Creating Offers and Giveaways

Written by Benjamin Dell

Offers, freebies and giveaways are event perks. Use them to share redemption instructions, files, links, prize draws or presenter and sponsor promotions. A freebie is an offer that is free to redeem.


​

Create a perk

  1. Go to Marketing > Offers & Giveaways and select Add Offer or Giveaway. In the Add a perk window, choose Create a new perk.

  2. On Details, choose Offer, Freebie or Giveaway. Add its title, description and any optional icon or image.

  3. On Visibility, optionally choose Restrict to Tickets? or a Custom Group for the Perks page. Hide From Main Perk List? removes it from that main page while allowing linked session, presenter or sponsor pages to show it. Include on All Session Pages? makes it available across session pages, subject to the perk display rules.

  4. On Provider, choose who supplies it. The organiser is the default when no provider is linked. You can select Sessions, Presenters or Sponsors, or enter a provider name, link and logo. Set Show who is providing this perk? to No to hide the Offered by attribution.

  5. Complete Redemption and winners, then select Save.

Reuse a saved perk

  1. Go to Marketing > Offers & Giveaways > Add Offer or Giveaway and choose Add from perk library. If it is unavailable, an account owner needs to save a perk to the library first.

  2. Choose the saved perk to add an event copy, then review its content and redemption details.

  3. Set ticket access, event providers and giveaway schedules separately for this event, then save.


​

Add a perk offers Create a new perk and Add from perk library. The library option is unavailable until a perk has been saved.


​

  • Account owners can open a perk's Details > Perk library section, select Save to perk library, then save. For a perk linked to a saved template, Update perk library updates that template.

  • Event team members can import saved perks and edit their event copies. The account library save and update controls are reserved for account owners.

  • Updating a saved template leaves existing event copies unchanged. Editing an event copy does not update the template unless an account owner explicitly selects Update perk library.


​

Redeeming offers and freebies

Add written Redemption Instructions and either a Redemption URL or a Redemption file, with a documented maximum file size of 10MB. The form rejects a URL and file used together. Redemption Button Text defaults to Redeem Offer. Direct Button Click? bypasses the instructions drawer and opens the URL or file, so one of those is required. Attendees must complete registration and have any required ticket access to see the redemption details; authorised event-team roles can also access them.

Time a session promotion

  1. In the organiser editor, open Visibility > Session promotion.

  2. Select the Sessions where the banner should appear.

  3. Set Show the banner to Before the session ends or After the session starts, then enter the matching minutes and select Save.


​

An offset of 0 means the scheduled start or end. Timing follows the session clock, so pausing or seeking a video does not move it. Existing promotions retain their earlier end-based offset, normally 15 minutes before the end. These timing controls belong to the organiser editor.

Choose giveaway rules

For a Giveaway, set Quantity Available to at least 1 in Redemption and winners. Choose event default scheduling, a custom date and time, or manual generation. Open Giveaway Settings on Marketing > Offers & Giveaways for automatic generation, session timing, attendance, bundles and repeat-winner settings. For a predictable event-level draw, set an explicit event/bundle date and time rather than relying on a blank date. If attendance is required, live or replay attendance is checked across the linked sessions for a separate session draw, or across the event for an event-wide or bundled draw. In-person eligibility uses a scanned event ticket. Separate giveaways respect their ticket restrictions; a bundled draw uses event-wide eligibility and does not combine each prize's individual ticket restriction.


​

Let presenters add perks

Go to Event Settings > Event Experience > Presenter Experience. Enable Create Giveaways & Offers? and Enable Content Editing?, then Save. Presenters also need an invitation to their Speaker Dashboard. They add their own perks from its sidebar Offers and Giveaways page. See where perks appear for placement and access details.
