Purpose

Greater Good approached Contest Factory looking for a partner to design and develop its planned Shelter Challenge website. Greater Good envisioned an online destination where members of the public could discover, vote for, and support their favorite animal shelters across the country. The organization needed a flexible platform that could support recurring promotions while making it easy to manage official rules and connect each campaign with a nationwide directory of animal shelters.

Plan

The plan was to create a dedicated Shelter Challenge website powered by Contest Factory’s contest engine. Greater Good needed the ability to maintain its full shelter directory within the site and independently set up and launch new contests from a centralized administrative dashboard. Each campaign would allow the public to vote for participating shelters, with the winning organizations receiving prizes to further their work supporting animals in need.

Solution

Contest Factory designed, developed, and launched the Shelter Challenge website using its contest engine platform. The system integrated Greater Good’s nationwide animal-shelter directory directly into the site, allowing shelters to participate in campaigns and giving the public an easy way to find and vote for the organizations they wanted to support. Through its own back-end dashboard, the Greater Good team could easily create, configure, and manage contests without rebuilding the site for each new campaign. The platform also gave Greater Good the ability to house official rules within the website and administer multiple promotions through one connected system. This self-service approach provided the flexibility Greater Good needed to run new Shelter Challenge campaigns efficiently while maintaining a consistent experience for shelters and voters.

Results

The Shelter Challenge website was a success and became a long-term platform for Greater Good’s promotional programs. Greater Good used the site to run dozens of contest and sweepstakes campaigns, engage supporters across the country, and award thousands of dollars in prizes to deserving animal shelters. Contest Factory’s contest engine gave Greater Good a scalable, easy-to-manage system that helped turn public participation into meaningful support for animal-welfare organizations nationwide.

In the client’s words.

“
The team at Contest Factory have been a joy to work with. We came to them with an idea for a totally custom, feature-rich contest site. They built it quickly and affordably and maintained the site for us for several years. Whenever we needed a new feature developed or just a question answered, they were always super responsive and helpful. Their platform and support team helped us award hundreds of thousands of dollars to deserving shelters and make a real difference for shelter pets. I can’t recommend them enough.
