Rarely do we take a look into which products or incentives will be most effective in gaining participation. ### New Products A social media giveaway is a great way to introduce a new product or service of your company and build awareness around your product launch. ### Special Discounts Offering exclusive deals that are only available through social channels or in exchange for liking your company page will help you build your online presence and social media following. ### Free Gift With Purchase A free gift with purchase will encourage consumers to purchase qualifying items and help you to clear inventory. ### Gift Cards Gift cards are always a welcomed prize and are a great way to get people in your store with the hopes of them purchasing more than their gift card is worth. ### Shopping Spree A capped shopping spree that allows one winner to choose a few items that add up to a particular dollar amount is sure to garner loads of participation. ### Cash Prizes Cash is king and anytime you can offer it as a reward to your social media followers, you can expect an uptick in followers. ### Free Service For those in service industries, offering a free service not only provides value to potential customers, it gets you in the door for them to see the value of your work. ### Spa Package Everyone needs a spa day every once in a while, but they can be quite pricey. This makes them a great option for a raffle or social media contest. ### Museum Tickets Museum tickets are a unique prize that can help to draw in customers. Pick a museum that fits your customer base and the theme of your business. ### Branded Merchandise Branded merchandise is always a hit with loyal customers and they can provide your business with advertising for years to come. **Let Quikstone Capital be your small business funding partner!** [![Learn More](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/311686/e0360218-687c-4eed-8c50-0f6bdd8f98c9.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/311686/e0360218-687c-4eed-8c50-0f6bdd8f98c9) Topics: [Restaurant](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/restaurant), [Retail](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/retail), [Small Business](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/small-business) #### Category/Topic - [Small Business (268)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/small-business) - [Restaurant (255)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/restaurant) - [Growing Your Business (191)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/growing-your-business) - [Funding Your Business (147)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/funding-your-business) - [Holiday (110)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/holiday) - [Merchant Cash Advance (93)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/merchant-cash-advance) - [Retail (70)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/retail) - [Business Cash Advance (59)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/business-cash-advance) - [Bakery (52)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/bakery) - [Specialty Retail (52)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/specialty-retail) - [Catering (49)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/catering) - [Salon and Day Spa (46)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/salon-and-day-spa) - [Auto shops (41)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/auto-shops) - [Grow Your Business (33)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/grow-your-business) - [Liquor Store (31)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/liquor-store) - [Marketing (25)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/marketing) - [Ecommerce (21)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/ecommerce) - [About us (20)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/about-us) - [Mobile (11)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/mobile) - [Cash for Businesses (10)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/cash-for-businesses) - [Dental Office (9)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/dental-office) - [Coffee Shop (8)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/coffee-shop) - [Veterinary (5)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/veterinary) - [PCI compliance (3)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/pci-compliance) - [Pool Service (2)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/pool-service) [See More](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/10-social-media-contest-giveaway-ideas#) [![Alternative Funding](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/311686/b9359813-7020-4f5e-828a-adacff883647.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/311686/b9359813-7020-4f5e-828a-adacff883647) [![Merchant Cash Advance](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/hs-fs/hubfs/_Website/Logos/Web-Combo-2.png?width=738&name=Web-Combo-2.png "Merchant Cash Advance")](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/) Quikstone Capital provides business loan alternatives to get your business the cash it needs to grow and prosper.
