Lead Capture Form Strategy

To ensure you get high-quality data before they scratch, I recommend setting these fields as “Required” in your Priiize settings:

1. First & Last Name
2. Work Email (Pro-tip: Use “Business Email” to avoid @gmail.com addresses)
3. Company Name
4. Opt-in Fill-In Field: “Want to be updated on [Brand Name] news and future giveaways.” Fill in YES.

Since the Event & Trade Show campaign is all about striking while the iron is hot, this follow-up email should be short, professional, and branded with a “high-energy” vibe.

In Priiize (and most CRM integrations), you can use dynamic tags (like {{first_name}} and a snapshot of their prize to personalize the message automatically.

Subject Line Options

• Option B (Urgent): Don’t forget to claim your win at Booth #[Your Booth Number]!

Pro-Tip for Trade Show Success

If you want to maximize your ROI, set up a different automated email for those who “Lost” (the High-Volume/Consolation winners).

• For Winners: Focus on the Redemption (getting them back to the booth).
• For Non-Winners: Focus on a Digital Gift (an eBook, a whitepaper, or a “Show Special” discount code), so they still feel like they gained value from sharing their email with you.

Since the goal of the “Consolation” email is to pivot a “loss” into a “win” for your brand, we want to focus on exclusive value. Instead of a physical prize, give them a digital asset or a “Show Special” discount that makes them feel like part of an inner circle.

Email Notification

Here is a draft designed to keep the relationship warm without requiring them to walk back to the booth.

Subject Line Options:

• Option A: A little something for you from [Brand Name]
• Option B: Thanks for playing! Here’s a special “Show Gift” just for you.
• Option C: Sorry you missed the Grand Prize, but you still won this [prize].

The Email Body

Hi {{first_name}},

Thanks so much for stopping by the [Brand Name] booth at [Event Name] today!

Enjoy the rest of the event!

Best,

The [Brand Name] Team [Link to Website] | [Link to LinkedIn]

Why this works:

1. Empathy: Acknowledging the “loss” makes the brand feel more human.
2. Zero Friction: They don’t have to walk back to your booth to get this; it’s delivered instantly to their inbox.
3. Data Validation: Since they just gave you their email at the booth, receiving this email immediately proves your brand is organized and responsive.

4. Safety & Workplace Incentives

The Strategy: Use the “Scratch-Off” as a reward for a “Safe Streak.” If a team goes 30 days without an incident, every member receives a digital scratcher via email or Slack on Friday morning.

Campaign Theme: “The Safety Streak Jackpot”

• Pre-Scratch Text: “Another safe month in the books! You’ve helped keep our team strong. Scratch below to see your reward.”

Prize Tier Winning Message The Prize

The “Unicorn” JACKPOT: THE DAY OFF! A “Floating Holiday” (Paid day off to use anytime).

Mid-Tier LUNCH IS ON US! A $25 digital Uber Eats or DoorDash voucher.

High-Volume THE COFFEE RELOAD A $5 Starbucks or Dunkin’ e-gift card.

Consolation STILL A WINNER! “You’ve earned 500 Bonus Points for our Company Swag Store!”

The Follow-Up Email (The “Safety Hero” Note):

Subject: Congrats, {{first_name}}! Your Safety Reward is here.

Body: Hi {{first_name}}, thanks for keeping [Company Name] safe this month. Your commitment to our safety protocols is what makes this team great. You scratched and won: {{prize_won}}!

[Button: Access My Digital Gift Card / Contact HR]

Keep up the great work, and let’s go for 60 days!

5. Franchise & Multi-Location

The Strategy: Use the “Local Legend” approach. Franchises often struggle with local engagement. A digital scratcher sent via a local Facebook ad or email list drives people into the store to redeem their prize.

Campaign Theme: “The Neighborhood Lucky Draw”

• Pre-Scratch Text: “We love our [City Name] neighbors! Scratch to reveal your exclusive local offer. Valid at [Store Address] only.”

Prize Tier Winning Message The Prize

The “Unicorn” THE GOLDEN TICKET! “Free [Signature Item] every week for 3 months!”

Mid-Tier HALF-OFF HERO “50% off your entire order today!”

High-Volume THE SWEET TREAT “Free Side/Dessert with any purchase.”

Consolation LOCAL LOVE “Take 10% off your next visit. See you soon!”

The Follow-Up Email (The “Visit Us” Reminder):

Subject: Don’t let your {{prize_won}} expire!

Body: Hi {{first_name}}, thanks for playing our Neighborhood Lucky Draw! You won {{prize_won}}, and it’s waiting for you at our [City/Location] store.

How to redeem: Show this email to the cashier when you order.

Address: [Insert Google Maps Link to Location]

Expiring: [Insert Date – creates urgency!]

[Button: Get Directions to {{store_location}}]

1. Retail & POS Promotions

The Strategy: Use the “Surprise at Checkout” or “Receipt Reward.” By placing a QR code at the register or on a hanging sign, you turn a mundane transaction into an event. It’s also a brilliant way to turn “just looking” window shoppers into “ready to buy” customers.

Campaign Theme: “The Mystery Bag Reveal”

• Pre-Scratch Text: “What’s inside your digital shopping bag? Scratch to reveal your instant in-store reward!

Prize Tier Winning Message The Prize

The “Unicorn” THE ENTIRE BAG IS FREE! Your current purchase is on the house (up to $200).

Mid-Tier UPGRADE YOUR STYLE “Buy One, Get One 50% Off” on any accessory or shoe.

High-Volume THE $10 BONUS “$10 off any purchase of $50 or more today.”

Consolation: JOIN THE CLUB “A free [Brand] Tote Bag with any purchase.”

The Follow-Up Email (The “Don’t Forget” Reminder):

Subject: Don’t leave your {{prize_won}} behind! 🛒

Body: Hi {{first_name}}, thanks for stopping by [Store Name]! You scratched and won {{prize_won}}.

If you didn’t use it yet, it’s valid until [Date]. Just show this email at the register to apply your reward.

[Button: View Store Hours & Directions]

2. SMS & Mobile Promotions

The Strategy: SMS has a 98% open rate, making it the most powerful way to deliver a Priiize link. SMS works best as a “Flash Sale” or “Weekend Extravaganza.” It’s personal, direct, and lives right in their pocket.

Campaign Theme: “The Mobile Flash Scratch”

• Pre-Scratch Text: “A secret offer just for our mobile VIPs! Scratch below to see your flash deal. Hurry—it expires at midnight!”

Prize Tier Winning Message The Prize

The “Unicorn” THE VIP EXPERIENCE! A $100 Digital Gift Card + Early Access to the next drop.

Mid-Tier FREE SHIPPING + 25% OFF High-value discount to push those “abandoned carts” to checkout.

High-Volume THE $5 FLASH CREDIT “$5 off your order—no minimum spend!”

Consolation MYSTERY GIFT “A free [Sample/Digital Asset] added to any order today.”

The Follow-Up SMS (The “Final Countdown”):

SMS Text: Hey {{first_name}}! Your {{prize_won}} expires in 3 hours. Don’t let it slip away! Use it here: [Link to Store] — Reply STOP to opt out.

Quick Recap of the “Priiize” Advantage for

Digital Scratch Off Promotions

Across all these industries, Priiize solves three major problems:

1. Lead Friction: People hate filling out forms, but they love scratching to see if they won. The game is the “bribe” for the data.
2. Tracking: Unlike paper coupons, you know exactly who won, who redeemed, and which location/channel is performing best.
3. Cost: You aren’t paying for printing or postage—just the platform to host the fun.
