In November I put out a request for my blog readers to tell me their 'Superlucky Stories' – comping tales that have been inspired by my blog or comps that I've posted on the SuperLucky Facebook page! Everyone who emailed a story is in a draw for a tin of yummy Biscuiteers treats, which will be announced when I've published all the entries. Today's story is from one of my older blog readers Sheila, who's been comping for years but has recently ventured into the world of 'creative' comps. Thanks so much for emailing your story Sheila – and good luck for 2012!
And now, over to Sheila..
And now, over to Sheila..
I’ve been comping for many years and over the time I have won some super prizes - in the days of the tiebreaker, I would usually win something every week, be it small or a biggie! I love writing slogans and miss the opportunity to do so these days, with most comps being a prize draw which takes minimal effort – although the prizes can be lovely.
It's only recently that my comping habits have changed, since I started reading Di’s blog and Facebook posts, as well as her articles in Compers News. Since then I haven’t looked back as it has opened a new field for my comping. As I am interested in creativity, Di’s info on all these comps is invaluable to me and I have over the last few months won some fab prizes ...just like the old days!
I have recently won a Flip camcorder and now enter any comps that require a small video, and I’m having so much fun! Recipe comps are another of my favourites - recently I have won two prizes with the same recipe...smoked salmon parcels. I won a Christmas stocking of cheese goodies in one competition, and a £50 Tesco voucher in the other!
I love taking photos too and since I was given a super camera for my birthday, I am now entering any photo comps I see on the Super Lucky Facebook page. Having scooped a £250 voucher with my first effort, this is one area I am going to pursue.
Give creative comps a try, you may find your wins will start coming through again and you’ll enjoy the challenge they give!
