Challenge
Shari's Cafe & Pies wanted to engage their social media followers using a fun photo contest promoting a seasonal pie and their partnership with Sunkist.
Solution
They used the photo contest because their customers love taking selfies with their food at Shari's Cafe & Pies. "[It was the] perfect opportunity to run a photo contest." They asked participants to upload a photo to win a "Start The Year Out Fresh Prize Pack!", which included a Sunkist Commercial Electric Juicer ($600 value), $50 in Sunkist Fresh Fruit certificates, and a $50 Shari's gift card. The winner was chosen based on the photo that received the most votes, and two more were selected as winners by Shari's Cafe & Pies. They also incentivized voters to vote by randomly selecting 10 voters, who had the chance to choose a free pie.
Results
"We had hundreds of entries and our fans enjoyed voting for their favorite photos. We saw a lot of increased traffic on our website and Facebook page." "We received hundreds of wonderful photos and guests had a lot of fun participating in the contest, which was one of our primary objectives. [We created] photo fun around a seasonal item we wanted to highlight."
"We increased our Facebook traffic by 30% during this photo contest. It's the 2nd time we've run a photo contest and we received far more entries during this photo contest."
