Should we conduct a Giveaway in
2009? Last year people who sent in their
completed
tax organizers were automatically entered
into a giveaway contest. The earlier people
sent in their
information, the more automatic entries they
received.
After April 15th we drew winning entries from
a fishbowl. The Grand Prize winner received
an Amazon Kindle electronic book reader and
four other winners were given iPods Nanos.
The contest encouraged our clients
to send in their tax information as soon as
they could. No one wants to send in lots of
tax information just before the April 15th
deadline, and the giveaway was just the push
many people needed to mail in their
records early.
Clients sent in a lot of their information in
February and at the beginning of March.
Several said that they lusted after the
prizes we were giving away!
Should we do it again? Do you -- including
those of you who didn't tell us your feelings
during the 2008 giveaway -- like being
encouraged to send in your
information early? Please let us know your
opinion.
