M&M's Coupon Sweepstakes

Here is a good example of a sweepstakes with a lot of prizes. As we have learned, consumers want to WIN.

The M&M's Brand Coupon Sweepstakes offers consumers a chance to win one of 507,878 free M&M’s coupon prizes. You must be 13 or older to enter and there is a limit of one entry per email address per day. Sweepstakes ends 8/27/10.

I was, however, disappointed in the site itself. It was very bland and had no graphics. I was looking for a better user experience. It wasn't there.

I do have one question - how did they come up with the number 507,878?

Domino's Show Us Your Pizza Contest is a very simple and engaging contest.

Domino's wants the world to know that their consumers are the best source for Domino's pizza pictures and they don't need a special photo shoot to get a great pizza shot.

To enter, order a Domino's pizza. Second, take a photo of your pizza and upload it to the contest site. Judges will select the best top four photos. Winners will receive $500 with a chance that their photo will be used in an actual Domino's commercial.

What I particularly like about the contest site is the behind-the-scene video of what it really takes to make the perfect pizza photo shoot. You can understand the reason behind the contest after watching the video. It's entertaining.

Thanks to the economy, coupon use is on the rise. Consumers are looking for more ways to save money than ever before. In 2009, package goods companies saw an increase of 27% redemption over the year prior. But with the increase also comes fraud. As a manufacturer, you take steps to control fraud the best you can with the parameters you have. But some consumers clearly abuse the system. This article is targeted to the coupon users and what they should know about redeeming and using coupons.
