Have your competition entries increased in the last year?
Are you new to online competitions and freebies?
Or would you say your Internet behaviour hasn't changed since the recession?
It's hard for me to say because I've been working in the industry and entering online prize draws & competitions for the past 7 years; I still enter at least 10 competitions every day.
I've got the hang of discount codes and 2 4 1 style vouchers and have used them for the first time within the last 2 years; I'm not sure if that's recession directed or just because I love a freebie! (I recommend the Pizza Express & Loch Fyne vouchers!)
My bf is northern through & through and will never pay for something full price, so the ease of finding a bargin now and so many companies offering free samples and prize draws has made it much easier on us the consumers to get allot more for your money.
To a degree special offers affects my life. Here's an example - I have an Orange mobile in order to get the Orange Wednesdays 2 4 1 cinema ticket offer and due to this I never ever go to the cinema on any other day.... no matter what.
I never pay to have a go on an instant win competition like the National Lotteries & Jackpot joy's because I know I can do the same for free on
Instantwin4now.
And I use companies price matching promises to my advantage wherever possible!
So although my behaviour hasn't altered since the recession, it has definitely changed since finding the joys of freebies, competitions & special offers!
What about you?
