Attractive prizes, simple contest mechanism and drive participation from other social channels- these are some essential ingredients that determine the success of LINE contests.
In April this year, DEKALB, a top-quality crop science brand selling maize seeds, organized a LINE contest campaign incorporating the above ingredients and emerged successful in its objective of growing follower base.
What was the contest mechanism and how was the outcome? Let’s explore.
Dekalb’s LINE contest
To establish the context, this is not the first time that DEKALB organized an event on LINE. Back in late 2019, DEKALB launched its first LINE contest and the result inspired the brand to take it to another level by offering a more attractive prize- 10 sets of DEKALB special edition power bank (10,000 mAh) up for grabs!
Here’s the contest mechanism in 3 steps:
- Add DEKALB as a friend on LINE.
- Tell us what is your favorite corn hybrid and why.
- 10 participants with the best answer will win a special edition power bank.
All thanks to the simple contest mechanism, it could be easily communicated and highly comprehensible to farmers, hence making it convenient for farmers to participate without barriers to entry.
To further drive contest participation, DEKALB also shout-out about the LINE contest on its Facebook page. Whenever farmers were unsure of the participation criteria, DEKALB’s community management team was also prompt to guide them in the comments section and inbox.
Within a month of running the contest, DEKALB’s LINE OA experienced a surge in followers, with follower count more than doubled from 600 to 1,500.
