Perhaps you have recently launched a new website for your business, and you want to see if your viewers are paying attention and know how to navigate through your site. What better way to drive some traffic to your site AND add a little bit of fun to it by running a contest with your users??
How would this all work? First, you would need to start by making a call out on your website for the contest and to get people to enter in their contact information to enter the contest, as well as provide users confirmation on when the contest would take place. Once you have gathered everybody’s cell phone numbers, you can use an easy-to-use tool like TextClues in order to create an easy text message scavenger hunt across your website. All you would need to do is enter the cell phone #s that have chosen to enter the contest, create a few scavenger hunt questions across your website and away you go! The individual that completes the scavenger hunt first would win the prize :) TextClues has a dashboard which can specifically tell you when an individual has completed a scavenger hunt, and at what time, so you do not need to track any of this information on your own.
Here’s an example of how you could create a scavenger hunt contest across your site:

And the questions can continue for various other sections of your site…
