What it is
ViralSweep is a marketing platform for promotions intended to grow email and SMS lists, raise engagement, and generate sales. Campaign types include sweepstakes, contests, instant-win promotions, purchases, waitlists, milestones, hashtags, galleries, email forms, and comment promotions. The Sweepstakes App supports customizable entry forms, bonus entries for social actions, website embeds, hosted links, analytics in real time, and random winner selection. Paid plans include unlimited promotions and entries, but purchase order allowances vary by plan. Starter costs $41 a month with annual billing or $49 a month with monthly billing; both list 100 purchase orders. Each selected plan starts with a 7-day trial, after which billing begins unless ended earlier. Basic integrations include Mailchimp, Klaviyo, Shopify Email, and ActiveCampaign; premium integrations include HubSpot, Salesforce, Zapier, and Google Analytics. The API can add and retrieve account data, requires Premium or higher, and uses an API key. Promotions use spam filtering, CAPTCHA, cookie and IP tracking, and background protections to help identify suspicious or duplicate entries. Support includes live chat during business hours, email, scheduled calls, and documentation.
