Just about
everyone likes winning something of value. These days, with all the contest and
special offers made by major retailers across the country you don't have to buy
lottery tickets to be in the running to win valuable items.
With just a
bit of searching you can find many websites that list all sorts of contests you
can enter. Usually entering these contests is absolutely free. Sometimes you
will have to fill out a survey, or answer a series of questions.
Others want
you to buy sample packs of products. Those are the kind of contests you may
prefer to avoid. If you're persistent you can win trips, cars, apparel,
electronic gadgets, and probably the most popular items these days - gift
cards.
Gift cards
are popular giveaways because they have obvious advantages over other types of
products. Gift cards are available in virtually any practical amount - from
small amounts like ten dollars to much larger ones in the hundreds of dollars.
That makes it easy for a contest planner to choose an appropriate prize value.
They are also easy to ship - unlike most hard goods.
Gift cards
are also extremely practical from the winner's point of view. They are the next
best thing to cash. They are easy to use, and just as easy to re-gift if you
don't have the urge to buy from that particular store.
Most
contests that use gift cards as prizes are pretty straightforward. You simply
sign up for a chance to win. But unlike lottery tickets where there is no
effective strategy to increase your odds of winning, with online contests there
are a few important ways to improve your odds.
First of
all, you should look for websites where lots of gift card draws are held. The
more gift card draws, and the more frequent they are, the greater your chances
of winning. Some sites even automatically enter you into multiple draws with
just one entry.
