Free Offers, Freebies, Free Stuff - Pay Nothing!

Win4now has a new section called 'Free Offers' where you can find brilliant freebie offers. How good are we to you huh.


We'll be updating this area constantly to try to give you our members the best freebies the web can offer. This morning we have 'Get 20 Free Photo Prints' and 'Get up to 2 Free SIM Cards From Orange!' up for grabs. First come first serve.

Everyone likes something for nothing, so keep your eyes peeled on this section.

Also if your a company and you have some promotional products you would like to host on Win4now, please contact us! ( Ask for Lucy or Kerry )

Xmas party pictures or lack of....

After all that hype, the amount of photo's we have from our staff xmas party is pretty disappointing! (some bright spark decided to use a film camera, so heres a few phone picture i've found)

It seems we were drinking and partying more than posing...

Check out the scariest santa you've ever seen! That's someone from our call centre in India. They look to be having loads of fun. Kids beware, behave or santa might right hook you ;)

We have 2 new features on Win4now going live. The free offers section & the mystery envelope. Let me know what you think about them.

Free samples, what's the point?

Yesterday I got a Jordons muesli sample through the post. To be honest I don't even remember asking for it, but it had a nicely written letter enclosed that explained I'd requested the sample and they have even included a 50p off token if I decide I like the cereal and buy myself a box.
Great I thought! I love freebies.

Now this got me wondering, what's the point in free samples? Will I actually buy the Jordon's cereal now rather than my Tesco's own brand? The answer for me will be yes; if I like the taste, if it's as healthy as my current brand and the most important factor for me (being a skin flint) - is it as cheap? If they can satisfy these 3 factors, they will have themselves a new customer.

Why do companies do it? Well free samples are a great tool to spread their brand and new product as long as they're confident it should increase sales, as people were so happy with the free sample. (There is a negative risk though - if it's rubbish, it can have a worse effect on the brand, than if not letting so many people know about their product!)

I think that free product samples are fantastic for us the customers. It's a win-win situation.
Thank you Jordon's, and all the other companies who give us consumers something for nothing. :)

Win4now currently has quite a few free sample offers ( look underneath the competitions for our partners offers. ) We will soon have a special free offers section for you, so that you can easily spot the freebies from our other promotions.

We'll also have a Halloween competition on Wacky Win4now going live soon, which we hope you'll enjoy and not be too scared of. (It made me giggle when I was writing it.)

Meet the marketing team part 4

Meet Vicky! Our new affiliate marketing team member. Vicky wrote this to introduce herself to you:

"I think it’s only right that I tell you about my obsession with food as you will probably find out soon enough that I enjoy pretty much all aspects of food. When I am not working I am usually watching cooking shows, reading cookery books or just thinking about food in general. I do try and cook from time to time but would much rather eat food that other people have made and as I only have a camping stove at the moment (we are in the process of having a new kitchen fitted) it can be quite difficult if not challenging!

I have just recently bought a new house and moved to the Sheffield area, hence the new kitchen, so the rest of my spare time is primarily taken up with DIY pretty much or just socializing with friends over a glass of wine.

I am really looking forward to starting my new role within DMRI and have thoroughly enjoyed my time so far."

So young, so naive..... I wonder how long it will take before we crack her ;) hehe


Also today; Going, Going live!

Check out Wacky Win4now & Win4now's Competitions Tips Pages.
Awww look at this little doggy in it's coat. Just one of the Wacky competition prizes you could win our new feature!

We'd love to hear your thoughts on what you think about the new features and if you have any further recommendations to what you'd like to see on Win4now.

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)

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

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!
