PWA for Sweepstakes

Sweepstakes — prize draws, subscriptions and win-an-iPhone offers — work great through an app showcase and push. Cheap installs make the funnel profitable, while spin-wheel prelanders lift engagement. Here is how to build a sweeps funnel in PWA.

What sweepstakes are

Sweepstakes are offers with a prize draw for a simple action: fill a form, take a subscription, leave a contact. The user's entry barrier is low, so volume and lead cost decide. PWA lowers install friction and adds a free return channel through push.

Prelanders and spin wheels

The classic sweeps prelander is a spin wheel or a simple quiz that creates a sense of winning and leads to the form. This warming sharply lifts lead conversion. In PWA prelanders and showcases are easy to split test to find the highest-converting pair per geo.

Cloaking and moderation

Some sweeps offers are moderation-sensitive, so cloaking helps move traffic: the moderator sees a neutral page while targeted traffic sees the draw. Bot and geo filters cut junk traffic that would otherwise hurt offer approval.

Geo and payout models

Sweeps run on Tier-1 (pricier but higher-paying) and cheaper geos for subscriptions. Payout is usually CPL per lead or per confirmed subscription. Localizing the prize and showcase to the geo language noticeably raises response.

Push and closing

Push brings the user back to an unfinished draw and announces new prizes. Trigger series to those who installed but left no contact recover delayed leads. It is a free channel that raises the funnel's overall ROI.
