Encourage your users to give you a direct.

Contests and giveaways help brands of all sizes achieve their goals faster. People love free stuff, and they‘re willing to fill out a survey for a chance to get something for nothing. This is where you can boost creativity and use the “how to enter” section to ask followers to share their thoughts about your product as one of the participation requirements.

Creating engaging video content, like an IGTV series, helps humanize your brand and verbally encourage participation and feedback in the comments.
