Giveaways?

How many of the premium users actually live in or around SLC though?

I think shirts or stuff like that would be a better idea because it would appeal to a larger % of Jazzfanz members.

To me the idea isn't to reward existing premium members but to encourage new premium memberships.

Yeah, tickets probably wouldn't suit everybody, not only due to geography but schedules, too.

The only way a giveaway is gonna bring in more premium members is if the prize is exclusive, rare, or hard to find. Like a t-shirt with Stockton's signature on it, or a ball with Malone's ... or Sloan's or even Quin's ... or something collectable.


If Jason or Nate508 (through their connections) can get a hold of something like that and do a yearly draw, I'm pretty sure Premium Membership will be a big hit. You'll have to make it so that only eligible if someone has been, or will be a member for 6+ months though, but that's easy to do.

On top of that, if we can somehow personalise the prize.. imagine getting a signature from Sloan/Stockton/Malone saying "Love your work Hotttnickkk keep it up!!" (or ONE LOVE/Gameface/Cy/Bigb/PKM, etc, etc, etc)


That's priceless. I think Premium Membership on this site would go through the roof.

I disagree. I think if there were regular giveaways the prize doesn't have to be extraordinary, but not garbage either, of course. People get excited about winning free stuff. People also want to be included, so if they see a thread with a prize they want and a bunch of people posting saying they're "in" then they'll want to be a part of that. If they are people who lurk here but don't have an account or people that have an account but don't participate much they might decide it's worth it to get a premium membership so that they can participate in the drawing.

It would benefit the site in several ways. One, it'll drive traffic, even if it doesn't increase premium memberships all that much. But I do think it'll increase the number of premium memberships. With people checking in for new drawings and for the results of drawings you'll have more people thinking about this forum and while they're here they might read a post that they feel compelled to respond to and drive up board activity, which will have a feedback effect on getting more people to notice the drawings, buying memberships, checking the site regularly, participating in discussions...rinse wash repeat.
 
late to the party, haven't read thread.. but if we're talking about JF giving away prizes, I think hell ya! #1 - It's totally cheesy; #2 - It just might work; #3 - It ain't my money.
 
If by cheesy you mean fun, then yeah.

And I'd imagine Jason would need sponsors for the prizes to make it work. It's cheap advertising.

Well how about you work out a deal with Jason whereby you get free Premium Membership for life, but you supply him with free beers for giving away for a monthly prize draw?


He gets his sponsor, you get your advertising & free PM, win/win.

It is not legal to exchange home brewed beer for any form of compensation, at all. It is not legal to offer home brewed beer for general consumption outside the residence in which it is brewed.

Basically, by law, I can make beer for my own personal use and I can share it with others on the premises on which it was brewed. Outside of that, it's not legal. Utah allows for transportation of home brew for the purpose of competitions, and a very limited amount (I believe it's 64oz) for my personal use, but other than that transporting beer off my premises would be illegal.
 
I have tried this once before -- I had a gift card to Fanzz that I was never going to use -- and offered it to Jason to have as some sort of give away for something. Much like now, it fell on deaf ears.

Oh well?

If it ever happens to come up, I have some Jerry Sloan signed things that I may be willing to part with for the greater good of the site.
