Understand your audience’s age, interests, and online habits. When your campaign matches what they love, they’ll be more likely to engage, participate, and share it with others, boosting your reach.

2. Know Your Audience

Make participation easy with clear rules and quick steps. Complicated processes discourage users, while simple instructions help more people join in, create content, and share it effortlessly.
