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".
ShortStack notifications
ShortStack giveaway notifications that draw a crowd
New entries from your entry form, running and daily totals, reviews of the prize brand and a close-date countdown, all from one pixel in your campaign.
Giveaway entries
Each new entrant shows with a first name and city. Works best right above the entry form.
Today's entries
A shorter window for the slow middle weeks. Works best when you push the contest again by email.
Prize credibility
Show Google or Facebook reviews of the brand giving the prize away. Works best when the prize is from a newer company.
“Stable on the bay and easy to carry.”

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.
