Do entrants have to stay on the page to earn the entries?

No. The entries are added when they click the button. To reward a full view of a video instead, use Watch a Video , which pays out only when the video ends.

Can entrants earn entries for visiting every day?

Yes. Switch on Allow Daily and the action unlocks again 24 hours after each click. The widget tells entrants how many hours are left. See how to set up a giveaway on Shopify .

Can I see the visits in Google Analytics?

Yes. Add UTM parameters to the page URL, such as ?utm_source=giveaway&utm_medium=entry-action, and the visits show up as their own source. See how to add Google Analytics to your giveaway .

How do I give giveaway entries for visiting a page?

Quick answer

Add the Visit a Page entry action, enter the page URL and a button label. When an entrant clicks the button, the page opens in a new tab and the entries are added straight away. Use it to send giveaway traffic to a new collection, a launch, a blog post or a partner's store, with Allow Daily for daily visits.

Visit a Page sends entrants to any page you choose and rewards them for going. It's the simplest way to point giveaway traffic at the page that matters most to you this week.

How does Visit a Page work?

The entrant opens the action and reads your description.
They click the button, and the page opens in a new tab, so the giveaway stays open behind it.
The entries are added straight away. Giveaway Ninja doesn't measure how long they stay on the page.

With Allow Daily switched on, the action unlocks again 24 hours after each click, and the widget shows entrants when they can come back.

How do I set up Visit a Page?

Edit your giveaway, open the ENTRY ACTIONS tab and click Visit a Page in the Get More Traffic group.
Enter the Page URL. It starts as your store's home page.
Write the Title, the Description and the Action button label. Tell people what they'll find: "See the new Autumn collection" beats "Visit our page".
Set the Value, and switch on Mandatory or Allow Daily if you need them.
Click the small SAVE button, then save the giveaway.

You can add several Visit a Page actions to the same giveaway, one for each page you want to promote.

How can Visit a Page help my brand?

Launch day traffic. Point it at a new product or collection, so the giveaway crowd sees your launch first.
A daily habit. Link a "deal of the day" or a new-arrivals page with Allow Daily on. Entrants come back every day for the entry and see what's new each time.
Content that sells. Send people to a buying guide, a size guide or a recipe that uses your product. Shoppers who learn about the product buy with more confidence.
Collab giveaways. Running a giveaway with a partner brand? Each of you adds a Visit a Page action to the other's store, and both get new visitors.
Your other channels. Link your loyalty program sign-up or your app download page to move giveaway fans into channels you own.
Measured traffic. Add UTM parameters to the URL so the visits appear as their own source in Google Analytics.

Tip: need proof that the entrant did something on the page, such as joining a community or finding a code? Use a custom action or Answer a Question instead, since Visit a Page rewards the click only.
