Here are four: Filtering entries by the correct answer, Announcement, and Contacting the winner. Facebook has strict rules about giveaways, so follow them to avoid getting into trouble. Also, make sure you provide a way for participants to comment more about the giveaway. In this way, you can build a relationship with your customers.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Comment_picker\"><\/span>Comment picker<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re planning to run a Facebook giveaway, a free comment picker can be a great way to choose the winner. This tool lets you select a winner based on the number of likes and comments on each post. However, it is important to note that the comment picker works only with Facebook business pages and not personal profiles. The Facebook comment picker for groups can be used on public or private Facebook groups.<\/p>\n<p>To use the Comment Picker, you must be logged in to Facebook, and select the giveaway post. You can then pick as many winners as you want, or use one tool to pick all the comments on a single post. However, this method can be time consuming. Using the Comment Picker will help you avoid these problems. You can set it to automatically choose a winner based on the number of likes and comments on a particular post, and you can even limit the number of comments a user can leave for your giveaway.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Filtering_entries_by_correct_answer\"><\/span>Filtering entries by correct answer<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can filter entries on Facebook giveaways by correct answer if your contest asks for a specific word or answer. This way, you will eliminate entries from multiple users. This option is available in the contest settings. You can filter entries for multiple winners by selecting the &#8220;exclude users&#8221; option. To avoid double-entry, you must enter a user&#8217;s name as it appears on their Facebook profile.<\/p>\n<p>You can also set up a survey or poll to choose the correct answer. You can also use this method to promote new products and use up product stock. Using RafflePress to create Facebook giveaways is simple. Simply upload a photo of your product and ask your audience to answer it. Once you have the correct answer, click &#8220;Confirm Entry&#8221; and choose &#8220;Allowed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Announcement\"><\/span>Announcement<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>After you have conducted a Facebook giveaway, the next step is to select the winners. Generally, the winners are chosen randomly. Afterward, they must respond to the announcement within three to seven days. This way, you will not only notify the winners on Facebook, but also let them know via email that they have won. Make sure you follow the rules and guidelines of Facebook to avoid any problems. This is particularly important if you have a number of giveaways going on at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>To ensure that the winning candidate meets the contest rules, you can verify the email address of the winner. Aside from checking email addresses, you can also make use of the Facebook business manager to send a personalized email to the winner. This way, you can quickly weed out unqualified entrants. Moreover, it will keep your Facebook giveaway page active, as you can send notifications to entrants who did not win. Lastly, Facebook contests are easy to run and are a great way to build a fan base.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Contacting_entrants\"><\/span>Contacting entrants<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You have decided to organize a Facebook giveaway, but now you need to pick a winner! The problem with this is that Facebook has strict rules regarding giveaways. In order to run a successful Facebook giveaway, you need to promote it through different channels, including your website, Facebook page, YouTube video, and email. The more people you can reach out to, the better. Here are some tips to help you run a successful Facebook giveaway:<\/p>\n<p>Before contacting the winners, make sure you check the contest rules. You may have included a photo requirement, so make sure that the rules are clearly stated. If the rules were unclear, contact the original winner by email to explain the contest. Remember to follow the rules and guidelines set by Facebook. When you contact the winners, avoid using stuffy language and avoid sending out mass emails. Instead, you should write a short email explaining your decision.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe width=\"468\" height=\"262\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OZ36cvZeXVo\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Do You Pick a Winner on Facebook Giveaway?
