If you choose to enter by mail to increase your chances, I'd recommend giving the same information as the web form requests, as the rules do not specify what information the mail-in entry must contain. Also, it's probably a good idea to add the giveaway number for this specific sweeps, with a line stating something to the effect of "Giveaway 3080".

Generally speaking, most sweeps ask for this information to be mailed on a regular postal-regulation sized post card, or a plain 3x5 card or piece of paper in a business sized (#10) envelope. This sweeps does not specify, so you could have some fun with your entry on this one, if you feel artistic.

The above link is for Facebook entry. One online entry per person/email address per day, unlimited mail-in entries allowed, though each must be mailed separately. Online entry is only open to residents of the U.S. and U.K., mail-in entry is available to Canadian residents, void in Quebec.

Increase Your Luck in Winning, Part 2 of 3

In entering contests and sweepstakes, there are simple, yet effective ways to use skill to increase your luck in winning. This is part two of a three part series. You can read part one here.

The following guidelines will help to increase your luck, bringing in more of those winning moments.

Enter Daily

This simply increases your odds. In allowing yourself to fit at least one entry a day into your routine (the skill of time management), you will ensure yourself to keep on winnning. It also has the simple effect of releasing expectations, allowing your mind to rest at ease. Though you will be able to rest assured that you WILL win in doing your part, there is no stress involved because there are lots of ways for the winning to come.

Check All of Your Emails

Often times a winning email will come without an identifying subject line, so it may appear as just another newsletter or other generic email. In checking all of your emails you will be sure to receive any winning notifications. At the same time, it takes just a moment to unsubscribe from any unwanted emails while you're doing so, in order to make it easier to find what you are looking for. This involves skills in being thorough.

Create a Ritual

This has to do with creativity skills. Your ritual may entail something as simple as getting online and entering sweepstakes while your drink your morning coffee, or something more involved such as getting out the art supplies and taking a couple of hours to go through from beginning to end, decorating envelopes to sending them off. Whichever way you decide to do it, make it something to look forward to, and it will create a positive attitude. This positive attitude creates positive energy that in turn will bring you luck!

Read About Others Who Do Sweepstaking

Here you are using skills in connectivity. This just helps to keep it real. Some have a tendency to be a bit skeptical, and to think that nobody ever wins. This simply is not true. In reading about the experience of others, we keep the reality that everybody who does sweepstaking wins. This brings us, in a sense, a form of "collective luck"!

Next week will be part three, the final part of this series.




Good Luck!

Here's some Pinterest-ing Sweepstakes...

Pinterest is becoming a popular sweepstakes spot, with more and more brands offering creatively designed sweepstakes that use it. Hence, for these sweepstakes, you must have a Pinterest account before you can enter. Unless, of course, you'd want to mail in your entry, in which case you can sometimes find the address and other necessary info in the sweepstakes' rules (when alternate entry is offered).

If you don't already have a Pinterest account, it only takes a few moments to create one, and it's free.

Generally speaking, with a Pinterest sweepstakes, you are usually required to pin something from the sponsor, or something related to the sweeps, onto one of your boards. Sometimes the sponsor will require you to create a new board with a specific name for the particular sweepstakes you are entering. Along with this, there may be other qualifiers, such as filling out a form with your contact info and possibly a link to your sweeps pin.

These things in mind, not everyone will qualify, so the chances of winning are increased by the simple manner of elimination. Just remember that attention to detail is the key to your qualifying to win!


Renuzit Pinterest Promotion

For this sweeps, you are asked to re-pin a pin from Renuzit's boards, with the hashtag #RenuzitAromatherapy. Each day, a winner is picked from pins with this hashtag. Prize is the item that the winner pinned, with a maximum value of $50. A gift card may be substituted for the actual item.

A total of 21 prizes will be awarded.

Unlimited entries are allowed. Open to legal U.S. residents, exlcuding Puerto Rico, 18 or older. Ends March 31, 2014.
