ViralSweep Reviews & Product Details

The Customer Service has been fantastic. We as a business were new to the Sweepstakes promotion mechanics and I as the manager of the competition backend only had experience setting up one other similar competition. The support from ViralSweep in answering every single question I had was absolutely amazing. There were no short answers or overly technical explanations, but rather great logic and simple answers that made implementing the desired changes so easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not much really. Possibly a couple more analytics functions. There could be a better break down of the different bonus entries, with segregated data on the different tasks customers have to perform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is no better marketing tool than word of mouth, and ViralSweep helps to improve your online word of mouth reach by incentivizing your current and new subscribers to share your products/services. It's very effective for companies who are in a niche industry as finding new, relevant leads or targeted audiences can be a challenge - especially on a local or regional level.

For the low cost of $199/month + the cost of your prizes/giveaway, you can quickly add new subscribers and convert those people into new customers. While it may seem expensive to some, it takes very little time to see a large ROI when done correctly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the design features can feel a bit outdated, but this can be effectively managed using CSS. It can take a while to setup a new promotion, but it ultimately is time well spent.

The only other dislike I have is iOS devices can have some trouble viewing the window initially and require a "click to enable" the form. For some users, I'm sure this feels like a potential security risk and they will inevitably bounce from the landing page. That said, we usually see only a small percentage of bounces and a strong landing page → subscribe conversion rate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how simple it is to change things after you've launched a sweepstakes, giveaways and contests. We often use our contest to garner emails at home and garden shows. I can make a change to add shows, remove dates or alter the content within drop downs, background images and CTAs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are a few features, simple as they may be, like changing your color scheme that would be nice to have, but you have to upgrade your package. I find the standard package serves us just fine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Two things stood out to me mostly for Viralsweep. One is that the designs and delivery of the sign-up widgets are extremely clean, developer friendly, and have a decent load speed. The other game changer for us was the ability to make a custom action. We included the option for people to receive extra entries if they bought an item. Implementing this custom action was so easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Literally, one small thing, the out of the box social share features don't stand out as much as other platforms,. However, they're easily editable when working with someone with a basic knowledge of HTML/CSS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how easy it is to set up and use. The builder is easy to customize as well. I like that it allows you to either just collect emails or provide an area for "bonus points" to help grow other areas of the business such as social media accounts and YouTube videos. Past sweepstakes are also easy to view and the process of downloading entries and bonus actions is incredibly easy. The platform also offers an entire network to connect with as partners, we haven't used this feature yet but can see how it would be beneficial for users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is very little to dislike about Viralsweep. Overall the platform is easy to use and the support team is very responsive. The only issue I am having now is integration with our email platform, but it's ok as you can download the sweepstakes after it ends (or during) to import. There have also been occasional times where an entrant has had issues with a submission. Viralsweep has been quick to make adjustments when suspected as spam yet was real. Sometimes it's hard to tell if it's a user error or platform error but the team has always helped troubleshoot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ease of use and great customer service. Problems (though rare) are always addressed quickly. Implementation is smooth and easy. We use it for a couple of different types of sweeps, and have been happy withe functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

no complaints on the product. it does what it promises right out of the box. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Great customer service, and ability to pause the service when not using it. We do sweepstakes about once a quarter and this is a great software to do it with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Really nothing we dislike- and any time we've had questions, customer service gets back to us whithin an hour to help us fix it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ViralSweep makes it easy to set up a sweepstakes and provides me with all of the flexibility I need to ensure that it works the way I need to grow my audience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At the highest price point for all of the ViralSweep features it is expensive. I prefer the base level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to run multiples campaigns at once and have visibility into the analytics are vital. Also we love how easy it is to create a new campaign, it only takes 30 min! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Don't have much to dislike but as a designer, I noticed hover colors don't work on the widget display. Which is super minor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Professional quality...its works as promised...constantly improving and upgrading the program.... a plethora of options and integrations....and some great additional features like networking with other contest brands and ability to connect with influencers make this the go-to app. I sspent over a dozen hours reviewing other apps and came back to ViralSweep again and again. Don't waste time doing the research...just go with these guys and get on with life...and business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing really...couple of glitches here and there but more often than not they were of my own doing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

None. I think there is room for growth as far as features but that's it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

People in a customer service are super nice and friendly, always want to help, but unfortunately it’s not enough. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At first everything was working great, but afte some time I felt like whatever was working before just stopped working. I saw no progress after a couple of months using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the ease of use of this product and all the great features which the product has to offer its users. I am able to reach such a bigger audience through the social networking capabilities the product offers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do not have any dislikes regarding this product at this time. I am very happy with the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ViralSweep is very easy to use and integrates very well into mailing lists such as mail chimp, all the major social media venues and has great tools to display your giveaways on your own company site. Also like the customization it allows in the creation of each giveaway. It is a great value at it's price point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Don't like the free version of ViralSweep, it is just a tease. You need at least the $50 a month version to make it worth your while. While it offers good customization it could offer some more benefits at the paid level such as a mobile app to monitor and edit your giveaways if you are away from your computer. So if you are a Bigger company it isn't so bad, but if you are a small company then your value for money spent is questionable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It helps me connect to my potential customers in a fun way by arranging sweepstakes and mini contests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The translating feature has been proven wrong for me on a couple of occasions. It is a brilliant idea for a feature but it needs some extra touching. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that it is free, has various types of format (full page, widget, pop up) and it is super straight forward. Plus I also love the incentive to make users follow social media platforms for an additional entry into the sweepstakes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hard to customize appearance but its also free so can't complain too much. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simplicity, pricing and support. You may not ever need to contact them on setting up your giveaway, but when you do they are always ready to help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing at the moment, but addition to power settings in the future would be great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
