New Fun4now Quiz

September marks the start to our new Fun4now competition Guess Who, which has replaced the famous landmark quiz.

We'll give you a few clues about the person and the picture will signify if they are male or female.
BUT NOTE the silhouette picture isn't actually the person so don't worry if it doesn't look like the person you think it is!

All you need to do is guess correctly who it is and you could win a prize!

The Guess Who person could be anyone from; film stars, politicians, scientists, musicians etc, and be from any era in our human history!

I hope you enjoy our new feature.

Here's a sneaky clue to this months Win4now's 'Guess Who' quiz:
He has famously stated that he hates his feet. (he's still perfect in my eyes.... drool)

Marmite, Midges, Kerry & Blogging Cherries!

This is my last blog post for a week, but the other marketing team members may lose their blogging cherry (snigger) and post next week - so beware readers!

I'm off to Scotland for a week camping & biking. Lets hope I avoid the evil highland midges & rain, wish me luck.

Our lovely receptionist Mara has just shown me this midge link which is handy as she studied midge behaviour for her dissertation bizarrely. So now I know I need to eat lots of Marmite (B12) & wear white not to get bitten!

A massive congratulations to Kerry who has just passed her marketing diploma. Well done!

Before I forget, the last Fun4now clues for August are:
Landmark: It can carry 800 passengers per revolution - equivalent to 11 London red doubled-decker buses
Mystery image: Chlorine is used in these to keep them clean

Get to know the DMRI marketing team pt.2

Meet Rob from our marketing team today:

I work on new projects at DMRI like our new cashback site Smart Spend, and our new insurance comparison website Clever Zebra.

After a day slaving over a hot computer I can be seen cycling around the Peak, running up and down hills or playing trumpet in my band Watchthisfirespread.

Occasionally you may hear a faint tapping noise on the night breeze. Though I can't guarantee this will always be the case, this faint tapping you hear may well be me performing surgery on my house!

I'll add to this by telling you that Rob's car has broke and is going to cost £400ish to fix, so he's not a happy bunny at the moment. He unfortunately can't enter our car competitions, but you can! bruhahaha (that was supposed to be an evil laugh)

More Fun4now Clues;
You have to wear a special outfit for the mystery image and the landmark is like a ride. Hope these hints help you to win on Win4now.

Fun4now is evolving

This is the last month that Fun 4 now will be like it is now.

Next month the famous landmark competition is going to be replaced by a Guess who? competition, which will be a series of descriptions & facts about a famous person that you have to guess correctly to win the prize! You heard it first on the Blog, loyal readers.

The competitions are going to get even harder over the next few months to test your brains to the max- be warned! Can you handle it? Are you clever enough? Don't worry though, I'll still be giving you clues on the blog and also on the site a new fun4now clues feature will be live by then....


Mystery image: Think of when your on holiday, not travelling.

Famous Landmark: It's in the UK

Win4now Shout outs -
Any messages you want to share with your loved ones? Let me know and I'll include it in a shout out on the blog for you.

Happy Birthday Toni for this weekend!

Have a lovely weekend everyone and enjoy all of Win4now's new competitions that went live today.

There's no catch on Win4now

It's always really nice to hear from our winning members

Here's a message from a Fun4now image competition winner:

A big thank you. I have just received my cheque for £50 for winning last month's Mystery Image competition. It was my first entry on Win4now and I was very surprised to get your email telling me I was a winner and to be honest I was waiting for the catch. (I wonder how many times you have heard that!) So to anybody reading this it really could be you next time.
J.Parsons

I wonder if J. Parsons used the blog clues?

This message is nice too. Everyone loves our Joy who spreads the good news to the winners.

“Thank you so much for for being the bearer of good news. My comment is that I am simply over the moon to hear that I have won a Playstation 3, my son is going to be well happy now. Thanks to the Win4now site and I will certainly be referring my friends to join the site. Once again thank you Joy for brightening up my day. ”
D.Smith

Thanks for the comments! We're all one big happy family of win4now'ers :)

Keep entering, it could be you next month.

Windscreen wipers & Win4now medals

Warning Moan alert- skip the first paragraph if you want to

When will it ever stop raining? I don't like moaning about stuff that no one can change, but this is getting silly now... I've had to buy some new windscreen wipers for my car because they've had so much action this 'summer'!

Check out this competition if you agree with me. You can Win European Flight Tickets & escape this nasty weather.

A lot of you have already guessed correctly to our Fun4now comps, well done. But here's some clues if you are still waiting to be sure:
Landmark: Tour de France's rider Cadel Evans is from this country
Image: Traditionally yellow balls used.

Remember to give us your opinions on Win4now Survey Poll's, this week we want to know how many gold medals you think we'll win in the Olympics. Win4now has a potential Olympic athlete in the office, the lovely James competes in Trampolining. Team Win4now! Go James.

