Contests and Sweepstakes: Social, Mobile and Web

Comentários: Easy to create/run a contest. Good integration with MailChimp.

Vantagens: I used Heyo to create a birthday party contest for a multiple-location entertainment business. It was fairly simple to set up a campaign and integrate with my Facebook pages. Integration with MailChimp was excellent, making it easy to capture emails and know where they came from.

Desvantagens: The only real downside for me was the pricing structure. It's based, in part, on campaigns. I ran what I would call a single campaign across multiple retail locations - each location having its own FB page - and they considered that multiple campaigns. I was able to work out an arrangement, with them, but this will be a barrier to me using this more often.

Comentários: Honestly, the software was okay. It wasn't phenomenal though and I'm not sure I'd use it over other products similar to it.

Vantagens: I really like the simplicity of it. It is easy to create different layouts though the layouts aren't as flexible as I would like.

Desvantagens: I don't like the pricing model. Having other options besides just a yearly fee would be ideal. It's tough to truly know how much I will use it from a 30 day trial.

Vantagens: Very easy to use; interface is simple for users; powerful list-building tool; encourages tweets to build awareness; helps Facebook community grow; Heyo help is great.

Desvantagens: I'd like to see some enhancements, like the ability to set the launch for a date and time, and the ability to aggregate lists and data over several contests. The contest description field is too short for the terms and conditions I need to publish.

Comentários: Easy Integration

Vantagens: Ease of use, the software easily integrates existing social media pages, making set-up extremely easy.

Desvantagens: Would of liked more options to add various media e.g. video. Other than that, the software is pretty much perfect.

Comentários: It helps our business grow our business and our clients' business. That's serious business!

Vantagens: Easy to use, functional and it does all the dirty work that would otherwise be done through excessive manpower (time and resources). Heyo generates leads effectively and efficiently and allows us to view all new leads in a convenient, downloadable csv file. Really great. The process is seamless and cleanup is a breeze :)

Desvantagens: One improvement would be enhancing the visual look and appeal - but ultimately functionality and simplicity should always win out.
