Contests and Games

Contests-
Why do companies offer contests?
Sponsors like to use sweepstakes as a way of luring in new customers and gaining customer loyalty, and in the process sweepers win awesome loot. If you understand what companies have to gain by holding promotions, you can lend a hand in helping them reach their goals and encourage them to keep on giving away the great prizes that we all want to win! Word-of-mouth marketing is becoming more powerful than ever in today's society where people can tell hundreds or thousands of "friends" about products that they like instantly in the forms of emails, blogs, and even online forums like this one. Contests and sweepstakes encourage people to talk about a company, spreading the word about their products and services and also drives up huge traffic to their websites.
How can I win some of this great loot?
So many people think that winning is simply a matter of luck, However long time sweepers use smart tactics to improve their chances of winning. By creating a plan to enter sweepstakes efficiently, you can exponentially increase your chances of winning. I'll tell you the top ten insider tips to improve your chances of winning sweepstakes.
1. Focus Your Effort
Don't waste your time entering contests with prizes that you have no use for, or prizes that you just can't ever use! No sense in trying to win a snowmobile if you live in sunny Florida.
Instead narrow in on the prizes you really need or you really want to win, then enter that contest as many times as allowed by the rules. See tip 3.
2. Enter as Many Sweepstakes as Possible
Focusing your effort does not mean just enter one sweep at a time, it means focus on prizes you want and enter as many of those contests that offer that type of prize. The more contests you enter the greater your chances of winning some great loot.
3. Enter as Often as Allowed
The majority of sweepers will only enter a contest once even if the rules allow one entry per day, week, or month. So just entering more than once on the contests that allow more than one entry already puts you one step ahead of many other sweepers.
4. Emphasize Sweepstakes with Lots of Prizes
The more prizes a sweepstake offers, the better your chances are going to be to win a prize. A giveaway that is awarding 300 prizes is going to be a three-hundred times easier to win than a giveaway with only one prize. Even if some of the prizes are not as valuable as the top prize, you'll feel motivated when you receive your prize that you have won.
5. Look for Sweepstakes that Restrict Entries from Other States
States tend to have their own rules and laws pertaining to sweepstakes. In consequence this will prohibit entry from residents of particular states. Florida, New York, Michigan and Rhode Island are commonly excluded from bigger sweepstakes. California and Utah are seldomly included in sweepstakes sponsored by wineries or beer breweries. Hawaii and Alaska get left out because of the cost of shipping.
Finding then entering those sweepstakes where some states are excluded means that the number of people who can enter is much smaller. Less competition equals better chances for you.
6. Prioritize Sweeps with Restrictions by Age or Gender
Sometimes sweeps restrict entry by specific age or genders. So if most sweepstakes allow people over 18 years of age to enter, and some restrict entry to 21+, or even 25+, then if you are above 25 years of age, these restrictions cut down the amount of entries and that increases your odds of winning. As well as contests that only allow one gender to enter, you'll only have to worry about competition from about half of the population.
7. Search Out Local Sweeps
Good luck in your new sweeping hobby, you too will soon be an addict once you start winning.
