Everything you need, built in
Flexible entry options
Collect entries through form submissions, or through social engagement like comments, reactions, and hashtagged posts. Host it on a landing page or embed it directly on your existing website.
Winner selection made easy
Choose winners randomly with a built-in picker, or let your audience decide through voting. Give people bonus entries for actions like sharing, following, or watching a video — more entries, more reach.
A complete funnel, not just a giveaway
Every entry form doubles as a lead-gen tool. Entrants land in a segmented, exportable database, then automated emails do the follow-up — confirmations, winner announcements, and nurture sequences that keep the conversation going after the campaign ends. Sync it all to your CRM or email platform, and watch which sources, entries, and messages actually convert in built-in analytics.
Businesses running contests and sweepstakes with ShortStack have boosted conversions by up to 34%.
Why people use ShortStack to build their giveaway
