Create the Code Giveaway
From the Campaigns screen, select the template type – Landing Pages.
Then choose Code Giveaway from the campaign types.
Add a Title
Next, add a title or name in the “Enter a title for your Experience” field and click Continue.
Design tab
After clicking Continue, you’ll be taken to the Design tab where you can add backgrounds, images, videos, and customize the campaign’s Form Element.
You can switch between the Entry and Voucher pages by clicking on those options in the top left.
By clicking Add New Element in the left navigation, you can add images, videos, text, and more.
Clicking directly on an existing element allows you to edit that element. Clicking on the Voucher Element allows you to display the expiration date, display the Redeem button and add your e-commerce site’s URL for redemption, and edit the language for that element.

Customizing the Form Fields
While in the Design section, click on the Form element itself, or the Form Fields area in the left sidebar, then click Add Form Field to add fields. Click directly on an existing field to edit that specific field.
Once a user has successfully entered, they will be directed to the Voucher page. This page acts as confirmation that the user has successfully entered and displays the entrant’s code. Be sure to customize your post-entry message and add a share element to encourage sharing.

Click the Edit button above the Status section to set the start and end dates of the experience’s entry period.
Select the dates and times, then click Save.
Click Edit above the Sharing section to customize the sharing image, title, and description for your experience URL.
