Giveaway Event Software Advice?

Sparklesperson · 08-26-2008, 10:49 AM

Hi all,

I'm exploring doing a giveaway event in a NONE-IM niche, and would like your pros and cons on the softwares that are available for that kind of event.

I will also accept any "dos" or "don'ts" you may have to pass along too.

I'm not new to the internet, nor to marketing in general, but this will be the first time doing a JV giveaway event.

Thanks in advance!

Have you looked at Giveaway Manager 2? Seems a bit pricey to me, but I know a lot of people who use it.

I have, and I would like to use it. My partner isn't as thrilled for some reason.

Patricia,

The top three scripts for giveaways are Simple Member Pro, Giveaway Manager, and Ultimate Giveaway scripts.

All three are similar in a few ways but take three seperate paths towards running giveaways. Actually, there is a common thread between all three scripts. The original coder for Giveaway Manager is the original creator of the failed membership script from 2 years ago that both Scott Case (Ultimate Giveaway script) and I contributed free code to in an effort to make the script work.

Giveaway Manager has a new programmer and many problems in the original code have been fixed.

Scotts script is solid and has been from the start.

My script you are familiar with already.

For the most part giveaway software is no different to membership software when looking for a scripted solution. Choose what features you want your site to have and choose the script that already has those features built in.

I like you was worried what software for my upcoming giveaway should I use,

I have found Scott Cases Ultimate JV Giveaway Script easy to set-up with many options.
It is a well good script with a many features.

Mike,
I suggest you stop spamming the forum with affiliate links... Jumping into every JV thread you can find...
