What sort of promotions and contests do you run to try and bring in new customers? Thanks Kevin xerocity.com 06-16-2002, 08:06 PM We offer a contest to win free hosting for a year. We always are running this contest. We do not run the contest to acquire new customers or gain contact information; we just run the contest to give people free hosting :D FCTEnterprises 06-16-2002, 09:14 PM Do you find that you have gained more customers from this promotion? In addition, can you provide a little more detail: how often you draw the prise, who can enter, etc.... Thanks Kevin RyanK 06-16-2002, 10:01 PM We offer something every month. These past two months it was a 1 new iPAQ and 1 new XBOX (2 customers/ both wanted the iPAQ). This month it's a new Dell Laptop and 1 of 3 Full Year Platinum accounts (if already purchased then refunded). xerocity.com 06-17-2002, 03:35 AM Originally posted by Manlius.com Do you find that you have gained more customers from this promotion? In addition, can you provide a little more detail: how often you draw the prise, who can enter, etc.... Thanks Kevin No, not really. Most of our customers are from referals not from our advertising or the contests. In reality, we do not even get that many signups for the contest (probably because we do not promote it except for on our website). We draw the prize every 6 months and the entrant will win 1 year of free hosting. If they are a current client we refund them the amount of the plan offered in the contest. Quoted from our website: 4. ELIGIBILITY: Contest is not open to employees of Xerocity.com or their immediate family members, subsidiary or affiliated company, licensee, advertising or promotional agency, web hosting competitors or their employees or their employees immediate family members, or our sponsors.
