Why these days

A contest next to a sale people already look for

  • The feed is full of discounts

    A prize in the comments is a reason to stop on your post when every other brand is posting a price.

  • The entry list is the comment list

    Ask for one comment. SOM loads that post and draws from those comments. No spreadsheet of names.

  • Ready photos and videos for Stories

    After the draw you get a photo and a video in the Black Cyber certificate. Post them so the winner is public.

How to run it

Three steps from the sale post to the winner

In 2026 Black Friday is 27 November and Cyber Monday is 30 November. Publish a few days before, and close entries on Friday or Monday. From 23 November through 3 December the Stories file uses the Black Cyber certificate.

  1. 1

    Publish the prize and the rule

    Say what the prize is, that one comment enters, and when entries close. Put the deadline and the time zone in the post.

  2. 2

    Paste the link into SOM

    SOM loads the comments. Set the winner count, and filter duplicates if the post asked for one person once.

  3. 3

    Post the result in Stories

    Share the ready photo and video. That file is the Black Cyber certificate. People see who won and that the names came from the comments.

The same draw works on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, and Threads.

Questions

Black Friday giveaway questions

When should I publish a Black Friday giveaway?

A few days before 27 November 2026. Close entries on Friday or on Cyber Monday, 30 November. From 23 November through 3 December the Stories file uses the Black Cyber certificate.

What counts as an entry?

A comment on the public post. If you also want a purchase or a follow, say so in the rules. SOM draws from the comments it can load. It does not check orders.

Which networks can I use?

Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, and Threads. One post link is one draw. A draw that joins several networks is a separate paid mode.

Is the giveaway free?

Posts with up to 100 comments can be drawn free, three times a day. Larger posts use a pack. The result includes ready photos and videos for Stories.
