Why Contest Management Software Can Give your Brand a Boost

The best reason for a company to develop or sponsor a contest platform is that it will result in new products or services that will benefit others. That’s the driver behind most challenges. However, there are other benefits of innovation competitions.

Companies that are involved in these events find that they are a great way to connect with their target audience, especially youth and young adults. Why? This demographic tends to be creative, motivated, and interested in establishing a relationship with the brands they follow. In particular, here’s why innovation competitions can give your brand a boost:

Competitions expose a wide audience to your brand

Not only do those who participate in a challenge get to know your brand, but the ripple effect can be powerful. When a participant talks with family members, friends, and coworkers about the event, those people have a new awareness of your company.

Study Behind KaBOOM! Contest Platform to Make Cities More Playable

Kids need imagination and an active life. Without it, their development is limited. Many studies have shown that it is crucial for kids to have more active play in their life because children really need that stimulation to help build a creative mind. That’s why KaBOOM!, a competition set up by Skild’s contest management software, has created a challenge aimed at finding a solution to this problem. The KaBOOM! contest platform has built this challenge in hope to find the best ways to incorporate play for kids in everyday situations. Some of those ways could be placed in:

• Sidewalks
• Vacant lots
• Bus stops
• Open streets

Unfortunately, not all children are lucky enough to get a lot of playtime. Depending on the community that they are born into, they may get less time for play outside because they are located somewhere that isn’t safe.
