Monetization Strategies
This is the traditional media sales model where a sales team sells high-value packages to local businesses.
Title Sponsorships: A single brand “owns” a major event (e.g., “The [Bank Name] Best of the City Awards”). This includes logo placement on every page, email, and social post related to the contest.
Category Sponsorships: Businesses sponsor a specific section relevant to their industry. For example, a local dealership could sponsor the “Automotive” category of a ballot, or a home improvement store could sponsor a “Great Backyard Makeover” photo contest.
Lead-Gen Survey Questions: This is often the most valuable “add-on.” You can charge a premium to include a custom question in the entry form, such as: “Are you planning to replace your roof in the next 6 months?” The “Yes” responses are then sold as hot leads to a roofing sponsor.
These strategies use the platform’s built-in e-commerce tools to generate revenue without a salesperson’s manual involvement.
Enhanced Ballot Listings: During a “Best Of” campaign, businesses can pay for a “Featured Listing.” This moves them to the top of their category, adds their logo, a link to their website, and a “Vote for Us” button.
Self-Service Ad Portals: The platform allows businesses to buy their own ad placements or “thank you” page coupons directly through a credit card portal (like Stripe).
Couponing & Offers: After a user enters a contest, the “Thank You” page can feature a downloadable coupon or a “Buy Now” link for a sponsor’s product, creating immediate ROI for the advertiser.
While these don’t always result in immediate cash, they build the long-term value of the media property.
Email List Growth: Every contest is an opportunity to grow a “first-party” database. A larger, segmented email list (e.g., “People interested in BBQ”) allows for higher rates on future dedicated email blasts.
SMS Marketing: Selling “Keywords” to advertisers. A sponsor can pay to have a dedicated keyword (e.g., Text ‘PIZZA’ to 55555) that enters the user into a contest and sends back a mobile-only offer.
Sponsored Newsletters: Using the data gathered from quizzes and polls to create highly targeted niche newsletters (e.g., a “Prep Sports” newsletter) that can be sold to a specific group of advertisers.
Sports-based monetization is often handled as a “season-long” play.
The “Beat the Expert” Model: A local celebrity or business owner acts as the “expert” that users try to out-pick. The business pays for the branding and the opportunity to give away prizes to those who beat them.
Store Traffic Drivers: Offering a “Bonus Entry” or a “Secret Code” that can only be found by visiting a physical retail location.
