Video Contest App
Vancouver, BC (PRWEB) January 15, 2013
Wishpond today announced the launch of its Video Contest app, the only app of its kind that allows retailers and brands to create contests that harness the power of videos on their Facebook Pages, websites and mobile, helping to boost a company’s reach and engagement. For example, a kitchenware store can entice users to create a video of themselves making their favorite dessert with their products. Entrants will be encouraged to invite their friends to vote for their entry to win – pushing the contest’s reach throughout a person’s entire social network.

The Video Contest app boosts Wishpond’s All-In-One Marketing Suite by adding a new way for merchants to entice users to share their videos across all mobile, Web, and social channels. Merchants can now run multi-channel campaigns in tandem. For example, a business can run a Video Contest along with a Photo Contest at the same time on Facebook and Twitter to maximize user participation across different channels
Wishpond’s Video Contest App also integrates directly with the Wishpond Analytics Dashboard.
