Here’s what’s new in Q1.
Introducing the Partner Network: Seamless Sweepstakes Collaboration
We’re excited to launch the ViralSweep Partner Network, a new way for brands to collaborate on sweepstakes and maximize their impact. With this feature, multiple companies can now co-host sweepstakes, sharing both the prize investment and the email lists generated.

Why does this matter?
- Cost-sharing – Businesses can split the prize value, making large-scale promotions more accessible.
- Audience growth – Each brand benefits from an expanded reach, tapping into partner audiences for greater exposure.
- Stronger partnerships – Companies can team up with complementary brands, creating more engaging and mutually beneficial campaigns.
This feature is a game-changer for businesses looking to scale their sweepstakes without taking on all the costs alone.
Smaller Enhancements: Keeping the Platform Running Smoothly
While the Partner Network is our big highlight for Q1, we’ve also made some key improvements to enhance overall performance and user experience.
Improved Stability: A More Reliable Sweepstakes Experience
Behind the scenes, we’ve been making important technical upgrades to enhance platform stability. By reducing system timeouts and optimizing performance, ViralSweep now runs more smoothly, ensuring campaigns operate without disruption.
These improvements mean faster load times, fewer interruptions, and a better experience for both brands and participants.
Checkout Widget Enhancements: A Smoother Shopify Integration
Shopify’s checkout experience is evolving, and we’re evolving with it.
We’ve been actively refining our Checkout Widget to ensure it integrates seamlessly with Shopify’s latest checkout updates.
These enhancements help brands run smooth, uninterrupted sweepstakes within their Shopify stores, making it easier than ever to engage customers at checkout.
Coming in Q2 2025: Exciting Features and Upgrades Ahead
While Q1 has been filled with improvements, we’re not stopping there.
We’ve got some key updates coming in Q2 to further enhance platform stability and customer engagement:
- Capping SendGrid Emails – Optimizing email volume to improve stability and cost efficiency while ensuring reliable outbound messaging.
