Growing Community Awareness Through a Contest!

So I've been thinking about how to grow a stronger local community for quite some time. This weekly mailing list (sorry you're getting an extra email this week but it's worth it - I promise!) is one effort I'm doing to help with that. With the addition of a paying sponsor (and there are now others who are interested as well), I've been thinking about how to attract more people into this mailing list.

I've been running search based ads and they haven't generated any traction in terms of signups for this list. So rather than try to tweak the ads and get marginal results I'm going to shift gears. That's right it's a contest! So now until November 29th the contest is open. Here is how you enter and what you can win.

You enter very simply by getting someone to go to the Atlanta startupgossip.com calendar page and signup to be on our mailing list (the link is above the calendar). They need to provide your email address as the referral source. For every person that signs up between now and November 29th at 6pm, you'll get one entry into the contest. I'll randomly select one winner at that time and announce who won in the November 30, 2009 weekly email.

The prize is a $10 Amazon gift certificate. So what are you waiting for? The more people you refer, the greater your odds of winning!

Disclaimer: Grok Ventures reserves the right to rescind this contest if fewer than ten unique entries are received. Grok Ventures also reserves the right to review and disqualify entries if in its sole discretion those entries are frivolous, manipulated, or falsified in any way. This contest is open only to individuals who are signed up for the Atlanta startupgossip.com events mailing list.
