08/05/06 - August - Contest II - Shake it up

[tomp]

Ok so, we gotta liven up these forums a bit - not much action in here these days. So.....the first customer with 10 posts starting from now will get something special pulled from the prize closet. Could it be that new BMW you always wanted??? Probably not, but I promise you it will be something you'll like.

So, in the proverbial words of Scott Ferrall "Shake it up!".

Post here when you got 10 posts.

If my numbers are right, we currently have 3 customers battling this one out, each with 3 posts since this thread was posted. I have a feeling this contest won't last too much longer!

[TwoRocks]

...me, me, me! :D

Now, I don't need a BWM... but a BMW would be nice! :D

If you don't have one handy, I'll settle for a one-year SSL certificate or something of equal or greater value (limited-time offer, certain restrictions apply, please call now! :D )

[Jeff]

After a very long, intense session of thread counting (about 2 minutes), I hereby declare TwoRocks winner of this contest! Congrats TwoRocks!! (insert party music and images of confetti here)

It was a close race, and at one point it was a 3 way tie. It really could have gone either way. TwoRocks pulled a fast lead at the bottom of the 7th, and carried it home in clean sweep, posting non stop all day!

The Contests and Promotion Commission has gathered the 10 winning entries, and they are listed below:

David, I'm sorry, but we just gave away our last BWM, only we didn't because we never really had any to begin with. I hope you're not TOO disappointed to hear the news. You win some, you lose some, sorry!

The Contests and Promotion Committee has adjourned for the evening, but will meet again tomorrow to discuss your prize. I see you have requested a 1 year SSL cert provided by Myriad Network, which we do provide via GeoTrust, as we are an Authorized GeoTrust Partner (https://www.myriadnetwork.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11&highlight=geotrust).
The Committee will talk it over and let you know the results some time tomorrow. Until then, congrats once again!

[TwoRocks]

While the Committee is in chambers (bed chambers? :D ) I am pacing up and down, breathlessly, in eager anticapation of the prize. What will it be?

So, it's not a BWM... (I guess that would have been a German sports car with dyslexia, right? With the steering wheel on the right, as well, right? :D )

I'm just glad it's not a MBW (=Mighty Big Wig)... :p

[tomp]

As luck would have it we do have a Geotrust (http://www.geotrust.com) QuickSSL Premium (http://www.geotrust.com/products/ssl_certificates/quick_ssl_premium.asp) certificate in the prize closet which includes a dynamic seal stating transaction is secure.

I'll shoot you an email shortly to get this ordered.

Thanks for playing!

Tom

[TwoRocks]

A premium SSL cert! That's one sweet prize, Tom! :cool:

Thanks bunches, you guys! I suddenly feel "like a million bucks" :D

I'm eagerly awaiting your e-mail to set this up for my xcelsium.com domain.

Cheers,

David aka TwoRocks

Hi David - now that you have a shiny, brand new, high security SSL certificate for your website, how about some suggestions for the next contest?

Tom, "your wish is my command"! :)

How about an affiliate contest for the month of September? The affiliate who refers the most new customers during the month of September wins [insert mystery prize here].

Tune back in when I suggest a contest for October... :D

Thanks again for the sweeet prize, guys, and you even installed the certificate for me! What can I say? You guys prove time and again that you go "the extra mile"... splendid! :)

Excellent idea. I emailed all the affiliates earlier this month announcing a $200 bonus for every 6 customers referred during the month of August. I think this is a pretty sweet deal -

6 customers X $50 per customer (standard referral rate at level 1) = $300
$200 bonus
Total = $500

Thats $83.33 per customer you refer. The more you refer the more you earn.


1 - 10 sales $50 per sale.
11 - 20 sales $55 per sale.
21 - 30 sales $60 per sale.
31 - 40 sales $65 per sale.
41 - 50 sales $70 per sale.
51 - 60 sales $75 per sale.More information on our affiliate program is here
