Talking Our First Holiday Contest!!!

Hey Everyone, first we would like to thank everyone for joining our growing community. We've enjoyed great growth over the past month and we can't thank you enough. As a gesture of our appreciation we will be launching our very first contest. VERY EXCITING

Since the holiday season is just around the corner, we thought it would be appropriate to have holiday themed prizes. Two lucky winners to get a gift that will make your Christmas greener and bring a little cheer to your life

Prize #1
Solar Snowman Stake

Solar snowman stake contains solar panel; stake can be rotated towards sun

Prize #2
Noma Outdoor 70 Mini Icicle LED Light Set, Multi-Coloured

Outdoor 70 mini icicle LED lights provide 80-90% energy savings compared to conventional lighting

Contest Rules:
  • The rules are simple, the two people with the most new member referrals will win. You might have noticed we've added new statistics at the bottom of the forum, you'll see one empty column for referrals. We're hoping to fill this up
  • How do I get a referral? It’s really quite simple, go into your User Control Panel (User CP) at the bottom left column you'll see Invites, enter your friend's names and email address and click Send Invite That simple, takes a minute and you're done

    OR

    Tell a friend about the site when they register they input your member name as the member who referred them That's it
  • The first person to the top(with the most referrals) will have the right of choice for their prize.


Contest ends Dec 1st, so hurry and get those invites sent If you have any questions post them here and we’ll get them answered. Thanks everyone and good luck 

I like the idea of the contest.
However, not all of us are Christian.
Any ideas on the use of alternative energy prizes for other faith traditions?

I read this at work this morning when I experienced a minor glitch with the site.

I think it's a good idea but I do have a thought. I was curious to know if we could get a referral link as well as sending out the emails. I mean, most of the people I know won't sign up for things, so it's useless to send out emails. A referal id would come in handy for those who don't know many people who would join if you know what I mean. Just a thought.

One problem: It's not letting me send more than 2 invites. The email addresses that I input are valid, but I don't know what's happening.

I dont see anything Christian about a couple of light up snowmen or some decorative lights. Its not a solar baby jesus or christmas tree, I think the prizes are appropriate.

Snowmen are snowmen and lights are lights. Period. These are great prizes since they don't come that cheap all the time. Besides free is always good.
