Run contests with ease using KickoffLabs Pick a Winner feature. Select a winner at complete random or weigh the contest results by referral activity and engagement!
Easily select how many winners to draw, the minimum score required, and whether or not to weigh the results. The entire drawing process takes just a few clicks from your campaign dashboard.
You choose how the drawing works. A pure random drawing gives every eligible lead an equal chance of winning, regardless of their activity in the contest.
Alternatively, enable weighted selection to reward your most active participants. When weighing is turned on, leads with higher scores get additional entries into the drawing. For example, a lead with 10 points effectively gets 10 entries, dramatically improving their odds compared to someone with just 1 point.
Weighted drawings are ideal for referral contests where you want to incentivize sharing. Participants who refer the most friends earn the highest scores and get the best odds of winning.
Draw between 1 and 1,000 winners in a single drawing. Running a grand prize giveaway? Draw one winner. Running a contest with multiple prize tiers? Draw as many as you need.
Set a minimum score threshold so that only leads who actively participated in your contest are eligible for the drawing. This prevents people who signed up but never shared or took actions from winning over your most engaged participants.
KickoffLabs does not automatically notify winners. When you run a drawing, the results are shown only to you in the dashboard. This gives you time to verify that each winner has complied with your contest rules before you reach out.
You can review their lead profile, check their referral activity, confirm their identity, and then send a personal email to claim their prize. This extra step protects you from awarding prizes to fraudulent entries.
Before running your drawing, review flagged leads in the KickoffLabs fraud protection dashboard. Remove suspicious entries so they cannot win prizes. Our automated fraud filters catch fake email addresses, duplicate entries, and suspicious referral patterns.
KickoffLabs includes a built-in contest rules template that covers eligibility, prize details, and winner notification procedures. Make your rules available to participants before the contest starts so there are no surprises at drawing time.
If your contest has a grand prize, second place, and third place, run separate drawings with different minimum score thresholds. Draw the grand prize first, then exclude that winner from subsequent drawings for the remaining prize tiers.
Choosing the right drawing method depends on the goals of your contest.
You want maximum participation and want every entrant to feel they have a fair shot. Random drawings work well for simple sweepstakes, product launch giveaways, and contests where the primary goal is to collect as many email addresses as possible. Every lead gets one entry regardless of activity.
You want to reward engagement and referral activity. Weighted drawings are perfect for viral referral contests, ambassador programs, and any campaign where sharing is the main objective. Participants see the direct benefit of referring friends because more referrals mean better odds of winning.
Check out interviews with users who have run successful viral marketing campaigns with KickoffLabs.
When you build that initial group of people that are super excited about your (KickoffLabs) campaign, they spread it, and then it becomes viral.
Even with how little we promoted the campaign, somehow it spread like wildfire. KickoffLabs social sharing feature made it easy for lots of other people to do the promotion for us, with 94% of new leads coming in through referrals.
But what was really appealing to me about KickoffLabs is that built in social share feature. None of the other ones at the time had that available.