Wild Goose Chases

Apologies to our faithful blog readers for two reasons; Fun4now clues & holidays away- lies...

1. Fun4now June image - "Toni the muppet" as she's now known, unfortunately gave me the wrong answer to June's landmark. Which mean't that I had been giving clues for Edinburgh Castle when infact it was Windsor castle! I'm very sorry to all of you, that had been following the clues. Please don't lose faith, we'll make sure that it never happens again - the clues are NOT supposed to be wild goose chases!

2. Scottish holidays for me - well as it was forecast rain, rain, rain, I didn't go to Scotland camping after all. I booked a last minute Corfu holiday on Saturday and flew on the Monday! 100'+ hot, relaxing, yummy Greek food & mosquito bites galore.

Right, please believe me that these Fun4now clues are for real:
Image: Rackets are used in this sport.
Landmark: 3 words to describe this landmark, one of those is 'Harbour'

Scottish holidays, green competitions & quick clues

I hope you've had a chance to enter our cracking new competitions, if not get to the site now and enter them all!

I'm heading for sunny (cough) Scotland to go camping & mountain biking at the famous 7stanes man made trails. Fingers crossed it will be dry and there won't be too many midges! Although I have stocked up with Avon Skin So Soft just in case.

We are still after your views for what eco friendly green competitions we can run for you to win.
Also if you or a friend has a small company and wants some free branding, then give us a prize to let our members win! Call us for more details.

So here's some clues for July's Fun4now competitions before I go:

Look at yesterdays first paragraph - theres a clue to the blurred image in there....
The famous landmark picture is quite tricky, I can tell you that the country where it is located is well known for it's corked hats....

Close calls, July Fun4now & new comps galore

Phew! It was a close call at Wimbledon last night, but Andy Murray battled through to the next round. It's nice to see the public & the press supporting home grown players.

Dozens of competitions came off Win4now last night, but don't fret we've got loads more new prizes in July for you to win.
Including these great free giveaways:

£500 cash
£300 Play.com vouchers
Samsung wine cooler
Elliptical trainer
Canon printer
& there will be more added mid month, so don't go far.

Mum's the word, but soon we'll have a new type of competition feature - Wacky Win4now. Crazy competitions that you won't see anywhere else on the web. Sssshhhhh for now though, I'll tell you more nearer the time.


Did you guess last months Fun4now questions right?
June's mystery image was a box of tissues & June's famous landmark was Edinburgh Castle!
I'll give you some clues to this months new Fun4now prizes later this week. Keep your eyes on the blog over the next few days!

I could do with winning this cash prize right now, Win £500 Off Your Bills! Only 10 days until it ends
I've just treated myself to some shiny new bike kit, when I should have been sensible and waited until I'd saved up. Oops.

It's easy to see which prizedraws are going to end soon.

ps. Good Luck Kerry - we've all got our fingers crossed for your exam results to be passes!

One year on after the floods

Well it was about this time last year when most of South Yorkshire & Hull were under water. It took everyone by surprize & caused a lot of people heartache.
I got through it lightly, just having to wade thigh deep through the streets of Sheffield to get home.

One year on, and it's a horrible soggy June, the forecast is rain, rain, rain. I hope it brightens up soon....

We should write to our MP's and see if we can change the clocks so that's its day light saving all year round, as our seasons just aren't what they used to be.

We can't rely on mother nature, so Win4now's here to help with it's funky Fake Bake competition (fake tanning prize) that should help you maintain a summery glow.

Have you taken part in our new members Poll feature?

Fun4now clues - have you got them yet? I thought my last clue was quite good.

Mystery image: made of paper
Landmark: there's also a very famous bridge in the city

Red Bull Flugtag & branding

I watched the UK's Redbull Flugtag 2008 on TV yesterday for the first time and rolled about laughing. It was hilarious!

Basically a team of people make a flying machine and launch themselves off a huge ramp into Hyde Park lake, then they get marked on creativity, performance and distance flown.

It got me thinking what a great branding exercise it was for Redbull who often sponsor extreme sports events & silly stuff like flug tag. So I might mention this to my boss later and see if we could do a Win4now flugtag next year.... I can see us now riding a big orange shaped paper mache plane straight onto Heathrow's terminal 5 :)

Right back to the Fun4now clues!
June famous landmark - Tartan, Kilts & Bagpipes
June mystery image - they also come in plastic packets, but this example is a 'box of'

Forget your cash woes, you still need a holiday

I hope that the credit crunch hasn't affected you & your family too much and you can still afford to go abroad this year.

Win4now would like to save you some pennies, and help you to win lots of freebies & comps. We are just working on adding a new competition tips page to give our members some comping strategies & techniques. We hope this will help you win more prizes this year when everyone's purses are tighter.


Every month we run a Guess the famous landmark competition on Fun4now.

