What is a Contest Box?

KickoffLabs Contest Boxes allow you setup viral contests on your site in minutes without any technical knowledge!

They support every KickoffLabs campaign type and can be customized to include campaign actions, rewards, leaderboards, and customer referral mechanics. Contest Box can currently be triggered as a pop-up or embedded into a page or section of your website.

Below we’ll walk you through, step by step, customizing your contest box and preparing for installation.

Editing Your Contest Box – When you Chose a Contest Box Flow

During the initial campaign set-up, if you selected the contest box embed or pop-up for where leads should sign-up, follow along with the below steps. If you instead chose a landing page set-up, skip over to the next section.

From your campaign dashboard, select to design  the contest box.

Editing Your Contest Box – When you Chose a Landing Page

During the initial campaign set-up, if you selected the landing page flow for where leads should sign-up, the contest box editor will instead be located underneath the campaign landing pages.

Contest Box Editor Options

 

Basics

On the “Basics” tab you can customize the following:

Contest Box Pop-up Modes

• • Full: Full mode will display the opt in form and show the lead their status all within the box
  • Status Only: Displays the box once a lead has signed up (such as on a KickoffLabs landing page or page connected via Anyform)
  • Embed Only: This option is if you would like the contest box to be embedded into a section/page. When turned on, contest box will no longer pop-up.

Open Contest Box Automatically

Choose to have the contest box triggered manually (button click) or set the contest box to pop open on a timer.

Contest Box Branding

Set the Call to Action Text, Hero Image, background color and brand accent color for your Contest Box

Position on Page

Select which side of the footer you’d like Contest Box to appear on (left or right). By default we set contest box to install on the bottom right corner of the page.

Next, select which elements to show in your widget (next reward, rank, total leads, countdown, leaderboard) Don’t forget to set-up your campaign wide reward levels, actions, and scoring for your contest! You can find these settings at the bottom of the “basics” page.

 

Form

Next, tab over to the “Form”. Similar to editing a form in the KickoffLabs editor you have the options to add custom fields such as phone number, dropdowns, multiple choice etc. At the bottom of the form settings, you can also customize the button text.

Text/Localization

The “text/localization” setting allows you to customize the text inside of the box and the notification bar and set a Google Font to use. Toward the bottom of the settings, you can also set the notification bar text.

Advanced

In this area you can specify which pages of the website to NOT display contest box on. This is useful for builders that install the contest box globally instead of page by page.

We also have an option to change the notification icon in the Contest Box pill button.

Installation/Embed

Here is where we house the Contest Box script/s once you’re ready to install! This is also available on the campaign dashboard for easy access if you chose a contest box campaign.
