Creative and copy that asks for votes in your own voice

How do you ask for a vote without sounding like an advert?

You start with the person, not the pitch. A stranger supports an entry when one sentence tells them who made it, why it matters and what the next click does. CoinMarketing Pro writes the request in the entrant's own voice, drawn from a short interview and the material you send, so a supporter hears you and not a copywriting department.

The four lines every request needs

• Who: your name, your craft or business, and one concrete detail that makes you memorable.
• What: the entry itself, in plain words a newcomer understands.
• Why now: the deadline, the current stage of the contest, or a personal reason that is true.
• How: the exact voting steps, including any confirmation email, login or captcha the contest uses.

The last line matters most. A supporter who expects a confirmation email finishes the vote. One who is surprised by it often leaves. Our notes on contests by voting protection type show how the wording changes for each check.

Three tones, tested against each other

We write the same request three ways: personal, craft or cause, and a short plain reminder with the deadline. Week one tells us which tone earns clicks, and the other two are retired or kept for the final days. Starter wording for your own use is in the templates for asking people to vote.

Which creative formats does each platform need?

Each platform rewards a different shape of the same idea, so we cut one concept into the formats below instead of reposting a single file everywhere.

How we choose

We pick two or three formats after reading the contest rules and learning where your voters already are. A small campaign with three well-made formats beats one with ten thin ones. The platform guides explain what each network is good for in a contest, and we use them when we brief the designer and the video editor.

What do you receive, file by file?

You receive a creative pack that your team or ours can publish from, and every item is named so you can find it later. A typical pack for a three-platform campaign looks like this:

• A caption set: the opening post, two follow-ups and a final-days reminder for each platform.
• Short video cuts from your footage, with captions burned in for viewers who watch without sound.
• Image and banner files in the shapes each platform uses, with your entry's name and a clear call to act.
• One supporter email and one messenger text for people who already know you.
• A thank-you post for the day the contest closes, written in advance so it goes out on time.
• A one-page voice note describing your tone, so a later contest does not start from zero.

What we need from you

Send your best original material and tell us who is in it. We work only with images, footage and music that you own or have permission to use, and we ask you to confirm that for every file. If anyone under the age of majority appears, a parent or guardian must agree in writing before we publish, and we follow each platform's age and privacy rules.

If you also want the ads that carry this creative to run for you, the paid promotion service uses the same files.

How does approval work before anything goes live?

Nothing is published without your sign-off. The flow has three passes, and each has an owner on both sides.

1. Draft pass. You receive the full set at once, so you judge the voice across all pieces and not one at a time.
2. Edit pass. You mark what sounds wrong, we revise, and the writer who made the draft makes the changes. One consolidated round is included; the number of further rounds is agreed in the quote.
3. Rules pass. Before final files are released we read each piece against the contest's terms: required hashtags, wording the organizer restricts, prize mentions, and how the voting steps are described.

What gets rejected at the rules pass

• A caption that implies a vote is guaranteed or that the organizer endorses the entry.
• A banner that hides the deadline or the voting steps.
• Music or footage whose ownership cannot be confirmed.
• Any text that pressures supporters to vote more than once where the contest allows one vote.

If the terms are unclear we list the questions for you to put to the organizer, and our rules and risk consulting service can read the terms with you before creative work begins.

How is creative work reported and billed?

Creative is reported by what was delivered and what the platforms' own analytics recorded about it. After the first week we send a short note that shows which caption, image or clip earned the most clicks to your entry page, and we use it to retire weak pieces and extend strong ones.

Billing has one or two lines. The first is our fee for interview, writing, design, editing and revisions, quoted on request after we know the number of platforms, formats and video cuts. The second applies only when ads carry the creative: ad spend is paid to the advertising platform, agreed with you in advance and invoiced separately, so you can see both numbers. We confirm the quote in writing before work starts.

Keeping the work

The copy, files and voice note are yours at handover. You can republish them, hand them to a volunteer or reuse them at the next contest. The budget planner is the quickest way to get a range and a thirty-minute strategy call before you commit.

Where does creative stop helping, and what should you send first?

Creative can make an honest ask clear, quick to act on and pleasant to share, but it cannot make a stranger vote, shorten a confirmation step, or change what the organizer allows. We shape the message around how much effort your contest's voting asks of a supporter and tell you early when the effort is the real obstacle.

The first step is small. Send the contest link and rules, the link to your entry, the deadline with its time zone, and three pieces of your best material through the free contest analysis. We reply with the rules read, the formats we would make first and a written quote you can approve or decline.

How it works

1. Intake interviewA short call or form about who you are, what the entry is and who should care. We read the contest terms alongside it.
2. Angles and voice noteWe propose three tones for the vote request and a one-page voice note for your approval.
3. Drafts for each platformCaptions, video cuts, banners and one email and messenger text, delivered together so you judge the whole set.
4. Your edits and the rules passYou mark changes, we revise, and we check every piece against the contest terms.
5. Handover and week-one refreshYou receive named files. After the first week we retire weak pieces and extend the ones that earn clicks.
