Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureGiveaways and sweepstakes that reward every purchase and action. Give extra entries for purchases per dollar spent, target specific products or variants, and stack bonus rules for bundles and spending thresholds. Date-range multipliers create urgency at launch and before the campaign ends. Run it on a branded landing page or embed the giveaway widget, ready to capture any traffic you send.
Running a sale is the default move when you want more traffic, more sign-ups, or more purchases. But over time it becomes a trap. Customers learn to wait. Margins get thinner. And the promotion stops feeling special. Sweepstakes work differently. People get genuinely excited. They share them with friends. They come back to see if they won. And you only give away one prize instead of discounting your whole catalog.
