Frequently Asked Questions

Packages start at $2,000, with custom pricing for larger or more complex promotions. Final quotes depend on mechanic complexity, channels, prizing, and fulfillment depth.

Scope usually reflects mechanic complexity, number of prizes and winners, channels (digital, retail, social), judging or moderation needs, registration or bonding support, timeline pressure, and fulfillment depth. Share those details and CFA Promo maps them to a clear estimate.

Billing aligns with the agreed scope and milestones (often deposit plus balance tied to launch or deliverables). CFA Promo outlines payment timing before work begins so finance teams can plan.

Yes. Official rules define eligibility, timing and geography, how to enter, prize descriptions and approximate retail values, odds or judging criteria, winner verification, and dispute handling. Rules should match landing pages, ads, and retail copy.

Requirements vary by mechanic and jurisdiction. CFA Promo supports registrations, bonds, and disclosures aligned with your counsel’s guidance.

Bonding and registration thresholds depend on prize value, geography, and promotion structure — there is no one-size answer. CFA Promo coordinates filings and documentation alongside guidance from your legal team.

Geographic eligibility is common but must be stated clearly in rules and marketing. Cross-border programs add complexity (privacy, language, local promotion law). CFA Promo helps operationalize what counsel approves.

Useful inputs include objectives and KPIs, channels and landing URLs, prize list with approximate values, creative drafts or timelines, internal legal contact, and any retailer or partner requirements. Missing pieces surface fast so nothing blocks launch.

Material changes (prizes, dates, eligibility, channels) usually require rule amendments and updated disclosures. CFA Promo coordinates versioning, winner communications if needed, and administrator logs so the record stays clean.
