In the same way that you might run a competition in store, you can configure your online store to do the same.
Competitions are a classic way to reward your customers for choosing to shop with you, they can be used to increase their spend, promote a specific product or launch a new line. The Myfoodlink platform is able to recreate these competitions for your online customers, meaning they can enter your competitions alongside your in-store customers.
For example, customers who buy a particular product or brand’s products might be eligible for an entry. A number of our customers run regular competitions in partnership with their suppliers, such as the opportunity to win a holiday, pizza oven or even paddleboard if they purchase a particular product! These competitions can be run in conjunction with in-store promotions.
Competitions can be a great means by which to boost sales of a certain product, drive traffic to your online store or increase overall basket-size, so they're well worth running!
You will need to have the Competitions, Last Minute Promos and Promote at Checkout features enabled in your store backoffice in order to set this up. We have a full Support article to walk you through setting up your Competition and our customer success team is available to assist if required.
Once you have created and set up the Competition, remember to test it and to have one or two others test it too. The next step is to launch and promote your Competition! When the Competition ends, you can check who has participated by going to Settings → Competition → Download the entries.
