Beware the Address Label

May 15, 2012

If you have exhibited in public shows, you have seen them: address-label-packing women sticking their names and addresses on every prize registration in sight. (sorry ladies, but in 29 years in show business, I have yet to see a male doing this)

To avoid them, and anyone else you do not particularly want signing up for your prize, you should:

  1. Only give away something that a potential customer would want.  In other words, only give away what you sell.
  2. Make sure your prize registration doubles as a lead card by asking questions that will identify the registrant as a potential customer.  Then specify that the prize form must be fully filled in and signed for the person to be eligible.
