No social media strategy is complete without wall contests. It is, after all, an integral part of any digital marketing strategy. This 2018, social media contests remain effective as long as you do them right. How? By zeroing in on what’s relevant for your customers, experimenting with different ideas, and choosing the right prize.

No matter what your brand is, it’s always a good idea to reward fans with giveaways or engage them with exciting contests.

Here, we curate some new wall contest and giveaway ideas that will surely be a hit among your devoted followers.
