Until something better comes along, Punchtab is the best there is. Support has been great, pricing is great and the product fulfills our needs

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.

Extremely fast support from a knowledgeable team

Nothing more required than signing up and authenticating with Facebook/Twitter

Rafflecopter, Woobox - Punchtab offered powerful custom features, and allows us to run a variety of campaigns across multiple platforms

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

• An average campaign generates around 2500-5000 new followers on our channels with a very minimal investment.
