Home Biz Suggests You Check Out Contests at b5’s Sports Channel

If you like to participate in contests, check out three at b5media’s Sports Cannel, in other words, Play and Win at the Sports Channel.

 Three of the blogs are participating, Rackets and Balls, Hockey Beat, and World Poker Tour.  Each has a different set of rules.  Prizes include teddy bears and other great stuff.

It becoming more and more common for business to offer some kind of contest or prize drawing to encourage customers to stop by, whether it’s a walk-in business or an online one. 

*Leaving your business card in a fish bowl for a monthly drawing of free meal, free parking, free car wash, free quilting tool…or whatever is associated with your business…has become quite common.

*Leaving comments on a blog post for a drawing has gained in popularity.

*Writing a slogan for a product or promotion interests some.

*Naming a new product, animal, picture, etc. is another.

*Guessing the number of jelly beans, candy corn, candy hearts or something similar in a jar has been used, too.

What can you come up with to promote interest in your business and create fun at the same time?
