Sports Dollar does Contests: Pt. 5

Posted 8/29/08

Part 5 - And some “Updates”!

Now that your contest has been running for a while, you’ve probably noticed that participation has dropped off significantly since those initial few days.  You shouldn’t be that surprised, I mean we all have the attention spam of a 2 year old don’t we?

At this point, it’s time to start re-hyping this beast of a contest.  How can you do that?

1.    Add some prizes!  Prizes are a sure bet to re-generate some buzz.
2.    Add bonus entries!  Give the contestants a chance to pop in a few more entries by taking on a new task.
3.    Entrecard again!  Look to an Entrecard crowd that you have rarely dropped on in the past.  Some of the smaller users should eat up your contest, but they have to know about it.
4.    Send an email!  Hopefully you have been asking for email subscriptions and have built yourself a nice little list.  Shoot everyone an email to remind them of updates to the contest!

If you are just short of your goal, this is your last chance to really make an impression on new contestants, so make it worthwhile.

Missing anything?  Part 1, 2, 3, and 4 are available.
