Setting the objectives will allow you to understand, once the action is over, how its performance was. If, for example, what you are looking for is more followers and more interaction, then these are the elements to measure at the end of the giveaway.
Also it is important that you offer an attractive prize that encourages people to participate.
To make your brand known, the ideal is to establish as rules to participate that users follow your profile, ‘like’ the publication and also add a comment tagging one or more friends.
In this way, you will generate a good interaction in your publications and it will be made known to a greater number of people.
Also you can choose a theme or a special date to do the draw and manage to attract more people, not only because of the prize, but because the publication is attractive and fun.
Remember that the bases and conditions of the draw must be very clear to ensure good development.
Do not forget: use the Stories to promote the contest and broadcast the draw live to announce the winners. Use your creativity to get good images of those moments and also the drawing, text and tagging tools that Instagram offers you.
