Brad Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Here's an easy contest: We need new ideas for ways to give away t-shirts and other items here on the site. So just reply to this thread with one or more ideas and you'll be entered to win 1 of 5 Black Friday t-shirts. Limit one entry per member (although you can post as many ideas as you'd like). Entries will be accepted until 9pm ET on Sunday, November 10th. At that point I'll randomly choose 5 entries and those members will receive Black Friday t-shirts! As always, if you've won a 2013 t-shirt already, you are not eligible to win another but feel free to share your contest ideas anyway. Good luck to all! http://i.gottadeal.com/main/images/merch/2013bfshirt400.jpg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laddhorn Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Since this new forum added the "Like" button, how about a contest for the most "liked" deal posted? There could be a time frame associated with this. Perhaps a week or so. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

len_mullen Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Once the shirts are shipped, offer a prize for people photographing themselves in BF stores BEFORE BF.Scavenger hunt: have people find deals in posted flyers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pogiporkchop Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 recipe contestholiday decoration contestholiday craft idea contestAnd I suppose Brad would be judging and require samples to be sent to him... What I think would be interesting is to see who can come up with the best white elephant or recycled gift... let's say you have $10 and could only shop at a thrift store. What could you put together that would be suitable for gift giving? Other ideas: worst Santa photo, tree/wreath/house decorating, original BF t-shirt designs, ornament design... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nhughes Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 (edited) Well I've been shutout with these contests so far, but I want to get a tee shirt List of Ideas: 1. Do a Twitter Trivia Contest--Ask a question and first person to get the right answer wins. 2. Hand out GottaDeal business cards and see if your favorite place will take a photograph with you. Most photos wins (Of course with photo permission_ 3.Do an internet scanvenger hunt..Give us three clues to find the exact item and exact price..The person with the exact or closest to the linked page win. 4. Have a graphic design contest-where anyone is open to design a holiday-oreinted GottaDeal logo or animation. 5. Have any member upload their OWN Black-Friday style webcast and make up their own content..Most votes wins. 6. Do a call-in show with the Black Friday Webcast..''The'' X caller would win the t-shirt. 7.Recruit some members. Send referrals to potential shoppers/black friday people..Member with the most referral wins. 8. Do a gift -card contest..I think you have it last year where the member with the most deals posted wins. Well those are some ideas..Hope this helps Happy Shopping!

magickallight Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 How about Christmas Trivia - where you ask a question and people PM their answers and the 10th correct answer for the 10th anniversary celebration wins a T-shirt. Also, you could randomly hide the Decade of Deals logo on the site and the 10th person to PM where it is that day wins a T-shirt. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momlori Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Love the random idea. Best holiday meal display, crazy sweater/shirt design using gottadeal, or pick a place on the map and the member that lives closest gets a shirt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jendeere Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 I like the random number/random person/random whatever idea too. That would be a fun pick-me-up for that person, too Or what about a picture of an item, say candy corn in a jar and each person has to guess how many. Limit it to one guess per member. Those are always fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amez74 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I like the bad family photo idea-I have one from when I was a kid and another one with my own children. I'm beginning to think I'm not photogenic and that it's heriditary! Other ideas- create a wish list within a budget - share a holiday recipe - A Christmas story thread, everyone adds a sentence to keep the story going and then a random winner or two or three.
