Get The Marketing Benefits Of  Sweepstakes

Without The Legal Risk


  Avoid Costly Regulatory Enforcement Action

  Affordable Flat Fees

Sweepstakes, promotions, and contests of all forms are seeing exponential growth from companies large and small due to their proven effectiveness in meeting marketing goals. With the widespread use of social media and the proliferation of the influencer ecosystem, promotional strategies involving sweepstakes or contests are being further propelled due to their strong potential for success. Understanding the value of these promotions, at RICHT, we help clients see the rewards from their promotional efforts while avoiding legal risk. After all, the laws governing sweepstakes, contests, and lotteries are state-specific, with federal law factored in. For example, New York and other states have nuanced requirements. Such a fractured legal landscape is complex and overwhelming for the outside observer. We aim to ensure clients can focus on running their promotions optimally while ensuring that legal considerations are appropriately accounted for.
