Set up a Contest with Your UGC

Emplifi UGC contest campaigns are a great way to engage your customers! Here is a list of reasons why many brands choose to host contests:

• Increase UGC submissions.

• Build up brand awareness.

• Celebrate the community.

• Increase your follower count.

• Promote new product launches.

Launch your own contest by following these simple steps: 

1. From your Albums Dashboard, create an album in which you plan on linking to your contest display.

2. Upon creating the album, feel free to enable voting if this is an element you want added to your contest.

3. You’ll need to have an approved piece of content in this album, we’d recommend to have some example content with the permissions that reflect your contest the best.

4. From your Publish Center, select a channel of your choice and create a display.

5. Connect the album created for the contest.

6. Customize the display .

7. Save, generated the embed code, and have it pasted to your site (this may vary depending on your channel).

8. Promote your contest through various outlets such as social media, email blasts, etc.

9. With time, your album will accumulate content from your brand’s community. Feel free to update your album by approving content you want displayed.

10. When the contest is over, you can:

    • Remove the display entirely from your website.

    • Remove the “Add your Photo” button(s) from your display to disable additional entries - this can be found within your theme’s design editor under the “Header” customization.
