The prompt · ChatGPT
Help me run a giveaway that attracts local people likely to become customers. My business: [what you do and where] Prize: [e.g. a voucher, a free service, a hamper] Who I want to reach: [e.g. families within 5 miles] Where I'll run it: [e.g. Instagram, Facebook page, in the shop] Closing date: [date] How I'll pick the winner: [e.g. random draw] Ask me up to 3 short questions first. Wait for my answers. Then: 1. Suggest a prize and entry method that appeals to locals, not competition hunters. 2. Write the giveaway post. 3. Write short, clear rules: who can enter, closing date, how the winner is picked and told, and what happens if they don't reply. 4. Write the winner announcement and the message to the winner. 5. Write a follow-up offer for everyone who didn't win. 6. Remind me to check the platform's own promotion rules and the CAP Code's rules on promotions and prize draws, and name where to find them. Fair and clear, no tricks. This is help with wording, not legal advice. UK English. Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.
