Suppliers - can you donate to the cause??

[kristin]

I have pledged to donate one of my ecig cases by raffle for every 1,000 petition signatures.

http://EcigsSaveLives.info

Anyone want to match that?? We can have 2nd & 3rd prizes, too!

Atty packs, bottles of liquid - whatever you can contribute would help!

Let's motivate people to save ecigs!!

 

[TSI]

Well, that is another great idea.

We would contribute with 5 bottles of any type of e-liquid of the signers choice incl shipping to nr.: 800! (seems to be 737 petition signers at this moment)

Just how do I found out the adress of this person?

I confirm the above offer. Just let me know and I will contact the person, when possible.

I'm not a supplier, but I'd be happy to sponsor a raffle for the next 500 signatures.

I'll put up the money for the prize up front.
I can send it to CASAA if it will be put aside for this.
Or whatever it takes.

Anything up to $100 would be fine.

Just let me know how to go about it.
And ideas for what the prize should be are welcome!!

How about a Tasty Vapor gift box, mixed to the winners liking?
Or a Chuck, or maybe just let the winner decide?

Seriously, just let me know.

Hmmm...that would be David Jones. Not sure how we can contact him, though - let me see if I can get his email addy....


Yep, I have it. Want me to let him know to contact you? We have to announce this somewhere, too!

I honestly have no idea how to go about doing that. I would keep it at 1,000 signatures though - we want to get those puppies a-signin'!

I guess we could call it a "$100 Vaping Credit" good at the vendor of your choice?

 

[mauisun]

we would be happy to jump on board with eliquid, FlavourArt condensed or whatever...

 

[Slickstick]

I will do the same as well Kristin.

 

[DC2]

I stongly suggest using your original approach of a raffle rather than a prize to signature number xxx because the latter approach might just stop people from signing. If everybody waited until that signature number approached before signing, nobody would ever sign.

 

[Kimerpuff]

We would love to donate a DIY Artisans Apprentice Kit for raffling!

Thanks Again Kristin for all you do!

 

[pintail64]

i kind of liked the idea of signature #800 getting something......but only because it was me.

Seriously though....With enough suppliers donating....you would be able to pick random numbers from the first 1000 signatures to give prizes away too.

 

[DC2]

It's easy enough to pick a random winner in a raffle, but how would one go about making sure the correct person is claiming the prize? Because if I can figure out how to do this, I'll go ahead with it.

And yeah, I'll keep it at 1,000 signatures.

 

[kristin]

OK, we'll just pick 3 random numbers when we hit 1,000 then 2,000 and so on.

DC2 - winners will have to confirm their email address with me - so that shows who they are! My only concern is accidentally picking someone who isn't on the forum or just a friend of a vaper. That's easily worked out, though.

 

[VRubin]

Awesome guys, so cool!!!

 

[kristin]

I've PMd the mods to see if we can post about the petition donations outside of this forum - I'm afraid it would be pointless if it was only discussed in here.

 

[Outlander]

Kristen,

We will donate a 30ml bottle of e-liquid, winners choice, for every 1000 sigs up to 25,000 sigs. We will also pay postage for delivery within the USA.

Perfect, just let me know what to do and it's done.

Agreed.

 

[kristin]

After a little discussion with DC2 and Rolygate, we're going to post a thread in the fundraising forum and do a raffle for raising awareness of the petition vs. tying the raffle directly to the petition. (Don't want to be accused of "buying" signatures.) The ECF member's post number in the fundraising thread will be their raffle number. We can hold a drawing for every 1,000 signatures.

For those generous vendors donating prizes, I need to know if it's a one time donation or one prize for every drawing? Probably looking at a total of 10-15 separate prizes if donating for every drawing.

I know I said this was a good idea, but I can envision the same people posting hundreds of times per day in such a thread. I don't know that there is any way to prevent that. It could get kind of crazy.

Wish I had thought that through a little more.


Got any good ideas?

 

[kristin]

Posting more than once disqualifies you from the raffle.

Oh yeah, you can click on "Replies" and it tells you how many posts each person has.

Forgot about that!
