Now that you’ve finished your contest, you’re ready for the hard part: picking a winner. This article will go through each of Heyo’s contest templates and how to pick a winner from each of them.
Note: All of these contests use the CSV file to select a winner. To get your CSV, follow these instructions:
For more information on how to download the CSV, click here.
Lucky for you, you don’t have to worry about going through every photo or video and choosing your favorite, since this is a voting contest. All you need to do is download your CSV to see who has the most votes so far.
Next, let’s look at the refer-a-friend contest. This one is very similar to the photo and video contests, but instead of the fans voting for their favorites, the contest entrants share their link, and whoever has the most clicks wins. Pretty simple contest! This one is exactly the same as the photo and video contests as far as how to get your winner. Just download your CSV in your Heyo dashboard. After you do this, you’ll need to sort it by clicks. Here, you’ll see your entrants information, as well as the number of clicks they have. You’ll just need to pick your winner based on the clicks.
So, your sweepstakes is finished; how do you find out who the winner is? The first thing to note about Sweepstakes is that it’s the only contest that Heyo has a Pick a Winner function for.
All you need to do is click on the arrow next to the “Edit” button on your campaign, and choose the “Pick a Winner” option.
Once you click that button, a popup will come up with the name and email address of your winner. The winner is completely randomly generated. From here, you can notify the winner, or pick a different winner.
And there you have it! Once you’ve selected the winner, email them and congratulate them on winning your contest!
