An editable giveaway template is a professionally designed, goal-based contest layout that allows you to launch a giveaway in minutes by customizing its prize, rules, and entry actions.
Running a giveaway is one of the easiest ways to boost brand awareness, but building everything from scratch can slow you down. Using a template removes all the setup friction.
In this article, I’ll share nine of the best editable templates I use. Each one is ready to go, helping you save time while you grow your audience.
Editable giveaway templates are the fastest way to launch a professional, goal-based giveaway.
They remove the design and setup friction that can slow you down. Instead of building everything from scratch, you can pick a layout already made for your goal, whether that is growing your email list or getting more social media followers.
This approach cuts setup time from hours to minutes. It gives you more time to focus on what matters, like choosing a great prize and promoting your giveaway.
These templates also include built-in automation. They help keep entries fair and save you time managing your contest.
| Benefit | Description |
|---|---|
| Speed | Launch giveaways in minutes |
| Customization | Edit rules, actions, and design easily |
| Flexibility | Use for any goal or platform |
| Control | Manage everything in one place |
I’ve tested a lot of giveaway templates to see which ones actually work. The easiest to customize and launch are the ones built into RafflePress, a drag-and-drop giveaway builder for WordPress that helps you create viral contests without coding.
Each RafflePress template is designed for a specific goal, like growing your email list, boosting followers, or driving engagement. These are the ones I use most because they’re fast, flexible, and deliver real results.
The Classic template is a flexible, all-purpose starting point for any type of giveaway. This makes it ideal if you’re launching your first contest and want to see which social media channels work best for your audience.
It gives you a blank layout you can fully customize, but it also includes the most popular entry actions by default:
That makes it ideal for running a simple social media giveaway or contest.
You can easily add or remove actions, set your own rules, and use any prize you like. It’s perfect if you want full creative control or plan to test different entry options to see what works best.
Who Should Use It: Bloggers, small business owners, or creators who want a flexible starting point that works for any goal.

The Email List template is designed to grow your subscribers with minimal effort.
It includes a single entry action, Join an Email Newsletter, so participants can subscribe directly as part of their entry. You can connect it to your favorite email marketing service like Mailchimp, ConvertKit, or AWeber and collect new leads automatically.
For even better results, you can pair it with bonus actions like Visit a Page, Leave a Comment, or Follow on Instagram to drive extra engagement while growing your list.
Who Should Use It: Marketers and creators focused on growing an engaged subscriber list.

The Refer-a-Friend template is designed to help your giveaway grow through social sharing and word of mouth.
It includes two entry actions: Join an Email Newsletter and Refer a Friend.
With the Refer-a-Friend action, participants can share your giveaway on social media or by email to invite others to enter. They earn bonus entries each time they complete this action, which motivates them to spread the word even further.
You can customize the share text and image that appear on social media and set a referral limit to prevent spam or abuse.
This setup creates a natural word-of-mouth effect that can quickly expand your reach without extra promotion.
This powerful viral template is available in the Pro version of RafflePress.
Who Should Use It: Businesses, creators, or online stores that want to grow their audience through referrals and social sharing.

The Pre-Launch Campaign template helps you build excitement before releasing a new product, service, or website.
It includes four entry actions:
These actions encourage people to connect with your brand, learn more about what’s coming, and stay updated through your social channels.
With the Watch a Video action, your video is embedded directly inside the giveaway widget. Visitors can watch it without leaving your website, which keeps them engaged and increases the chances they’ll complete other actions too.
You can use this template to share sneak peeks, announce launch dates, or collect early signups before your release goes live.
Who Should Use It: Founders, creators, or small businesses preparing for a new launch or major announcement.

The Facebook Giveaway template is built to grow your audience and engagement on Facebook while staying within the platform’s rules.
It includes two entry actions: Visit us on Facebook and View a Facebook Post/Video. These actions encourage people to explore your page and interact with your content naturally. The video or post displays directly inside the giveaway widget, so participants don’t need to leave your website to complete the action.
These actions don’t require users to like, share, or comment to enter, since that goes against Facebook’s promotion policies. Instead, they encourage genuine discovery of your content, helping you build a more authentic audience while keeping your giveaway compliant and safe.
This approach fully complies with Facebook’s giveaway rules while still helping you attract genuine engagement.
Who Should Use It: Brands or businesses that rely on Facebook to grow their community and want to run compliant, high-engagement giveaways.

It includes two entry actions: Visit us on Instagram and View Instagram Post/Video. Participants can explore your profile and view featured posts directly inside the giveaway widget, which keeps them on your site while still connecting them to your Instagram feed.
This template works especially well for showcasing lifestyle images, customer photos, or short video clips that tell your brand’s story. It helps turn casual scrollers into followers who feel connected to what you share.
Who Should Use It: Influencers, lifestyle brands, and visual creators who want to grow an authentic Instagram following through engaging content.

With over 2.7 billion monthly users, YouTube is one of the best places to reach new audiences through video. This template helps you tap into that potential by including two entry actions: Watch a Video and Visit a YouTube Channel.
The video plays directly inside the giveaway widget, so visitors can watch without leaving your website. It’s perfect for promoting tutorials, product demos, or new uploads while encouraging viewers to subscribe and come back for more.
Who Should Use It: YouTubers, educators, and small businesses that use video to attract and connect with their audience.

This template includes two entry actions: Follow us on TikTok and View TikTok Post/Video. These actions encourage people to explore your TikTok content and follow for more.
It’s a great choice if you already post short videos and want to turn that momentum into more followers and brand visibility.

The X (formerly Twitter) Giveaway template is designed to boost engagement and visibility around trending topics or brand updates.
It includes two entry actions: Follow us on X and Tweet a Message. These actions help you grow your followers while encouraging participants to share your giveaway with their own audiences, creating instant exposure for your brand.
You can customize the prewritten tweet to include your hashtag, handle, or campaign link, making it easy for people to spread the word in just one click.
