Rafflecopter

Rafflecopter is a fiercely beloved, incredibly elegant veteran of the contest software industry. While Gleam focuses on massive, complex, multi-action viral loops for hardcore marketers, Rafflecopter achieved massive dominance through a completely opposite philosophy: "Absolute, frictionless simplicity." It is the absolute weapon of choice for a small mommy-blogger or a local bookstore who wants to launch a giveaway in exactly 3 minutes. Its signature feature is "The Zero-Learning-Curve UI." An absolute beginner with zero technical skills can log into Rafflecopter, type the name of the prize, select two entry options (e.g., "Leave a blog comment" or "Tweet a message"), and instantly generate a snippet of HTML code. They paste it into their website, and the contest is live. It mathematically eliminates the terrifying complexity that prevents small creators from engaging their audience. It heavily dominates the "Blog and Affiliate Marketing" sector. Because its widget is incredibly lightweight and unobtrusive, it embeds flawlessly into WordPress blog posts. Furthermore, its "Random Winner Generation" algorithm is trusted globally. With one click, the system mathematically selects a fair winner, eliminating any accusation of bias from the audience.
