Available Sweepstakes Services

CMS's range of Sweepstakes Management Capabilities includes:

• Rules Creation. CMS is flexible in meeting your needs for legal rules creation - customized rules can be drafted with help from promotional legal specialists or due diligence can be performed to ensure that the rules you provide comply with applicable state legislation. Also, for age-restricted products and product with other special regulations, CMS can help ensure that your promotion remains in compliance.
• State Filing & Bonding. As with all of CMS's promotions logistics services, you get assistance navigating the varying promotional requirements of individual states. Certain states require the completion of a filing process, the submission of fees and bonding, and post-campaign documentation. CMS can make this process seamless and painless for your next sweepstakes program.
• Entry Management. The scope and accuracy of our data processing capabilities is unparalleled in the promotions management industry. Contest entrants will be accurately captured from a variety of media and distribution methods. Validation of entries will be performed according to your program rules. Our facilities can also capture and compile data gathered through other vendors and media, to ensure that you can turn to a single source for all of your promotional information.
• Winner Selection. Sweepstakes winners are determined through a proprietary randomizer program, designed specifically to meet stringent legal and performance standards. The presence of an objective third-party alleviates many of the complexities that can arise with internally managed promotions.
• Post-Selection Logistics. Upon winner selection, CMS will notify and confirm the winners. Contingencies can be designed to your specification for cases where the winners have moved or are otherwise unreachable. CMS will manage procurement of winner affidavits as well as the appropriate tax documentation when necessary.
• Prize Fulfillment. CMS has the facilities and resources to manage the distribution of the sweepstakes awards, no matter if they are cash, credit cards, premiums or products.
