Before you move from Rafflecopter
- Ask for your data export now. Your old entrant emails are the easiest list to invite to your next giveaway.
- Find the old widget on your blog posts and swap it for a link or embed, so readers don't land on a dead form.
- Write fresh official rules. The free rules generator writes US sweepstakes rules with no purchase necessary, eligibility and odds.
- Run one small giveaway first, to check your entry page, bonus entries and draw before a big launch.
