Redesign of the Kontest admin homepage

We just updated to update the home page of the Kontest platform. Now your fanpages are listed as a mosaic: simply click on one of them to see the competition that you have created. To create a new contest, you have several options: you can click on « Create a contest » at the top of the page or in the last square of the mosaic or visit one of your page and « Add a contest » for this in particular page. The column on the right lists the last posts of our blog so you do not miss any information about Kontest. You can also visit our « Examples » page to get inspired by the creations of our users and customers. We also improved the overall speed of the platform: loadings will be smoother and faster from now. Connect to the Kontest admin to have a look! This update allows us to give you more visibility when managing your competition, and to improve your experience as a user of Kontest. Another update, with more features, is scheduled for later this month. Stay...

Complete edition and sharing customization

We never stop to make new things at Kontest! Here are two features that should delight our users. Complete edition of the competitions Until now, you could not edit your campaign once it was lauched. It was a pity, especially if you wanted to change a couple of words. Now you can change everything even if your competition has already started. However you should consider two things when you want to make a change in your competition: The rules : if you’ve made official rules, careful not to edit items in link therewith. For example, if you withdraw some prizes, they still appear in the rules then you will incur legal risk. You are responsible for the legality of your operation. The contest database : You should know that modifying your competition will also modify the database that you get when your campaign is over. For example, if you add a question in the middle of the contest period, participants’ responses will appear in the database only from the moment you entered this question. You will not have the answers from previous participants, because for them, this question did not exist. Sharing customization We reorganized the way you can customize your shares while giving you more freedom (Only for the Premium plan and the photo contest): By email: Enable or disable email sharing Give or not additional chances to win for each share (5 maximum). Email customization: Subject and message body. You can use the tags {firstname} and {lastname} of the sender to make the message more personal. You can also include the URL of your choice in the message or choose the {url} tag that will be replaced by the URL of the contest on your Facebook page...
