How to create a registration contest

(Last Updated 4/2/21)

One of PromoTix's most powerful marketing tools is Registration Contests. With this tool, you can create "gamified" contests, notify your potential attendees as soon as your tickets go on sale, and capture thousands of points of data to amplify your marketing efforts.

1. Setup your organizer profile page

Before creating a registration contest, if you would like to have your contest participants "like" or "follow" your different social media pages in order to earn points, you will first need to setup your organizer profile page and add all of your social media links.

Please see here for instructions on how to setup your organizer profile page: https://blog.promotix.com/help-center-organizers/how-to-setup-your-organizer-profile

Once you're done, move onto Step 2.

  • A 👉 Select the date that you would like your contest to end (your contest will start running as soon as it's published)
  • B 👉 Select the time that you would like your contest to end.
  • C 👉 To send out an email blast once your contest is over, select one of the options in the dropdown menu. For example, if your tickets are not on-sale yet, you can send all of your contest registrants an email blast as soon as your tickets go on-sale to maximize sales.

Once you're done, click on the "Save & Continue" button.
