Here's the second blogging contest for you. Once again, this blog post is worth a drawing for 1 winner to get a $50 amazon.com gift card contest.

And, since the sweepstakes is running for until 12/10, you can enter multiple times.

You can post for each week ending:

11/22
11/29
12/6
and the week the sweepstakes ends on 12/10.

Sweeps winners are going to be announced on 12/11, and so will blog contest winners for those of you who helped promote the sweepstakes.

In your blog posts, if you could give a shout out to our sweeps sponsor, the great folks over at Offers.com. They are supporting our sweeps with gift cards to the tune of over $1700 in prizes for 15 lucky HCW members.

In order to be eligible for the sweeps, you'll need to direct your blog readers to our sweepstakes thread, and they do need to register as a member of HCW to be eligible.

So, feel free to enter up to 4 times here in this thread. Be sure to link your post here in order for it to count, and tell us a bit about you and your blog. Hopefully, you'll pick up some new readers as a result.

Thanks, and good luck!

Are you ready? We need your help. We have 6 days to get 2000 responses to our survey.

Here's the deal.

Please post and encourage your readers to participate in our Black Friday Consumer Shopping Habits survey. We hope to use the information we get to inform retailers about what they should be doing differently with their Black Friday ads and sales.

Here's the link to the survey:

Black Friday Consumer Shopping Habits - Zoomerang Online Surveys

You can only do the survey once.

There will be a 2nd survey after Black Friday (and a second blogging contest).

People who do both surveys will be eligible for a chance to be drawn for a $50 Gift Card from Amazon.com. People who are chosen to participate in the follow-up phone interviews will be compensated $100.00 in the form of an Amazon.com GC.


For the purpose of the blogging contest, all bloggers who blog the survey and then post a link in this thread will be put in for a $50 Amazon.com Gift code.

But, it's also a chance for you to share your blog with Hotcouponworld. So, be sure to tell us about your blog, link the blog post to this thread, and share anything else about your blog/topic that you'd like HCWers to know.

We appreciate your help. This blog contest will end at 5pm on Thanksgiving day.


Thanks - and happy blogging!

The survey just launched and it closed at 11:59pm Pac time on Thanksgiving.

We're trying to get at least 2000 responses in the next 6 days and we need your help.

If you could take the survey, that would be great.

If you can pass the survey link along in an email to your friends and family, that would be even better.

And if you're a blogger, if you could post it on your site and share with your readers, that would be great.

Also, if you're a blogger, there's a blogging contest this week about it. I'll update this OP with the link as soon as I get it posted. But I wanted to get the survey launched first.

There are going to be some GC drawings associated with this, and if you're chosen for phone interview, you'll be paid for your time with an Amazon.com $100 GC.

We appreciate your help as we believe this research will help us all save money in the long run.

We are collecting personal data, but we have no intentions to use it outside this survey, nor will we be sharing your information with the retailers who get the study results.

Thanks so much!

Julie & Heidi
