of 2023.
Local Lead Generation Capture leads with CliquePrize® giveaways
CliquePrize® is local for a reason. Social media might help with initial awareness but rarely converts any leads. Lets work together to grow your small business with the right giveaway and capture the leads that will turn into repeat customers.

How It Works 7 Steps to Generating Qualified Local Leads
- 1
Create a Sponsor Account
Create a Sponsor account and get verified as a small business which includes a FREE Bullseye! business listing.
- 2
Pick A Prize Giveaway
As a Sponsor, you are responsible to giveaway and fulfill a prize to the winner when you host a Giveaway (Sweepstakes). For example, a FREE Offer for TWO! Think of something your customers would want to win from you. The better the prize, the more Entrants you'll receive.
- 3
Purchase a Base Package Upfront
Pick a base package from our Platinum Coin Giveaway (Sweepstakes) series such as one-time Private (invite-only), one-time Public or recurring monthly Subscription (either Private or Public) plans.
- 4
Create A Promotion & Upload Your Assets
Upload your assets (logo & background) or use one of our 45+ templates across all of our Small Business categories such as Bars & Restaurants, Salons, Karate schools, Kennels, Lawncare and many more!
- 5
Summarize the Prize, the Rules & the Terms
Upload your own Giveaway (Sweepstakes) Summary, Rules and Privacy/Terms or use ours. You can even edit ours to customize them to your liking. Be transparent about what the prize is, the start and end date and how you plan to use the Entrants information for marketing.
- 6
Host A Public or Private Promotion
Based on the Coin Package you purchased, you are now ready to host a promotion. Public promotions reach everyone in the local metro area. Private promotions are invite-only based on email address. If you already have an email list to notify or wish to print a PDF poster for your store with a custom QR code and 4 digit code, we'll supply it for you free of charge. This way only your own list or customers will enter.
- 7
Post Promotion Next Steps
After your promotion is over, you first must fulfill either the digital (QR code) or physical (sent via a major delivery carrier) prize to the winner. Either way, you can use QR codes to track prize fulfillment. Then, you have the option of buying all the Entrant records starting at $1/record. A target marketing list is essential to any small business. Be sure to always provide a way to opt-out of your marketing.
FAQ's Questions You're Asking
Why is this app called CliquePrize? What does it mean?
What’s the point of running Promotions on CliquePrize? How will this help my business?
Lead generation. Today, its difficult to grow your business the old way – i.e. word of mouth and print ads. We understand your need to giveaway something to create awareness of your business. But more importantly, we understand your need to learn about your customers and their wants/desires. Ideally we'd like to help partner with you to have a digital marketing campaign running at all times.
The best part about CliquePrize is it is local. We only display your promotion based on the nearest Metro area by Zip code. That means your promotion is mostly seen by local Contestants. These are potential customers of your business. Not people from all over the country. Treat them as such. Survey them. Learn as much as you can. Data is king and the more data you collect the more optimal your marketing will be. This will result in lower customer acquisition costs as a result of more efficient Bullseye! Targeting – which in the end will grow your business.
How much does CliquePrize cost me?
To get started, it’s FREE to create a Sponsor Account & Bullseye! Listing. Reserve your username (handle) before other businesses do. So you don’t have to pay anything for a free listing. After you create a Sponsor account and get verified, just simply go to Settings > My Bullseye! Page and complete your Public facing Bullseye! Directory listing. This will at least give potential customers an idea of who you are and what you are selling.
When you are ready, there's a base fee to give away a prize via a promotion.
The base fee is collected upfront through the App Store. Starting at $99 for a one-time Private Giveaway or a one-time Public Giveaway. After the first giveaway, Public Giveaways are $399 each. Monthly subscriptions are $199/month. With Monthly Subscriptions you can run either Public or Private. Its your choice. Once per month.
In addition, if you want Entrant (Contestant) records, you can purchase a data plan (starting at $1/record) times the number of records after your promotion has ended. You will never pay for the same Contestant record twice. This is emailed to you after the Promotion has ended via a link to an .csv file and paid for by Invoice via Stripe.com. Contestant records will only include First Name, Last Name, Email Address, Mobile number, and Zip code. However, if you run a survey you will get survey responses but you will not know which exact Contestant answered which question. You’ll just see the total responses.
What am I (the Sponsor) legally responsible for?
You are legally responsible for paying for the promotion upfront and fulfilling the prize you advertise in your CliquePrize promotion – exactly as is. You are not obligated to buy Contestant data. That is optional. However, you cannot legally bait and switch the Contestant. In other words, you cannot for example offer 2 tickets to a show but give them a pack of gum instead. The only time you can switch the prize advertised is if you are giving away a prize of equal value to the original prize and the Contestant agrees it is a fair swap of prizes. The Contestant can hold you (not CliquePrize) legally liable for not fulfilling the original prize advertised.
The prize value must be under $1000 since CliquePrize does not offer giveaways with public bonds. If the prize is worth over $600, then you must issue a 1099 form to the winner(s) of the prize in the US. The official rules must state the value of the prize as APV (Approximate Retail Value) based on market value at the time. This is US Federal Law.
Can I run a Like, Follow, Mention & Share Campaign as well?
Yes. In fact you should. Its called AMOE (Alternate Method of Entry). If you use social media to drive likes, follows, mentions and shares there's no reason not to continue do so. You can also try mail-in, phone call / text, online entry forms and in-person entry methods. However, those efforts will generally attract Prospects outside the local area and you won't have their email address or mobile number like you could with CliquePrize. You could offer a bonus prize to do both. For example, you could try a giveaway such as Win A FREE (insert your product or service) for TWO (2) using CliquePrize and if you like, follow, mention or share us and tag 3 friends on Social Media, we will add a bonus prize. This way you can cover both bases.