This month I think the picture & site clue is quite hard (blame Toni!). So like the mystery image I'm going to give you a helping hand to Win a Lonely Planet Guidebook of your choice this month.

Where's this famous landmark? It's not in England but is still in the UK and if you look closely you can see the turrets....

June mystery image hint: It also cleans bodily fluids (ewwww)
So it's not a water filter. Read back all the blog posts this month to get a better idea

Big Cash Prizes - Quick Comps

Did you know that Win4now has a prize section called Quick Comps ?
(It's on the right hand navigation bar after you've logged in.)

There are some big money prizes on offer this month. Currently we have prizes varying from: win a Toyota Rav, Win £1000 cash to win a million pounds!

These competitions work slightly different to our usual comps. All the quick comp prizes are sponsored direct from our partners, so in order to enter the competition you have answer our sponsors question.

Keep your eyes peeled on them, because they are updated throughout the month.

More Fun4now clues:
This product is useful for cleaning (liquids)
(hope this helps you Liam C.)

Is the Win4now office like Santa's Grotto?

Where are all the competition prizes kept?

Can we put down 'Win4now elf's' as our job title on our cv's?
Do we have to clamber over piles of prizes to get to our computers?
Do we get to play with the prizes before giving them away? Sadly no. (no matter how much we beg to 'borrow' the wii competition prize or try out the Mini Cooper prize we aren't allowed!)

Some of the prizes are kept in the office (in a locked room), but most of the prizes are ordered online when we have drawn the winner. This is so we can send our winners their prize winnings direct to their house and we can check what colours etc they want the prize in. We pride ourselves on sending our winners their goodies really fast.

June mystery image clue:
I've just checked what the entries are like so far and there's allot of you saying its a teddy bear, a bird, a woman or the incredible hulk!
Not many right answers so far, so the winning odd's are really high if you guess it right this month. My clue to you today is that none of these guesses are right.

Have a good weekend in the sun, check back next week for more clues and competition tips. If you want clues for the other fun4now competitions, just post here and I'll see what I can do to help you.

Alton Towers, Poll's & tapping feet

Cha cha cha cha.

Apologies for that outburst, but I'm listening to cuban/jazzy style band called The Cat Empire and it's making me bop around as I'm writing the blog.

Right back to business!

Win4now has an exciting new feature about to go live in the next few days: Win4now Member's Polls.

Join in the fun and tell us what you think about different subjects from silly stuff to the latest current affairs. Then you can compare what you said, to what all of the other Win4now members think. We hope you enjoy it.

I found out today that we had a technical problem with June's mystery image - so many apologies about that, but it's all fixed now so get entering to win the cash.

Do you want another clue?
I'd imagine sales for this product are highest in Winter.... Got it now? Keep coming back for more clues if not.

ps. Have you seen our new Alton Towers competition? Make sure you enter the comp, no matter how old you are Alton Towers is fun day out and you don't have to have children with you to enjoy it!

Big Green InstantWin4now

How many of you recycle? Cycle to work or have an eco friendly car?
Have you got energy saving light bulbs? How do you actually reduce your carbon footprint? I've heard of the term but I'm not entirely sure how to do anything about it.

But I know a site that can help answer any of my questions about being green. Have a look at this fabulous site Big Green Switch

Win4now & Instantwin4now have been working together with The Big Green Switch for a while now and currently have this Win a Toyota Prius competition. The owner of the site has asked us to suggest a new green competition to have on his site - can you help us think of something unique? (post your comments after this article)

In the meantime get entering green competitions like this Win a Green Makeover & have a look round the Big Green Switch site and see if you can do your bit at home and at work to help the environment. I go on daily to have a look at the green tips of the day.

June's Fun4now clues: The blurred image Is pretty hard again this month, so make sure you check the blog frequently for clues. The item is sometimes seen on the parcel shelves of cars ( I've never understood why people do this?)

What's a Competition Portal?

These are sites that links loads of different sites competitions in one place. They are like directories. (The Yellow pages of competition land!)

Pro's: variety of competition types (quizzes, multiple answers, slogans etc), saves the work for you to trawl the Internet for competitions, easy to sort, usually have communities on the site too like forums.

Con's: you have to keep repeating your details on every site to enter the competitions. There are usually lots of links from different sites promoting the same competition, but you can only enter it once (no matter which site from)

One of the best competition portal sites is: The Prizefinder. We've worked together with Prizefinder for many years now, if your looking for good comp portal, look no further.

Win4now has a mixture of exclusive & 3rd party competitions & Instantwin4now is 100% exclusive prizes. (we pay for them)
Once you have registered or logged in, all you have to do on win4now is press 'enter competition' & on IW select your 3 lucky numbers to enter - you don't have to re fill in your details on each competition. Easy peasy.

Last Fun4now clue in May (surely you've got it now?): wet nose, shiny coat & a bushy tail are all good signs to a healthy 'one.'
