New to Giveaways?
Our giveaway is an online free gift offer contributed by a group of members of our community. Giveaways are a great way to build you your lists and get visibility. Plus… it’s a lovely way to get some exposure and take part in Grand Giving. This is collaborative visibility and list building in its finest! Everyone participating each contributes an enticing gift with a hot topic related to their service, that has a value to it. The Grand Connection sets up a landing page of all the experts. We all invite our tribes to sign up for thousands of dollars in free gifts. They register and can scroll through a giveaway page with all the gifts. On this page your gift banner and description with a link to your opt in will be there for you to get new leads.
We are looking for thoughtful gifts of value that will support our business community, their family and their friends. The main thing is there needs to be a perceived value. Its best not to be the same freebie lead magnet that you have on your website. Some members have offered coaching sessions of real value (not a sales call). Keep in mind the best gifts are ones that would provide genuine value to your target client and that demonstrates your authority and creates a trusted relationship. It is easier for you if its a gift that is one to many such as a digital product or group course online. Bundling a few related gifts works well.
TIP: If you are adding in a coaching session, best is to offer an immediate consumable download followed by the opportunity to attend a workshop and then signup for the complementary coaching session to qualify leads. Make sure to schedule reminders for the coaching time.
Examples are online course, ebooks, business development coaching, guides, blueprints, checklists, business programs, toolkits, coaching, assessments, success formulas, mini-course, self discovery, trainings, 1:1 sessions, membership, templates, on-demand webinars).
