Our Quality Services
Sweepstakes management is a job that has a lot of moving parts. Initially the promotional campaign needs to be developed, from concept to prize giveaway. We provide expert consulting in developing your contest or sweepstakes concept. With our vast experience with many kinds of businesses, we know the best ways to attract your existing and potential customers. We help persuade them to participate in your contests and continue patronizing your brand, products or services. This is what we do. This is all we do.
In addition, while your campaign is running, we continue to oversee, consult and troubleshoot any issues. We provide technology support and an online portal to keep track of your campaigns and social media as well. We guide you every step of the way so you can focus on your business.
Minimizing Risk
One of the most cumbersome areas for contest management is legal compliance. In this area we take care of you by making sure you have all the right disclosures and rules in place. We handle all of the state to state registrations, surety bonds, and IRS filings. It is important to minimize any risk and make sure you are legally protected. Therefore, we make sure you are in full legal compliance within our sweepstakes administration.
Prize Planning and Procurement
Another area in which many companies need guidance is prize planning and procurement. We make sure your prizes are in compliance, and we make all the necessary arrangement to get the prizes in a timely manner in relation to your contest deadlines.
Moderation and Judging
CFA will take care of contest moderation and judging. Then once your contest is over, we also manage the winner selection, validation, affidavits, and we also notify the winners.

As your contest management company, we also take reporting and analytics very seriously. We want you to know your numbers well and have a clear idea of how your sweepstakes or contest went so that you can evaluate its performance and identify potential areas of improvement for the next promotion.

Whether your sweepstakes promotions are used to build an email list, increase traffic to your social media pages, or get customers to an event, we aim to create the campaign in the most effective way for your goals and minimize any risk.
Contests vs Sweepstakes
Many people might not realize that contests and sweepstakes work a bit differently. With contests, participants do something to win the contest, in addition to entering. Sweepstakes are simply an entry and require no skills. With sweepstakes many states require you make sure entrants know they cannot do anything to increase their chances of winning, such as purchasing your products. Your customers need to know clearly that they will be picked at random and not on merit. But with contests you have more freedom to make rules or even require a purchase. Both these types of promotions require different legal restrictions or caveats and it is important to understand what they are from state to state, or region to region if international. If you are requiring an entrant to submit photos or videos, you might have to ensure they know they are releasing the use of their material.
At CFA, you can be sure we will provide all the necessary legal language and copyrighting you need to run your contest without risk. Your official rules must include all the proper details and state all rules and expectations as clearly as possible, including exactly what prizes are offered, as well as list the dates for entry, deadline and winner selection.
Also if you want to use your entrants’ information for future marketing campaigns, you must make it clear that you will be using their information. We won’t let you down when it comes to making all aspects of your contest or sweepstakes run smoothly.

Through our strategic and detail-oriented process, we are committed to ensuring you get the most out of your sweepstakes or contest promotion.

Part of Your Marketing Plan
Though some of our clients may be interested in boosting their customer engagement with a sweepstakes, many of our clients also make sweepstakes a part of their whole marketing plan. We work with marketing agencies and companies to fulfill this requirement and run the sweepstakes administration. We make sure the sweeps or contest campaign is in alignment with the rest of the marketing message and brand, and we take care of all the legal compliance and execution of the campaign. Consider CFA a partner in your marketing efforts as well as your sweepstakes administration company.

We serve as your tech and consulting partner in running your campaigns on your popular social media channels.

We love social media for our promotions because we know that they achieve several things for our clients including increase in fans, increase in engagement with fans old and new, and bringing people to come to your page time and again to check for similar or repeat promotions.
