Later this year I will be cruising
the length of the River Danube. My TV and DVD player are top of the range,
spanking new ones and I have the latest smart phone. I have a shelf full of new
books, my bathroom cupboard has new fragrances, creams and potions for me to
enjoy. There are delicious luxury foods in my cupboard and freezer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And how much has it all cost me? The price of
a few stamps and<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>text messages!
They<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>were all competition prizes, and
I’m going to share a few of my secrets of success with you. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Chances to win are everywhere, not just on the internet
–<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>you’ll find competitions in shops and
supermarkets, garden centres and gyms,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>banks and bookshops, petrol stations and pubs. If you look carefully at
every leaflet and booklet displayed as you are shopping, and inspect every
product pack for special flashes, stickers or neck collars, you’ll find prizes
on offer ranging from baseball caps and tea towels right up to luxury holidays,
kitchens and cars. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So how can you start to win all these goodies? Here are a
few tips to get you started<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">Whenever
you find a new competition, the first thing to look at is the closing
date. It isn’t unusual to find a competition on display that has closed
months ago!<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">Read
the rules carefully, because if you break any of them, you won’t end up in
the draw. Many promoters find they have to disqualify up to a quarter of
the entries to their competitions because entrants have broken a rule or
not read the instructions properly.<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">Look
out for competitions which won’t get many entries. Your local paper is a
good place to start. Competitions which only hit the shelves a few days
before the closing date give you a good chance too, as so many people
won’t spot them in time. <o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">Don’t
scorn the small prizes – a car may be a very tempting prize, but it will
tempt a lot of other people too. Yet it can give you a real lift when the
postman appears at the door with a package containing a lovely new skin
cream, a book you have been longing to read or a pair of cinema tickets so
you can have a treat at the weekend. <o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">Give
skill competitions a chance. The harder a competition is to enter, the
easier it is to win, because so many people are put off by the challenge.
If you are asked to write a slogan, create a recipe, submit a photo or
video or even create a Pinterest board,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>give it a go – you’ll have much more chance than you would in a
simple draw. <o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">Don’t
give up if you find you aren’t winning prizes straight away. It takes a while
to get competition results processed and send out prizes, so it could be a
couple of months before you start to see any results. <o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">Have
fun! Entering competitions is an enjoyable hobby - but unlike most hobbies
it can end up giving back to you far more than it costs. <o:p></o:p></li>
</ul>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>publish an
independent small press magazine called “The Competition Grape Vine” which
takes some of the hard work out of comping, telling you where to find the
latest competitions, giving lists of past winning slogans, finding the answers
to<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>puzzles and questions, telling you
which products you will need to buy if you want to enter certain competitions
and giving full entry details if you can enter without an entry form. It comes
in a handy A5 format, ideal to slip into a pocket or handbag when you are out
shopping. An email update part way through the month tells subscribers of the
latest competitions to hit the High Street. Subscriptions cost £13.50 for 3
months, £25 for 6 months and £45 for a year, and if you haven’t tried it before
you can have a free sample copy of the current issue by sending an email giving
your name and address, to <a href="mailto:janesgrapevine@yahoo.co.uk">janesgrapevine@yahoo.co.uk</a><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You can read more about the magazine, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>along with lots of useful tips for entering competitions
of all kinds, especially those on Twitter, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>on my “Comper’s Blog” at <a href="http://www.competitiongrapevine.blogspot.co.uk/">www.competitiongrapevine.blogspot.co.uk</a>
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>where you will also find some competitions to
enter to get you started on this rewarding hobby. <o:p></o:p></div>
