  • Pick a giveaway prize

Check-in with Ryan and Matt about what you want to give away and get approval for the giveaway. Some examples of giveaways, high-end swag like sweatshirts, other swag, perhaps discounts on rental, be creative, but in the end, it'll have to be something people actually want.

  • Understand the goal of the giveaway

Think about what you want to achieve with the giveaway, make sure you tailor the giveaway to realistically meet that goal.

  • Set the criteria to enter giveaway

It could just be one criterion or multiple. Here are some examples: Like this post, tag 3 friends, Follow us on IG/FB/etc, Post a photo of gear/swag/etc, Tag Bolt in a photo, use certain hashtag on a post, etc.

  • Set your end date to be in 3 days

Make sure to state when the giveaway will be over and when you'll choose a winner/winners.

  • Be sure to use hashtags for giveaway

Make sure you use industry-specific hashtags and avoid anything that could be potentially generic.
