Happy Holidays!
It’s Jennifer and Kathryn here, your Christmas time elves, and we’re so glad you’re interested in being a part of “Your Best Year Yet Giveaway!”
This is an opportunity for you to grow your list and give value to your audience at the same time. Win Win! Please read all the details of participation below, as your participation will indicate acceptance of these requirements.
While we can’t guarantee results, our intention is for the majority of contributors to walk away with several hundred new leads at least. How many opt-ins you get will depend on a number of factors including (a) your promotion (b) the quality and value of your free gift and (c) the package you purchase. We will do our very best to ensure everyone promotes the event as agreed and our goal is have the majority of you walk away with 500-1,500+ new leads. Awesome, right?!
The application process is first-come-first-filled. Please don’t wait to select your package and take care of your nominal contributor fee. If you haven’t done so already you can find the package selection page here: http://bestyearyetgiveaway.com/options
As soon as you make your payment, you’ll be directed to the online application intake form with instructions for submitting your information and materials to us. Don’t fear, you will also receive the application intake form link via an email in case you need a bit of time to get your gift and materials ready.
If you have any questions, please click here to contact Team Elves.
Cheers,
Jennifer & Kathryn
GIVEAWAY DETAILS
NOTE: Please feel free to contact our team for any questions about the details, requirements and responsibilities listed below.
Promo Window
The giveaway promo window opens Cyber Monday, November 26 and closes Friday, December 21. Your emails promoting the event must go out during this time frame. November 26 to November 30 is a teaser window to a wait-list.
Giveaway Window
The giveaway officially opens December 1st and closes December 21. We will be doing a special Twelve Days of Christmas email promotion for all those that have opted in, with special solo emails to those contributors who qualify.
How It Works
Visitors opt-in for the giveaway. On December 1st, the giveaway officially opens and they are taken to a page with all contributor giveaway offers. There, they click the “Give Me Access” button for any offers they’re interested in (as in, yours!). That takes them to an opt-in page on YOUR site, where they will complete the opt-in process.
NO Immediate Upsells
During the period the event is live, no upsells to paid programs are allowed. We encourage you to nurture your new list and then, at the right time sometime after the giveaway has ended, make a paid offer.
PARTICIPATION REQUIREMENTS
Contributor Fee
The contributor fee to participate starts at $197. Click this link to pay now and reserve your spot. Your spot is not secure until your application has been submitted and you have paid the contributor fee. We reserve the right to reject your offer if it doesn’t meet our desired goals. If this happens (it’s not anticipated), we will contact you and work with you to choose or craft a different offer so that you can participate. If we are unable to find that together, we’ll refund your contributor fee.
Solo Emails
You must agree to send 3 solo promotional emails for the giveaway between November 26 – December 21. All copy will be provided. (In a few rare exceptions, we can accept emailing only two times. Please contact us if you need to discuss exceptions.) It’s suggested that you email when the giveaway first opens, mid-way through, and towards the last few days.
YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
Put Together a Enticing and Valuable Giveaway GIFT!
The more exciting the things we all give away collectively, the bigger the buzz and the greater the crowd this giveaway attracts. And, of course, the more ideal leads you attract to your list, too! And remember, for THIS giveaway, your gift must in some way help entrepreneurs hit the ground running in 2019 with the new edge you’ve provided them.
Fill Out Your Application ASAP and Provide All Materials Requested
As soon as you submit your contributor fee, you’ll receive an email with a link to the application page and other instructions. Your application must be submitted no later than October 10th, or you run the risk of not having your giveaway up on the site on opening day.
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: When you complete your application and submit all necessary materials no later than the first due date of Wednesday October 10th, we’ll put your name in a contributor drawing for Prezzie #1. (Prezzie is our word for a Present Prize – get it?!)
Create an Opt-In + Thank-You Page on Your Site
Create an opt-in page on your site that describes the benefits of the product or service you’re offering and provides a way to sign up to receive it or to win it in a raffle. You’ll also need to create a thank you page with either a download link or instructions for next steps. These must be complete, uploaded and ready for us to review no later than October 31, 2018. We strongly recommend you add a banner to your opt-in to maintain the look and feel consistency. We will provide you with a banner to include on your page and some boilerplate language for the very bottom of the page. You can read more about your Opt-in Page Requirements here.
Email Your List + Post on Social Media
As discussed in the requirements section, you must send a solo email about the giveaway to your list 3 times between November 26 to December 21, 2018, as well as post on your social media channels. This is what makes a collaborative effort like this create success for everyone. We will provide all promotional copy, social media posts and images. And we ask that you forward to our team the emails you send, as we track all promotions for the event.
Collect + Provide Us with Names of Winners
As an extra way to gain some traffic, you may ALSO chose to announce a raffle prize for those that opt-in for you gift. For any extra gifts you are raffling off, you will choose your winners the first week in January. YOU will contact the winners and then provide full names to US. You may need to ask them for their last name. We need FULL NAMES (first and last) by January 7, 2019. We will publish the winners on the giveaway site.
