Launched in 2017, ContestsWP is currently used by hundreds of site owners and developers.

Upon visiting the dealerships website, a user is encouraged to sign up for the dealerships monthly newsletter via the user facing ContestsWP form (ContestsWP Pro can integrate with Mailchimp) and enter their monthly drawing for free oil changes for one year. The user simply enters their name and email address. Once per month, it takes the dealership just a few seconds to randomly pick the winner using the ContestsWP plugin. Since deploying ContestsWP, ABC Autos has seen a 300% increase in newsletter sign ups and has dramatically reduced the staff time needed to run the giveaway.
