About the format

## About the vote game

The vote game is an online voting campaign. You present the candidates — products, designs, ideas or nominees — and people vote for their favourite. After the vote, they see the results so far or a thank-you page.

It's perfect for awards, product decisions and community campaigns. Add a picture and a short text to every candidate, ask for a sign-up before people vote and give away a prize to the voters. You follow the votes in your dashboard in near real time.

- Vote for products, designs, ideas or nominees
- Pictures and text for each candidate
- Show results live or after the vote
- Send people on to an offer or a page of your choice

## How a vote campaign works

A vote game lets people cast their vote for their favourite — a product, a design, a nominee or an idea. Each option can have a name, a picture and a short text, so people can get to know the candidates before they choose. After voting, people see the results so far or a thank-you page, and the votes are counted in your dashboard.

In Scratcher you can add text, pictures and a sign-up form to the vote, and style every screen to match your brand. When people have voted, you can send them on to a page of your choice, show an offer or reveal extra content. Add a prize draw for everyone who votes, and the vote grows your newsletter list at the same time.

## When to use a vote game

A vote game is the right choice when you want to give your audience a real say — and create some buzz while you do it.

- **Awards and competitions:** let the public choose the winner.
- **Product decisions:** let customers vote for the next flavour, color or design, and launch the winner.
- **Sport:** let fans vote for player of the season or goal of the month.
- **Local and community campaigns:** let people nominate and vote for their favourite shop, café or volunteer.
- **Employer branding:** let employees and customers vote for this year's best colleague or team.

## 7 ideas for your vote game

1. **"The people's choice award."** Nominate candidates and let your audience crown the winner.
2. **"Design our next product."** Show a few new designs and produce the most popular one.
3. **"Name it."** Let people vote on the name of a new product, mascot or animal.
4. **"Best in town."** Let people vote for their favourite store, restaurant or venue in your network.
5. **"Player of the season."** Let fans pick their hero at the end of the season.
6. **"Which cause should we support?"** Let customers decide where your donation goes.
7. **"Photo of the year."** Collect photos from your community and let people vote for the best.

## Tips for a vote game that converts

### Tip #1: Make the candidates easy to compare

People should be able to choose without effort.

- Use a picture and a short text for each option.
- Keep the number of options manageable — split them into categories if there are many.
- Tell people why each option is in the running.

### Tip #2: Make the vote feel important

People take part when they feel their vote matters.

- Tell people what happens to the winner.
- Show the results live, or keep them secret until a big reveal.
- Announce the winner on social media, in your newsletter or at an event.

### Tip #3: Decide how often people can vote

Choose whether people can vote once or once a day. Daily voting brings people back again and again, while a single vote keeps things simple. Ask for an email before people vote, so each vote belongs to a real person.

### Tip #4: Add a prize for the voters

Many people will vote just for fun, but a prize draw for everyone who votes gives them one more reason to sign up. Read more about [prizes](https://scratcher.io/platform/prizes).

### Tip #5: Let the candidates share it

The nominees are your best ambassadors. Give them a link they can share with friends and followers, and share it on your own [social media](https://scratcher.io/platform/social-media) channels. On your website, a [pop-up](https://scratcher.io/platform/pop-ups) on the front page makes sure every visitor knows the vote is open — and how many days are left to take part.

### Tip #6: Use the data afterwards

The votes tell you what people like, and the sign-ups give you a list of engaged fans. Send the data to your email tool with our [integrations](https://scratcher.io/platform/integrations) and follow up when the winner is announced.
