What happens if I feature my giveaway? FAQ
Featured giveaways will get your giveaway more exposure and are prioritized in the listing line-up!
The homepage of the Giveaway Gear Website displays the most recent giveaways posted on the site. On average, we are posting 15-21 Giveaways every other day so the front page is constantly changing thus your listing will be pushed back down every time there are new giveaways. With our Featured Giveaway Image Slider, your giveaway will stay at the top of the Homepage & shown in other listing posts thus more exposure to your giveaway.
Due to the high volume of submissions, we limit our giveaway post to a maximum of 21 giveaways per update thus all basic giveaways are queued. This line-up can be as long as 7-days. With Featured Listing, your giveaway is prioritized in the listing line-up.
Lastly, all featured listing options include social media share once per week. The majority of our readers still come from our social media pages so social media shares can provide a huge increase in traffic and entries. Also, featured giveaways are featured in every email update so subscribers will see every new giveaway update.
Why my giveaway hasn’t been posted yet?
If your giveaway is not featured and hasn’t been posted within 7 Days then your giveaway has been rejected. There may be several reasons why submitted giveaways are rejected:
- Lack of clear giveaway eligibility & end date information on the provided link. We manually check all submitted giveaways and if such information can not be found on the provided link then your submitted giveaway will be rejected.
2. Giveaway end date is too soon. Due to the high volume of submissions, it is always best to have your giveaway run at least two weeks after submission. You can upgrade your listing to Featured Listing if you want it to be posted within 24 hours.
3. Giveaway is a duplicate of another giveaway that is already posted.
