Stuff the other competition sites never tell you...
Here's a little bit of background about our two main and most mighty sites - www.win4now.co.uk and www.instantwin4now.co.uk ...
Win4now.co.uk and Instantwin4now.co.uk are two very different online competition sites owned by Data, Media and Research. The company is based in Sheffield and has been running the sites for over 5 years now.
What does all this mean to you though?
Now we’ve introduced ourselves it’s time to get down to that all important question – why should you care? Why should you enter our competitions above all the other ones out there?
Whether you enter every competition going, select only the ones you really want to win – Win4now and Instantwin4now have something for you. We try to make sure that there is something on the sites which will appeal to everyone. We do this by watching trends for what people like you are looking for in the search engines, what products people are buying, what big events are coming up and also what you tell us you want to win! You will also find prizes for every season on the site such as the top ten toys each Christmas as well as cash and even the turkey, Valentine’s breaks, Easter treats, sizzling summer barbecues and autumn hampers.
On Win4now we have over 30 competitions on the site at any time and these range from the latest DVD releases, to cars worth many thousands of pounds. Our most popular prizes are cash and vouchers – no surprises there really as most people would prefer to win a grand over a CD! One of our recent winners, Lisa Duffy from Liverpool (pictured below) won a brand new Mini Cooper last month!
On Instantwin4now we have over 1400 prizes with new ones being added all the time. It’s the only competition site on the internet which allows users to win prizes instantly. Some of our recent winners have won vacuum cleaners, perfume, cash, wine and a home cinema as well as a wedding reception worth £5,000!
On both the sites there’s no catch – real people win real prizes all the time. All we ask from our members is to register with the sites, which is free. You then have the choice to answer a number of lifestyle questions and receive fantastic offers from carefully selected partners. You can sign up for plenty of brilliant money saving special offers, vouchers, extra prizes and exciting newsletters. These questions allow us to keep the site free and your responses mean that every piece of communication you receive is totally relevant to you.
On Win4now we restrict entries to one per user. Once the competition closes a winner is selected at random by a computer and lovely Joy in our admin team contacts the lucky winner. The winner then has 28 days to claim the prize before it is redrawn and another winner is contacted. When a winner claims the prize we send it out to them so they can enjoy it as soon as possible.
As Instatwin4now’s prizes can be won in an instant, you find out straight away of you’re a winner. Pick the prize you want to win and then select three numbers from the drop down list. If you select the correct numbers then you win the prize instantly! After a call to Joy to confirm you’re the winner, the prize will be sent out to you. The prizes on Instantwin4now really are diverse - ranging from beach towels and biographies to Caribbean cruises and the latest model cars. Some of our members have even won more than once on the site! S. Grimble won £1000 of Comet Vouchers on Instantwin4now and said, “I am over the moon with my win and thanks for all your help today, its great stuff.”
The only advice we can offer to become a winner is to enter as many competitions as possible! Real people win real prizes regularly on our sites and you could be one of them.

cars & office happenings
1 member of the webteam is just in the process of buying a 2nd hand car via http://www.motors.co.uk after being so jealous of our lucky Mini winners luck. Shes been checking insurance quotes & loans online most of the weekend. This comp would come in handy but she can't win it - http://www.win4now.co.uk/competition/insurance
you can though!
Rob's back from Goa with weirdy woo sweeties for the whole win4now office.
The sales teams are being 'incentivised' i.e bribed with booze & goodies - its hard work here making sure we get lots of fab competitions for our lovely members to win every month.
So make it worth while and enter them all :)

We have a winner!

I actually forgot to write a post about this earlier in all the excitement but we had a winner for the Mini Cooper!
Lisa Duffy from Liverpool drove away her shinny black Mini Cooper from our Sheffield offices at the start of this month. I say, 'she' drove it away, it was actually her uncle as Lisa can't drive yet. Winning a new car is a pretty good excuse to learn though!
The story was covered in our local paper The Sheffield Star and we had some professional photos taken of Lisa posing with her new wheels.
You could be just like Lisa and win one of these cars on Win4now...

Today is going really quickly - mainly because it's my birthday! I've had presants and cake and can't wait to go out and have a couple or twelve tonight.
Nat King Cole is on the radio singing 'Smile' - his recommendation for fooling people into thinking your having the time of your life seems ill advised - bottle it up, slap on a grin and possibly ignore the fact it's Valentine's day!
Valentines' fever hasn't exactly swept the office today, mainly because I'm refusing to let anything steal my birthday thunder!
That doesn't mean I've been neglecting the competition though as we have 3 new ones!

New comps!
I've been blasting out emails to everyone I can think of to get some really cool prizes on the site and now you can reap the rewards of my hard work by entering these competitions!
Ugg boots - it's the return of the Ugg boots. We only ran this competition a few weeks ago but they're back by popular demand due to the amount of cold feet out there!
Valentines Treats - love it or hate it, Valentine's Day is one money-making-marketing-machine that's not going anywhere. Ease the pain on your heart and wallet by winning this digital camera and Royal Mail Smilers (posh personalised stamps for those in the know)!
Asa CDs - never heard of her? Well where have you been?! You are missing out on some top tunes so enter the competition to see what all the fuss is about.
Last Legion - the Sword in the Stone without the cute Disney animals, Last Legion may not be the blood thirsty epic of 300 but for fun, historic family adventure you need to enter this competition. Seriously, enter it!
Phantasy Star Universe: Ambition of the Illuminus for the PC - say 'goodbye' to washing and eating for a while as we have 10 copies of this top role play game to give away!
I'm continuing my quest to unearth random competition for our members so come back soon or you could miss out!

The sun is shinning on my screen because the blinds won't shut properly. I've lost my right to moan as I have a really cool desk due to throwing a strop the other day.
Jess is sat with us now and it's nice to have another girly on the team plus it means we get more cups of tea.
Messed up a couple of Fun4now comps last week which meant no one could enter them - got told off by Gemma but all is fixed now so enter them!
