The contest option will prevent contacts from joining a campaign more than the allotted amount. This can be used to block multiple entries or prevent customers from trying to rejoin a campaign. 


Step 1. 

Edit the campaign and go into the Opt-In Management tab and turn this section ON




Step 2. 

Click the radio button to select Contest.


 

Note: A campaign cannot activate both contest and loyalty. 



Step 3. 

Use the available fields to set how many entries are allowed per person and how often they can enter. Enter a Max Reached Text Message that will go out to contacts that exceed the allowed entries.  




Note: For example, select 1 entry in Forever OR 3 entries per day. Make sure to use end of calendar day to allow people to enter the next day. When # Days is selected, the system is programmed to wait exactly 24 hours before allowing the customer to re-enter.  



Step 4. 

Click the UPDATE button to save the settings.
