Readers enter with their email and choose whether to subscribe through a separate consent box. Referral bonus entries encourage them to share, and opted-in readers sync to your connected email platform. ### Can a giveaway help grow our newsletter? Yes. Collect entries and email marketing consent through a branded Sweepstakes. Add referral entries to encourage sharing, then send opted-in readers to a connected email platform. ### Can we embed a promotion in our publication? Yes. Embed a promotion on your website or share its hosted URL in an article, newsletter, or social post. Revup also provides a ready-to-use QR code for print placements. ### Will every entrant become a newsletter subscriber? Use an opt-in field to collect marketing consent and map it to your connected platform. An entry alone should not be treated as permission for every type of marketing follow-up. ### Does Revup manage paid subscriptions or our paywall? Revup manages promotions and the data people share through them. It does not manage your paywall, billing, or paid subscription access. Keep those in your publishing platform. ### Can we run sponsored reader promotions? Yes. Brand the promotion for the partnership and use tracking links to compare participation by placement. Make any partner data sharing clear in the entry form and promotion terms. ### Can Revup help with rules and winner selection? Yes. Generate official rules, set entry restrictions, and select winners with a recorded draw. Use winner claim forms to collect the details you need to arrange prizes. Review your eligibility, prize details, and rules before launch. ### Can I keep using my email service provider? Yes. Sync promotion entries and consent to your connected marketing platform. Map the fields you collect so your team can follow up in the tools it already uses. ### What does the free trial include?

SMS sending is not available during the trial. No payment method is required, and you won’t be charged automatically. ## Related resources - [Media & Publishing](/solutions/media-publishing/) - [Local News](/solutions/local-news-publishers/) - [Radio Stations](/solutions/radio-stations/) - [Podcasts](/solutions/podcasts/) - [TV Stations](/solutions/tv-stations/) - [All industry solutions](/solutions/) - [Plans and pricing](/pricing/) - [Book a demo](/book-demo/) Examples on the HTML page use fictional brands and illustrative data.
