Lucky New Year: Jan 1st

Submitted by SuperluckyDi on Tue, 2013-01-01 07:22

Every day for the first week of 2013 we're giving away a £10 Amazon voucher - and every time you enter one of our daily comps, you'll also get an entry into our grand prize draw to win a fabulous KINDLE FIRE HD!

Today is our first competition and as it's the first day of a brand new year, we'd like to know what your comping resolution is. Here are some ideas:

• Registering for Pinterest or Instagram
• Trying some creative competitions
• Setting up Google Alerts to find competitions for your dream prizes
• Visiting the 'new competitions' section daily on the PrizeFinder - instead of the 'closing soon' one!
• Making home-made postcards for postal entry competitions
• Starting a spreadsheet to record your wins
• Subscribing to a new magazine (how about Compers News?!)
• Listening to the radio and texting/calling in for on-air comps
• Applying for TV gameshows
• Entering more text competitions

To enter today's competition, make sure you're registered with The PrizeFinder and logged in to your account - then leave a comment on this post telling us your comping resolution. We have an approval process so your comment won't appear straight away, but as long as you post it before midnight you'll be in the draw!

Don't forget, every entry you make into our daily competitions gives you one entry into the grand prize draw for a Kindle Fire HD!

1. Open to UK residents aged 18 or over

My comping resolution is to stop entering competitions just for the stuff I want, such as gadgets and Blu-Ray's. High on the agenda are holiday competitions because my parents are both recently retired and deserve a fantastic holiday of a lifetime!

I'm going to target prizes I want and need, for myself and for gifts and try and do 'searches' for those low entry unadvertised comps, especially on the web. Im also going to try to make unusual postcards, from greetings cards, and boxes and decorate them to catch the eye!

Entering more competitions before their closing date and not ruling out email entry competions.

To organise my time better as I seem to spend more time entering lots of competitions than doing anything else. Also a spreadsheet sounds like a good idea.

To diligently use theprizefinder's competition tracker so I don't accidently enter the same competition twice and invalidate my entry.

To enter skill based competitions and to go for things that I'd really love to win - holidays and spa breaks would be fab.

To try to get my husband into helping me more with competitions, he has been very good at coming up with alternative/ different ideas for caption competitions.

My resolution is to start entering more postal comps. I made a start yesterday by posting off my first three. Fingers crossed!

Try and log my entries as I always forget what I've entered and think I waste time that way!!!

To enter as many comps as possible to try and beat my 2012 total of 101 prizes for the year!

I will make an effort to enter more skill based comps. I used to do really well winning slogan comps when I first began comping. So hopefully a return to using skill will herald a return to winning some top prizes!!

I want to try and get out of the house more and vary where I shop so that I can access competitions from different supermarkets who might also supply different brands to where I normally shop. Most of all I want to remember not to be too downhearted when I dont win a competition that I was "absolutely convinced I would win"!!

Several comping resolutions:
1)get more organised
2)be more selective
3)start doing more comps that involve effort
4)set aside designated time per day for comps & stick to it.
5)Remember: Quality not quanitity

To simply enter more competitions. I have won a few little prizes but I would love to win a big one.

I'd like to focus more on the things I really want to win, try out more creative comps and try new channels (pinterest, apps).

If I think 'can't be bothered' about a comp then chances are a lot of other people are reacting the same way, so my New Year's Resolution is to BE BOTHERED and ENTER!

To use my brain and more and enter more tie-breaker competitions and not always enter just the big prizes .
