A good social media contest can help you get more fans and followers, more traffic to your website, and more engagement. But the best part of all is that it takes minimal effort to set up and you can get your social media contest up and running in a matter of minutes. Here are some of the best tried-and-tested social media contest apps:
Wishpond
Wishpond is a big favorite when it comes to social media contest apps. Not only is it easy to set up, but it also works with several different major social networks (Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest…).
Votigo
Votigo is both a social media management tool as well as a tool for creating contests and sweepstakes. Votigo can help create promotions for most popular social networks (Facebook, Twitter and Vine, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest), as well as web and mobile promotions.
Woobox
Woobox have a great array of very useful social media apps – my personal favorite being the Quizzes app, that allows you to create quizzes with custom results for your participants. When it comes to promotional apps, they have several great ones to choose from, such as sweepstakes, photo and video contests, and Pin to Win for Pinterest.
SocialAppsHQ
SocialAppsHQ have an amazing collection of both free and paid apps for Twitter and Facebook. They have all kinds of tabs you can think of, starting with contest tabs (such as video contest, sweepstakes and even an essay contest tab) and ending with…well, more types of tabs that you can think of.
Strutta
Strutta is a really good app, although it doesn’t work on as many social platforms as some of the other tools in the list. It can be used for running contests and sweepstakes across Facebook, Instagram, microsites and iframes.
Offerpop
Offerpop have loads of cool contest apps, although most of them are for Facebook. However there are some other interesting apps for Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram that are definitely worth checking out.
Shortstack
Shortstack allows you to build the perfect social media campaign, whether you want a contest, a promotion of some kind, or a sweepstakes. One cool feature is that you can embed your campaign anywhere – website, blog or wherever else you want to, so as to reach as many people as possible. And even better, you can get started on your first campaign for free.
Heyo
Heyo allows you to create promotions and contests by using one of their best templates, or you can take back creative control and create the perfect promotion for you and your business.
