What Is a Giveaway?
A Giveaway in ReviewStream is a promotional incentive offered to customers in exchange for providing their review on your product or service. Giveaways are a powerful way to increase review volume by offering something valuable—like a gift card, discount, or prize—after the customer completes your review flow.
ReviewStream makes it easy to manage, track, and fulfill these offers while staying compliant with platform rules and guidelines.
🎁 What Can Be a Giveaway?
You can offer a wide range of incentives, such as:
- Digital gift cards (e.g., Amazon, Starbucks, Visa)
- Coupons or discount codes for future purchases
- Free samples or bonus products
- Entry into a sweepstakes or prize drawing
Tip: Choose a giveaway that aligns with your audience’s interests and is valuable enough to motivate action.
🔐 How Giveaways Work
Here’s how the giveaway system typically functions:
- You create a Giveaway tied to a specific survey or campaign.
- Customers are asked to leave a review on your chosen platform (e.g., Amazon, Google, Etsy).
- After completing the review and meeting the requirements, the customer is presented with the Giveaway offer.
- ReviewStream tracks entries and helps manage fulfillment securely.
Giveaways are only triggered when the customer completes all required steps (e.g., leaves a review, uploads proof, meets star-rating minimum, etc.).
✅ Requirements and Validation
Each Giveaway is tied to the Item and Platform rules you've configured. You can enforce things like:
- Minimum star rating
- Proof of review (screenshot, link)
- Order number validation
- One entry per order or user
This ensures you're only rewarding legitimate participants and discourages abuse.
