Frequently Asked Questions

  • How to create an Advent Calendar for my target audience?

    The commonly available platforms that offer marketing gamification to attract and retain customers are simplistic and non-customizable. With Easypromos you can create online Advent Calendars from a template or with our easy-to-use tools available in our platform. Use the Prize Calendar app to create your own; with its microsite format, you will be able to embed it in your website and share it through your social media and other marketing channels.

  • Yes! Our platform allows you to create and customize online prize calendars without any programming required. The control panel will guide you step by step and you will have a preview of what you are editing at all times.

  • Gamification helps attract online users to brands, and promotions help to increase sales. Moreover, if you manage to set up a long-lasting promotion with several challenges and a classification ranking, you will boost user engagement and brand recognition.

  • Because it creates expectation around Christmas festivity. It also entertains your audience, improves engagement with the brand, and improves sales. Additionally, as the promotion lasts several days or weeks, the user’s attention is held for longer than with a simpler giveaway or promotion.

  • To generate a higher interaction with your audience, try offering one or more prizes among all the participants or giving away direct discounts for participating in the promotion. You can also award prizes through points in the ranking or with a giveaway among the registered participants. This way, besides the entertainment of the game itself, there will be an added motivation to win a prize.
