Social Proof App for ShortStack

Let your giveaway show the crowd it's drawing

ShortStack social proof from WiserNotify puts each new contest entry on your campaign page as it happens, with a running total of everyone who's in. People who arrive from a shared link see a contest that's alive, not a form waiting for its first name.

Who it's for

ShortStack social proof for the people who run contests

Brands giving away a product

You trade a prize for emails to grow your list fast. The more entries a visitor sees, the more the prize feels worth a minute of their time.

Agencies running client contests

You launch several campaigns a month for different clients. A visible entry counter is an easy win to point to when the client asks how it's going.

Media, venues and nonprofits

Ticket draws, sweepstakes and fundraiser raffles live or die on turnout. Showing entries rolling in gives your audience a reason to join before it closes.

Problems we solve

A quiet contest page looks like nobody will win

The problem

Visitors suspect the giveaway is a list grab

An entry form with no sign of other people reads as a trick. Live entry notifications from the same page show real neighbors taking part.

The problem

Shared links land on a page with no momentum

Friends who click a shared link don't know thousands have already entered. An entry counter puts the number on screen within seconds of arrival.

The problem

Entries spike on day one, then flatten

Launch traffic enters fast, and the middle weeks go slow. A countdown timer to the close date gives late visitors a reason to enter today instead of "later".

FAQ

Social proof app for ShortStack FAQ

How do I add WiserNotify to a ShortStack campaign?

Paste the WiserNotify pixel into the campaign through ShortStack's custom code or tracking option and republish. There's no API key or webhook to set up.

What do entry notifications show?

The entrant's name in the format you choose, their location and how long ago they entered. You can also show a running total of entries.

Can I count down to the contest close?

Yes. A countdown timer runs from the same pixel, so it can sit alongside entry popups in the final days.

Do entrants' full names appear?

Only if you want them to. Show a first name, “Sarah M.”, initials or just “Someone”.

Will the pixel slow down my contest page?

No. It loads after the page, so the entry form appears first.

Is there a free plan?

No, but every plan has a 7-day free trial. Plans start at $59 a year.
