Contests Often Increase the Popularity of Quilters
Offering contests for your customers, as well as blog and web site visitors, has become a popular way of generating interest in what you do, whether you operate a shop or simply like to quilt and chat and share.
Do you ever offer contests or prize drawings? This encourages customers to stop by your shop or web site.
(Sometimes you might offer as prizes books by popular quilters.)
*Invite customers to leave their business card or drop their name in a fish bowl for a monthly drawing of free fabric or quilting gadget has become quite common.
*Asking them to leave comments on your blog post for a drawing has gained in popularity.
*Writing a slogan for a product or promotion interests some.
*Naming a quilt or hanging is another way to encourage participation in what you’re doing.
*Guessing the number of buttons or beads in a jar is popular, too.
Quilting contests also are ways quilters participate in group activities. And theirs might be selected for display nationally and beyond.
What can you come up with to promote interest in your quilting and create fun at the same time?

So, I’ve been wondering about these “leave a comment” contests. When the period closes, does the blogger simply write each name down on a piece of paper and draw one out of a hat? Or is there some more high tech way to choose the winner?
