# Giveaways
> Engage shoppers and build your market community with digital giveaways
## Overview
Create giveaways featuring prizes from your market vendors. Giveaways drive foot traffic to vendor booths, build your market's social media following, and collect shopper contact info for future marketing.
## Accessing Giveaways
Open your market's management page and click the **Giveaways** card.
## Managing Giveaways
The giveaways dashboard shows all giveaways for your market:
## Creating a Giveaway
### Step 1: Giveaway Details
Fill out:
* **Giveaway name**
* **Description**
* **Start and end dates**
* **Entry requirements**
### Step 2: Add Prizes
* Select prizes from participating vendors (if vendors indicated prize contributions on their application).
* Add multiple prizes from different vendors.
* Each prize can include the vendor's name and value.
You can create multiple giveaways per market, each with different vendor
prizes and timeframes.
### Step 3: Social Follow Requirements
Configure which social accounts shoppers must follow to enter. You can require follows for the **market** and/or **participating vendors** on:
* **Instagram**
* **TikTok**
* **X (Twitter)**
* **Facebook**
* **YouTube**
This is optional — you can run giveaways without social follow requirements.
### Step 4: Legal Requirements
Review and customize:
* Standard legal terms.
* Optional privacy policy.
* Entry rules and conditions.
## Managing Active Giveaways
Once created, manage your giveaway:
* **View all entries** — see who entered.
* **Pick Winner** — randomly select an entrant.
* **Notify Winner** — send an email with prize claim instructions.
* **Resend notification** — resend the winner email if needed.
## Sharing Your Giveaway
Access the giveaway URL through the three-dot menu:
Share your giveaway:
* Through the **Digital Market Guide** (shoppers see it in the Giveaway tab).
* **Direct URL** sharing.
* **QR code** per giveaway (print and display at vendor booths).

## How Shoppers Enter
Shoppers open the giveaway (from the Digital Market Guide, direct URL, or QR code) and fill out:
Required information:

The post-entry experience drives foot traffic to vendor booths by showing
exactly where participating vendors are located.
