How to Create a Ranking by Points Competition

1. Introduction.

With Cool Tabs, you can create a contest that displays a ranking of the participants who have earned the most points for performing certain actions in the campaign, such as bringing referrals.

The users with the most points will have more chances to win.

The Cool Promo and Cool Promo White Label applications, included in the Gold and Diamond plans, respectively, allow you to set up this type of campaign.

2. Step by Step.

2.1. Create your campaign.

Go to Cool Tabs, create a new campaign and select the Cool Promo or Cool Promo White Label application. 

Complete the first sections of your campaign (registration, basic information, design, dates...). If you have any questions or doubts during the process, don't hesitate to contact us at help@cool-tabs.com

We'll also leave you with these tutorials, in which we explain what you can include in each section in greater detail:

2.2. Data form.

In the 'Form' section of your campaign edition, you can activate all the fields that you want the user to fill in. After completing the game, the data form will be displayed.

2.3. Virality score.

This is the most important section in the competition setup for a ranking by points competition. It is where we decide how many points we give our participants for each viral action and which actions we give more points for.

2.4. Other configurations.

2.4.1. Legal bases.

If you have activated the data form, do not forget to upload your legal terms. You can copy and paste the text, and attach a downloadable PDF or Word file.

You have additional checkboxes for commercial communications, social profiling...

2.4.2. Go viral!

In this section, we would only have to fill in what we would like the tweet or post to say when users share the competition on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram. We can also add accounts that we would like the tweets or posts to be associated with, as well as the pop-up suggesting the participants to follow our different social networks. 

This last section is used for choosing whether to activate comments for the campaign; send an email to participants to encourage them to spread the competition to earn points; activate posts on users’ walls or the ‘share’ pop-up that appears after having entered the competition; as well as configure the title and the text that appear when users share the competition or the fact that they have taken part in it. In this type of competition, this last part is especially important as it will attract potential participants and voters.

Those fans who participate, will have a final screen like the one we showed, which can be accessed by clicking on "View ranking" on the main page of the campaign to see how many points they have achieved.

3. Other specifications.

We remind you that for a user to get a referral, they must complete the contest, otherwise, they will not count as a referral.
