Where offers, giveaways, and freebies appear

Written by Benjamin Dell

Offers, giveaways, and freebies are all managed from Content > Offers and Giveaways. In HeySummit, a freebie is an offer that is free to redeem.

Where a perk appears depends on its type, attribution, linked talk or speaker, ticket restrictions, and whether you choose to hide it from the main perks list.

Main Perks page

When you create at least one visible offer, giveaway, freebie, or custom perk group, HeySummit can show a public Perks page for the event.

By default, the Perks page groups perks into tabs such as Exclusive Offers, Prize Draw Giveaways, Freebies, and any custom groups you create. If your perks page is configured to show all perks in one list, HeySummit combines those groups into a single list instead.

If you turn on Hide From Main Perk List? for a perk, it will not appear on the main Perks page. It can still appear on linked talk, speaker, or sponsor pages when those links apply.

Talk pages and live broadcast pages

Perks linked to a talk can appear on that talk's page as Exclusive Perks. They can also appear as call-to-action promotions near the end of selected live broadcasts if you add the talk under Talk Call-to-Actions.

On talk list and replay list cards, HeySummit can show an exclusive-offer style badge when a talk has a relevant perk. For future talks, this includes any attached perk. For past/replay talks, offer perks are used for the badge.

Speaker and sponsor pages

Perks attributed directly to a speaker, or linked to a talk that includes that speaker, can appear on the speaker's public page. Offers remain visible; giveaways appear while the linked talk is still upcoming or in progress.

Perks attributed to a sponsor can appear on that sponsor's public page.

Speaker list cards can show an award badge when a speaker has a direct perk. If the perk is linked only through one of their talks, the perk can still appear on the speaker page, but the speaker-list badge depends on the speaker-level perk flag.

Registration, access, and redemption

Perks can be restricted to specific tickets. When a visitor does not have access, HeySummit can show that a ticket is required instead of showing redemption details.

Redemption instructions, redemption URLs, and downloadable files are shown only after the attendee has registered and has access to the perk.

Giveaways are time-sensitive. Event-level and talk-level giveaways are shown only while they are still relevant, and winners are generated according to the event or giveaway winner settings.
