Hidden Competitions

4/9/2012

 
Recently I have had the time to open and 'skim' EVERY email I received that hadn't gone into my spam folder.

I was astonished to find that the more-than plentiful sales and/or marketing emails, which I would usually only read the subject line without actually opening the email, then I would delete it unread, were extremely fruitful.

I found 'hidden' competitions further into the body of the email - obviously designed to make us open and read them.  It's worked - In two days I found 27 competitions I would normally have deleted without even knowing the comp was there.

Here are some examples: 

From:  Bayliss and Harding
Subject:  Bank Holiday Treat - FREE POSTAGE until Tuesday
1/2 way down:  Win a luxury holiday

From: Nutella
Subject:  Back to school
Very bottom of email: 2 x competitions - London Break / School items

From:  The Lady
Subject:  The Countdown to Downtown
1/2 way down:  Win a coat plus link to 8 x comps on website

From:  The Frangrance Club
Subject: Bank Holiday Weekend - 70% off
Bottom of email: Win Lady Gaga perfume

From:  Hot Diamonds
Subject: New Charms from Hot Diamonds! Preview our 'Diamond Moments' collection now!
1/2 way down: Win a silver pendant

From: BXBabble
Subject:  Imogen Thomas' mum-2-be blog; back to school health Qs; how to get ready for birth
bottom of email: 3 x comps for a holiday/£50 shopping vchr/birthing device (OK this last one I'm not entering!!!)

Some of the sites I already look out for, as I expect you do, because you know there are comps on the site.  Others I have never been on their site before and I wonder how many comps I have "thrown away"!

It takes much, much longer to clear your inbox - but well worth it if you want to pick up a few extra comps.

As I find these I am trying to 'share' everything I can.  It's a tough job but I've got a lot of Karma to use up :)

Good Luck all
