I've been struggeling to come up with daily/weekly posts this month, who wants to be in at the computer all day? If you have kids I bet its even harder now that they're home on summer break and need constant attention/feeding/whatever it is kids need.
This past week I've been thinking alot about contests- the hubbby and I have sure won some great ones, but we've entered a lot as well. SOMEONE has to win, right? But what got me thinking was all those "receipt survey/contests" you see around now. Companies want to know what we think so bad that they give customers a 1-800 number or website to go to to tell them how their company is doing. I have the best intentions (dont we all?) of filling these out for a chance to win- but really who hold onto recipets long enough to care. Unless you got bad service, then you are going to care for sure!
I recently kept my receipt in hand from a drive-through experience and came home and went right to the computer to tell the company the many MANY things that went wrong on my visit. I didn't win the "$1000/month" prize, but because of the poor service they sent me an apology email and said they were mailing me coupons for a free adult combo and a kids meal. I wouldn't suggest lying to get free food, but this was a nice way to possibly keep me as a customer. It made me wonder if they "reward" customers for poor service, but if you report a good experience you just get a chance at a large prize.
I'm going to start paying more attention to those receipt surveys. I'd love to win $1000, who wouldn't?
I keep all my receipts with the intentions of doing the same, but hardly ever remember to do so before they expire. I'll have to try and remember to do them.
ReplyDeleteI love to enter to win things online through magazine websites. I figure, hey, someone's gotta win!
I just won some Covergirl makeup, and last year, I won a Vera Wang necklace. :D
