Frequently Asked Questions
Why use the Spreadit application?
Spreadit is an innovative and fun way to engage with those hard to reach customers.
It is perfect for product launches, or reinvigorating a brand. Spreadit gets your
conversation to the top of the pile and gets people talking about your brand. Giving
away cool prizes has a funny habit of making people happy. Happy people tell their
friend network and so on. Your brand is all of a sudden being seen in a positive
light by thousands of people.
This looks like SPAM to me?
We go to great lengths to ensure this does not occur. To discourage SPAM activity
points are allocated not on the amount of activity one engages in, but on the entry
alone i.e. 1 tweet gains 1 entry into every draw for the duration of the competition,
become a Facebook fan and you get a further entry into each draw. We do not reward
multiple tweets and in fact will disqualify those who engage in this type of activity.
We adhere to Facebook’s rules around promotions found here http://www.facebook.com/promotions_guidelines.php
Twitter has a more open set of guidelines and we make sure we adhere to these as
well. You can see Twitter’s rules here http://support.twitter.com/articles/18311-the-twitter-rules
How does Spreadit work?
Our clients have great prizes to give away every hour. You register your personal
and social network details, this is so we can measure your activity and allocate
you points for each draw. Then check back every hour to see if you are a winner!!
Don’t worry if you can't check the competition home page each hour as we will email
the winner, we will also provide Facebook updates and tweets.
How does the Spreadit engine itself work?
The Spreadit engine checks the Facebook and Twitter APIs, processes activity and
picks winners in real time. It is infinitely scalable and can run many concurrent
competitions at a single time.
When will other social networks be available?
We are currently working on integration with Google + and LinkedIn at the moment.
Expect the release to be mid 2012.
We are an agency, can we white label Spreadit?
Yes, Spreadit has been developed with this in mind, for more details please contact
us.
Is there a minimum prize value?
Yes. An hourly prize must have a minimum value of $100. In most cases there will
also be a grand prize to be drawn at the conclusion of the competition.
Can I enter multiple times?
No. We allow one entry per competing social network per competition i.e one tweet
per person per competition. This does get you entries into every hourly draw for
the duration of the competition.
What if I do not have a social network account i.e Facebook, Twitter?
What planet are you living on? You do require access to one or more of the competing
social networks, registration is very simple and will only take a few minutes. Or
you can simply use your email account – sending emails also gets you points for
the draw.
Who owns Spreadit?
