Picking Daily and Weekly Winners

By picking winning entries, either daily or weekly, it is possible to extend the life of and drive repeat traffic to your campaign. The best practices for selecting daily or weekly winners will be different depending on the type of campaign you are running and the goals you wish to achieve with your campaign. Campaigns running for multiple days would benefit from daily winner selection, this will encourage you and your influencers’ audience to stay active in the campaign and any changes made while the campaign is live will be automatically updated across all landing pages. Campaigns offering unique codes for discounts or promotions will benefit most campaigns which run weekly on a set and consistent day.
