When should I run a print giveaway for maximum impact?

The best time to run a giveaway is when you already have momentum and attention on your page. For example, right after you’ve had a viral video that brought significant new viewers and engagement to your profile. Running a giveaway when you have little audience or before building brand presence typically results in low signups. Build your following first through consistent content, then leverage a giveaway to convert that existing attention into email subscribers. A giveaway without publicity and an established audience won’t be effective.
