Giveaways and raffles are effective tools to spark excitement, encourage participation, and foster a stronger connection with your teams on ConnexWork. Here's why you should consider using them:

Why Use Giveaways and Raffles?

Celebrate company milestones, special events, or holidays.
Increase team interaction by highlighting common interests and building stronger workplace connections.
Motivate employees by rewarding specific actions, behaviors, or achievements.
Generate consistent activity and content on your ConnexWork platform.

Creative Examples:

Limited-Time Swag Orders: Offer special apparel or items to commemorate company anniversaries, holidays, or achievements. Collect orders using simple forms or surveys.

Action-Based Raffles: Drive targeted engagement with prizes for:
- Sharing team-building activities or hobbies to connect team members over shared interests.
- Posting crew photos from job sites to win team lunches.
- Using specific hashtags for raffle entries. Hashtags are especially convenient for raffles because they can be searched and organized, which makes choosing a winner(s) quick and easy.
- Posting content during a specific time frame to encourage regular participation
Seasonal or Event-Based Raffles: Create excitement around special occasions, such as raffling sports tickets, gift cards, or holiday-themed prizes. In one example, the user simply comments to enter. In the other they need to post Halloween decorations, costumes, or photos of pumpkins. In both cases, Steelers tickets that otherwise may go unused are democratized so that anyone in the company could win.

To ensure maximum participation and enthusiasm, align your giveaways and raffles with your team's shared interests and your company's unique culture. Understanding and knowing your team will help you select prizes and themes that genuinely resonate, increasing overall engagement and excitement. Clearly outline the rules, including eligibility criteria, precise deadlines, and prize details. Consistent and frequent communication about deadlines and prize highlights keeps your team informed, enthusiastic, and connected, fostering a vibrant and engaged ConnexWork community.

These initiatives do more than create excitement. They build momentum, spark ongoing interaction, and strengthen a culture of connection across your team.
