Create Your Own Branded Contest Homepage

CBAwebpage400With BetterBNC, contest admins can quickly and easily create a branded homepage which has all of your contest information. There’s no additional charge for the customizable web page and it’s easy to set up.

In your General Contest Info. section simply click on “Allow Customizable Homepage”, “Submit” and “Design Settings.” Then you’re ready to start building. Choose from pre-made easy templates or build your own using the web-builder tool or your own HTML.  Load images, logos, adjust colors, add text and hyperlinks. Once your page is built, simply distribute that URL to your contest participants.

It’s an easy way to have all of your contest information in one place and be sure to use the Marketing Manager feature (also included in the base price) to send reminders and other messages to judges and contestants.

Here are some samples of contests that have created their customized homepage:

>TN AP Broadcasters & Media Editors

It’s Now EASY to Customize Your Own Contest Homepage

Media and PR contests using BetterBNC can now easily customize their contest landing page to reflect the organization’s branding — including logos, photos, text and graphics. Customizing your contest homepage is quick and easy. Simply click a box on your Admin dashboard then begin designing your own contest homepage.

Several of our contests are already using the new feature including the North Dakota Newspaper Association – click here to see their customized landing page.

CBAwebpage400One of the first organizations to create a branded homepage was the Colorado Broadcasters Association. Its president and CEO Justin Sasso said the new page gave their contest a unique feel and simplified the entry process.

“The customizable homepage allowed us to match our association’s color scheme and edit content so contestants could easily find answers to some of their most common questions,” Sasso told us. “I like that the BetterBNC no longer feels like a third party platform. The ability to link from our website directly to a landing page that can be customized to look and feel like an extension of the Colorado Broadcasters Association’s website, synchronizes the entire process and provides an end-user experience that all contestants should find easier to navigate.”

With pre-made templates, you can select the color scheme, fonts, sizes, logos and photos — even select your own URL address within the system. With the blank template, you can put your design and HTML experience to work using the built-in webpage creator software. There is no additional cost to use this optional feature. You can enable the feature at any time and your contest participants can always access your contest through www.betterbnc.com.
