How to run a RT contest on Like a Bird Apps ?

Why choose a RT contest?

It’s the most creative contest on Twitter : people have to create a sentence about a specific theme. Each participant has to collect RT on their tweet. The more RT they have , the more they have a chance to win and the more your brand is exposed on Twitter. The key thing here is that you will engage your direct followers, but if they want to have a chance to win, they will have to engage their own community as well!

This operation will lead you to a very high engagement rate !

How does it work ?

Well, it could not be simpler:

You log in your Like a Bird Apps dashboard and click on the “Create this contest” button :

You now only have to configure your campaign from the campaign form:

Announcement tweet describing the rules
Starting/Ending date and hour,
Reminder tweets
Mandatory follow

And then it starts :

Tweet an original tweet with #RetweetContest + our mention ! The most retweeted tweet will win our eternal gratitude !
