I want to give back to my community by offering a high dollar service for free to one winner of a random draw. I was planning on posting this online to get people to email me in order to be entered. Am I allowed to say you have to live within a certain radius to enter (so that I dont have to drive 4 hours to the winner)?
You must log in or register to comment.
My good man/woman, you are giving away a service. You can set whatever conditions you’d like.
You can say winners must live within a certain radius to win, or residents of xyz county. Or you can give back to the community by giving the service to a local school or charity and get better publicity/word of mouth that way.
It’s your giveaway you can do whatever you want.
Or just have everyone enter and pick a winner within your chosen area.
Whenever I do giveaways it’s “random” but I tend to choose positive people who would benefit from receiving the items, and a bonus is if they tend to leave reviews for other people.
I don’t like doing actually random giveaways because I feel they’re pointless. I want people to benefit from my product or make the best use out of it as possible. An added bonus is if they have a higher chance of telling other people.
Sometimes I do mushroom (food) giveaways on reddit and my winners are always people who post in r/poor or the budget subreddits etc., for example. I choose them regularly over people who have posted photos of their own grows, hauls, or if they seem very well off. Single moms, single dads, genuinely good people etc. are heavily prioritized.
It’s my stuff and I’m paying shipping, I’ll do what I want 🤷♂️
You can, as long as it’s not a protected class you’re discriminating against. You can say within X miles of your office. You can’t say you have to be a particular race.
You probably want to run it by a lawyer, cover your bases, write you up one of those terms and conditions leagaleze paragraphs you hear radio ads run through at inhuman speeds.
