How To Use Coupons To Encourage Interaction On Your Blog

Every single comment your reader makes on your blog has its value, every single email you get can make an impact and every single share of your blog post can lead to additional traffic and subscribers. The problem with this however is that getting people to interact with your blog or brand on or off your blog is not automatic. 
Using coupons and special offers effectively can encourage and increase interaction on a your  blog. This article will be giving you some tips on how to use coupons effectively to encourage interaction on your blog.


RUN REGULAR CONTESTS

The first step you have to take is to run regular contests. Look for a particular day in a month or a particular month in a year. Also look for a creative way to run contests and make sure you run the contests regularly. For example, one great kind of contest you can run on your blog is a top commentator contest in which you will be giving the person who has the most comments a particular prize every month. Another kind of contest is that in which you allow a lot of people to guest post and then give the person whose post has the most comments and traffic a prize. The comments contest can be every month and the guest post contest can be once in a year. Either ways, it is up to you to observe your audience and work on doing what works best for them.

MAKE IT A REQUIREMENT TO COMMENT ON YOUR BLOG AND SHARE YOUR CONTENT

The next step you have to take when using coupon contests to encourage interaction on your blog is to make it a requirement to comment on your blog and share your blog posts. That way you will be able to create more awareness about your contest and let people see that your blog has a lot of interaction going around it – over time new readers to your blog will see it as a place for them to talk and interact and your brand will grow significantly as time goes on.

MAKE SURE YOU ONLY GIVE COUPONS TO ATTRACTIVE PRODUCTS

A lot of people run coupon contests and then wonder why they don’t get results. The key to getting more people to participate in your coupon contest isn’t just to be giving coupons to products that can be found anywhere or products that people don’t value but to give coupons to products people are willing to pay for. Make sure you understand your readers to see what product they would like to buy the most; you can then give them a huge discount for this product to get them to participate in the contest.
