ViralSweep

ViralSweep runs prize promotions to generate sales, with a Purchases capability awarding entries for every dollar spent on a Shopify or BigCommerce store, a gallery application for displaying photo and video entries, and social actions with design tools.

Awarding entries per dollar spent is the capability that separates this from ordinary giveaway tooling, and it changes what the promotion measures.

A standard giveaway measures entrants. That is a marketing metric and its relationship to revenue is assumed rather than demonstrated, which is why finance teams are sceptical of them.

Tying entries to purchase value changes the incentive entirely. An entrant who wants more chances buys more, and each additional entry corresponds to actual revenue rather than to a follow. The promotion becomes a sales mechanic with a measurable return rather than an awareness exercise with a hopeful one.

It also changes who enters. Prize hunters who enter everything for free will not spend money to improve their odds, so the entrant pool skews toward people willing to buy from you, which is the population worth acquiring.

The legal position deserves particular care here. Requiring purchase to enter converts a sweepstakes into a lottery in many jurisdictions, which is unlawful without a licence. Promotions of this type normally require a free alternative entry route of equal standing, and the rules differ by territory. This is the mechanic most likely to create a genuine legal problem if run without advice.

The gallery application addresses photo and video contests, where the entries themselves become content the brand can display and reuse.

Pricing is published at $49 with $199 above it, and a risk-free trial with no contract.
