March on-pack promotions

New to my YouTube channel this week is ‘Di’s Prize Buys’, where I pop to a local supermarket looking for current on-pack promotions, then show you how to enter them. It’s easy enough to sit at home entering hundreds of comps on your computer, but you can’t beat getting out and about looking for that magic word WIN!

Many promotions stand out on the shelves thanks to the packaging or advertising  – but for others you’ll need to be checking a specialist publication like Compers News, or the Promomarketing website to get a heads up on what’s due in store!

If you’re confused about prize draws, instant wins and winning moments then these two blog posts will give you more guidance:

• A guide to Purchase-necessary promotions
