Mission Foods’ “Snack Showdown” Vote-to-Enter Contest

The Super Bowl is a huge day for snack sales. Mission Foods created a fun campaign where folks vote for their favorite snacks to munch on during the big game. Each week, Mission Foods releases two new snacks for people to vote on. After voting, folks have the chance to win that week’s prize, and they’re entered to win the grand prize for the ultimate game watcher: a big screen TV, two recliners, a one-year game-watching TV package and game-watching groceries for a year. This campaign serves both as a lead generation campaign and a way to share recipes that include Mission Foods products.

Create a Vote-To-Enter contest

IDEA: Use time-based visibility settings to show and hide content each week.

What to do with your leads: Send entrants an autoresponder with the recipes for that week’s snacks. Highlight your products within the email, along with a link to information on where to buy them.

Pet Valu’s “Celebrate Pet Parenthood” Winter Sweepstakes

Our fur babies are near and dear to our hearts. Pet Valu created a simple giveaway to celebrate pet parenthood. Folks simply submit the form to be entered to win one of five $100 Pet Valu gift cards. Entrants are invited to come back in 24 hours and submit again to increase their chances of winning. This lead generation campaign fits Pet Valu well, as it focuses on their target market, and it builds on the success of the campaigns they ran during the holiday season by continuing to engage their audience.
