Launcpad6 works better in situations where there is a need of creating events. I strongly consider that it is one of the best software that we have implemented in order to create and manage events. I believe that Launchpad6 would not work in an environment where Customer Service or Technical Assistance is needed.

This is such an easy platform to set up and connect to the different social media channels that you would want to use for an upcoming giveaway. It makes it simple for your participants to join and is an easy way for you to increase your engagement in the contests.

I think not that the problem was with Rafflecopter, but rather our company and it's approach to Social Media. Being a conservative B2B company in the manufacturing / safety industry doesn't, at this time, offer us many "social" connections that leads to sale/brand awareness. I think we might be better served on a different social network, say LinkedIn. On a personal note, it was a pleasure using Rafflecopter. Easy, fast, cheap and I can see how it can be hugely effective to a social media campaign for those that are in a different industry than the one I work in. I will certainly be recommending the product to my friends and other businesses that are more appropriately served by Rafflecopter.

Their support is fine. I remember the one time promising an upcoming feature that I don't think ever got implemented, but it wasn't a huge deal. I haven't had a lot of interaction with their support team.

Gleam is much better than Woobox, even though the latter have better pricing tiers.

Launchpad6 is easier to understand and manage, compared to other software. I tried Wishpond a couple of times but Launchpad6 demonstrated to me that it was the best option in the market. I have tried Launchpad6 for a while and it has worked perfectly. We have seen a productivity increase within our team.

Rafflecopter is widely used and people have usually heard of it before. The other way we coordinate giveaways is to have a. spreadsheet with all the entries. Then use Google's random number generator which correlates to one of the rows in the spreadsheet which would be our winner
