Ready to host your next giveaway with AI? Let’s get started!

#1 Creative Contest Ideas

Having a unique idea for your giveaway can certainly contribute to the success of your campaign. People love participating in something fresh and exciting, so coming up with an excellent idea for your giveaway is vital. 

We recommend that you browse The VYPER Blog for inspiration when seeking new ideas for your giveaway. There are tons of giveaway case studies and ideas. 

However, if you can’t find what you are looking for and are strapped for time, then ChatGPT can be a great alternative. Ask ChatGPT to supply you with giveaway ideas for your business.

We asked ChatGPT to provide us with giveaway ideas for a music store. The results are impressive. We can develop high-quality campaigns for each of these giveaway ideas.

We like the “Photo Contest with a Twist” giveaway idea. So, we asked ChatGPT to elaborate further. The response is an in-depth explanation of the photo contest giveaway idea. This helps us to understand the concept better.

By reviewing this in-depth response, we can get a clear idea of the campaign to determine if the giveaway will align with our brand identity. This information is merely a guide. You can configure your giveaway to your liking.

Now that you have your giveaway idea, it’s time to plan and set up your campaign. But where do you start? Let’s see if Chat GPT will help.

#2 Setting Up a Giveaway

Before talking to ChatGPT, we had yet to decide what kind of giveaway we should host. After entering a few simple prompts, ChatGPT delivered some unique and impressive giveaway ideas. It also elaborated further on the details of an idea that we liked.

So, what’s next? How do we get started with setting up our giveaway? Well, let’s ask ChatGPT.

We asked ChatGPT, “What would we need to do to get started with this giveaway?” This was the response.

That is an incredible response, for sure! The response is a perfect outline for setting up your giveaway. ChatGPT lists everything from choosing a prize to your giveaway entry method. 

Here is the full list for setting up your giveaway (generate :

1. Define Contest Rules and Objectives
2. Choose the Prize
3. Develop a Promotional Plan
4. Create a Hashtag
5. Set Up a Submission Process
6. Prepare for Judging
7. Launch the Contest
8. Monitor and Engage
9. Announce the Winner
10. Post-Contest Follow-Up
11. Legal Compliance

If you are looking for quick answers to giveaway ideas and setting up your giveaway, then ChatGPT can get you moving instantly. 

#3 Launching a Giveaway

No. 7 (Launch the Contest) on the list above caught our eye. Launching a giveaway isn’t a simple process, and the description that ChatGPT provided was short:

7. Launch the Contest: Kick off your contest with a bang. Announce all your channels. Regularly post reminders and engage with participants throughout the contest period.

So we asked ChatGPT if it could elaborate further and give us an outline for launching our contest. Here are the results:

Again, awe-inspiring results! Especially if you need more time. ChatGPT can undoubtedly help you formulate and plan a giveaway quickly. 

Here is the complete list of ChatGPT’s results on launching your giveaway:

1. Create a Launch Plan
2. Develop Engaging Content
3. Utilize Multiple Channels
4. Engage with Your Audience
5. Leverage Influencers and Partners
6. Initial Boost with Paid Ads
7. Regular Updates and Reminders
8. Track and Adjust

The above serves as a checklist for those looking to get their campaign underway in a short space of time. The result from ChatGPT is more in-depth, with more bullet points and descriptions. 

Looking Into the Launch Plan

The first point on the list (Create a Launch Plan) is excellent. ChatGPT does provide a short description of a launch plan. But what if we asked it to expand on this further?

Here are the results:

We love the structure of this launch plan, which includes:

1. Define objectives and KPI
2. Timeline planning 
3. Content creation
4. Platform strategy
5. Engagement plan
6. Team coordination
7. Contingency planning

Another excellent in-depth result from ChatGPT. The information on creating a launch plan is concise, making it straightforward to plan and launch your campaign. 

If you are new to the world of KPI, ask ChatGPT to provide a clear definition. This will improve your understanding of the objectives you set for your giveaway. We won’t go further into that for now, as we are done asking ChatGPT to expand on their answers. 

Let’s take a look at more ways to use ChatGPT to enhance your giveaway…

#4 Generate Prize Descriptions that Sizzle

Your giveaway copy, from prize description to giveaway rules, is a vital part of the campaign, which can determine the number of people who feel compelled to enter. 

The giveaway prize will indeed speak for itself. People are generally drawn to prizes they find valuable. However, writing an excellent description for the prize can certainly motivate more people to enter and erase doubts in people still deciding to enter. 

Writing compelling copy is time-consuming, which is why ChatGPT has become so popular in this regard. Simply ask ChatGPT to write your copy for you or ask it to write a compelling product description for your prize. 

Fortnite Giveaway Prize Description

We revisited an old demo giveaway we created. A Fortnite Giveaway with a PS5 as the prize. Take a look at the prize and its description below:

We asked ChatGPT if it could write a better description for us. The results were great!

We copied the text in its entirety and inserted it into the PS5 prize description. This is what the prize section of the giveaway looks like:

The prize description now has a tangible copy that features actual specs that people will find enticing. “4K Graphics” and “Ray Tracing” are excellent terms to describe the machine’s specifications. Terms that were missing from the original description.

Here’s an extended look at what the Fortnite giveaway looks like with the giveaway landing page included:

Try using ChatGPT to help you write your copy when setting up your giveaway. It can also be a handy tool offering inspiration for your writing—an ideal scenario for brands with strict brand identity guidelines.

#5 Personalize the Entry Process

The giveaway prize and the entry process are the two most crucial aspects of the campaign. The prize will draw your audience, and the entry process will capture them (as leads) to your campaign.

There are instances when people fail to follow through on their entry. The entry process might seem complicated and unavoidable as it is necessary to achieve your goals. A chatbot can be just the thing to fix a complicated entry process!

It is possible to use the ChatGPT API to create a intelligent and resourceful chatbot. You can also use one of the many ChatGPT models to create a chatbot. We asked the “Gemini” model if it could be used to create a chatbot.

The answer can be found in the image below:

Botpress is an excellent open-source platform for creating chatbots. You can use Botpress to create your own chatbot to help people with the giveaway entry process.

Now you can present your chatbot to people interested in your giveaway. Allow people to enter your giveaway, visit your website, or speak to a chatbot. 

Erasing Uncertainty

Chatbots can help fill giveaway entrants in on specific details better understood when chatting with someone. For example, if your giveaway has bonus actions, a chatbot can better explain the procedure for completing bonus actions and earning points to your audience. 

ChatGPT also excels at generating unique and tailored prompts. So, instead of supplying generic answers, ChatGPT can produce interactive quizzes that adapt to each participant’s responses, making them feel like the protagonist of their own story.

You can go further by offering personalized story prompts based on demographics or interests, allowing users to weave their own narratives into the campaign. This makes it possible to host contests that appeal to a broader audience because the questions can be tailored on the fly by ChatGPT.
