What’s Your Thoughts on Contests?

by Mike Lieberman · 4 comments

Everyone loves contests…

…mostly because you get the chance to win free stuff.

But what else would you like to see in a contest?

Last week, I ran the contest with Safer Brand for a chance to win a gift pack from them.

The winner has been notified, so if you haven’t been notified…take a hint.

This was the third contest that I have run this year. The others were for the All-In-One Seed Bank from SeedsNow.com and the other was for the Smart Float Seed Tray from The Greenhouse Catalog.

I’d love to get your feedback on the contests so far.

  • What have you liked or disliked?
  • When you enter a contest do you really care about the company…or do you just want free stuff?
  • What else would you like to see in a contest?

    I used to be all about the free stuff, but I enter contests pretty conservatively now. It has to be something I need, that I would consider buying on my own anyway, and the company has to be doing a pretty darn impressive job of being ethical and low impact.

    I hear that.

    I only enter contests for companies that I love or companies that share my passion.  If it was done so often, that would take the excitement out of it!
