In this post we’ll look into why this approach is so effective, and how your business can benefit.

Why Combining Giveaways with Facebook Lead Ads is so powerfull for Small Businesses

• Boosts Engagement Quickly: Giveaways naturally drive high levels of interaction—likes, comments, and shares—which signals to Facebook that your ad is compelling. This helps improve your Ad Relevance, optimizes your reach and reduces cost. This is especially powerful for businesses starting out with a brand new Meta ads account that hasn’t been through the initial learning phase and is yet to fully  understand your business’ core audience. Using this ads strategy will increase learning speed, and reduce cost during the learning period, thats notoriously difficult to be cost effective with standard strategies 

• Builds Initial Trust and Brand Awareness: Offering a prize in exchange for engagement builds social proof and helps potential customers feel more confident in your business. This is crucial for businesses like tattoo shops or chiropractors, where trust is a key factor in client decisions.

• Cost-Effective Lead Generation: Even with a modest budget (e.g., €50 targeting a local area), you can effectively gather leads with a giveaway with a price for the winner, and every participant receives a discount on their next visit. This is especially useful for restaurants or beauty salons, where attracting local clientele can lead to repeat business.
