You can start a new promotion from the Revup dashboard and then complete the setup in the promotion builder.

Before you start

Decide what you want the participant to do and what they receive in return. For example: submit a form for a chance to win, upload a photo, receive an immediate result, or earn entries from a Shopify purchase.

You also need permission to create promotions in the selected Revup account.

Create the promotion

1. Open the Revup dashboard.
2. Select Create Promotion.
3. Choose a product type:
   • Sweepstakes / Giveaway
   • Contest
   • Form
   • Instant Win
   • Purchase Sweepstakes
4. Enter a clear internal name. Customers do not need to see the same name you use to organize the promotion.
5. Choose Start from scratch to configure everything yourself, or use RevAssist when you want a branded starting point.
6. Select Create to open the promotion builder.

What happens next

Revup creates the basic promotion, design, and form records for the product you selected. The builder only shows settings that apply to that product. For example, a Form does not show winner tools, while a Contest adds moderation, voting, and gallery options.

Work through the builder from setup to install. Your promotion remains editable while you configure it, so creating it does not make it public.

Recommended next steps

1. Set the promotion dates and timezone.
2. Add or review prizes and eligibility when applicable.
3. Build the entry or submission form.
4. Customize the content and design.
5. Configure product-specific features such as contest voting, Instant Win prizes, or purchase entry rules.
6. Connect integrations.
7. Preview every state, including success and losing content.
8. Complete the launch checklist before publishing.

If you selected the wrong product, create a new promotion with the correct type. Product types have different data and management tools and are not intended to be converted after creation.
