    What are the all-time great industry promos?

    I remember with Erasercash we gave away 10cars, CE gave away a Viper or two, what are some of the other great promos that you remember?

                      Was never impressed by big ticket giveaways with every join being a raffle ticket and shit like that... Most if not all affiliates which rather have a few more bucks per sale than read ads for a goofy contest they will never win.

                              Yea, I can't remember who all won them, but know we gave them away.

                                  Great promos, so doesn't have to be a big ticket item. Another good one was getting a GFY shirt for making 100posts, that really got the board off to a good start even though it took Tanker and me going all over trying to find a company that would actually print them.

                                          I don't quite understand why that ever stopped. Those shirts were probably $5-10 a piece and everyone loved them. I can understand that it got expensive sending out a bunch... but ad rates are pretty high.

                                              ARS's point store. I know some folks followed (and some may have led) but theirs was the best IMHO.

                                                  I'd have actually purchased shirts, sweartshirts, whatever...had they made them available.

                                                      I think the natnet 50 bucks per room for phoenix this year was a work of genius.

                                                          I never did get my shirt way back then... or the damn hoodie that I won on here a few years later. I was starting to think GFY swag was all just a myth.

                                                                          Most people don't get the chance to fly private ... on the Penthouse jet nonetheless.

                                                                          That "wow" story that you can tell for years to come is better than cash.

                                                                          That would be right up there with being invited to the Playboy Mansion for a private dinner with Hef (not a big party where just about anyone can get into).

                                                                                                              Most people don't get the chance to fly private ... on the Penthouse jet nonetheless.

                                                                                                              That "wow" story that you can tell for years to come is better than cash.
                                                                                                              That is one of the first promos that got my attention... Then I realized that there is no possible way I could ever win it, and moved on

                                                                                                              Ok, I remembered one I thought was fair and rewarding, a few years ago for one of the Playboy mansion parties, Realitycash gave away a pass to every affiliate who sent 30 (?) sales the month before. I thought that was a cool way to reward smaller affiliates and give the chance to attend the party instead of just the bros who scored sponsor passes.
