Spare a Rose
I once took part in a contest that was similar to this. The New Jersey Devils hockey team was approaching a milestone number of Facebook “likes”, and followers were enticed – once the page reached that number – to send a screenshot to a particular email address, and the first 20 (or whatever number) to do so would win a prize. I won a pair of tickets to a game that way. It seemed fair to me; it didn’t exclude long-time followers, it kept eyes on the page (as per its purpose) and was actually marketed to the followers themselves. Any increase in “likes” as a result was strictly viral.
I couldn’t agree more.
I agree, I think some people are just trying to show off. If they want to show off, recognize those who are loyal to you. Great post. Simple, honest, and to the point.
