Cars, Holidays, Cash, Shopping sprees, Diamonds, designer clothes...Every day thousands of fantastic prizes like these are being won by ordinary people like you or me. My own list of wins include a £16,000 car, holidays to Paris and Miami,£1000 cash, £1,500 designer clothes shopping spree at Selfridges (with personal shopper), playstations, and dozens of other goodies. I haven't been seriously comping for long, but have been fortunate enough to learn from more experienced 'comping champs' who were willing to share their secrets of success. Now it's my turn to share my secrets with you. Thanks to Julian and this brilliant new comping website, I'll be helping you to scoop the prizes of your dreams and Carry On Comping! 1. ENTER, ENTER, ENTER! It's no good sending off a couple of entries and expecting the postman to struggle to your door, laden with goodies. You have to enter absolutely everything in sight. That way, when a closing date passes you won't get depressed and give up because you didn't win. Every day will be full of opportunities to receive that winning e-mail or phone call, or jiffy bag. Don't be surprised if you don't win the comp you thought was a dead cert, but you do win the ones you didn't have much hope for. My car came from a slogan which I thought was not one of my best. 2.INTERNET COMPS When entering competitions on the net, don't dismiss the smaller prizes like CD's and T-shirts. These tiddlers will keep you going in between the 'biggies' My family are never short of a T-shirt! 3. POSTCARDS .Buy postcards in bulk and organise a posting system so you never miss a closing date. My own is a month by month open boxfile which is easy to access and always full of potential winning entries. Expect about a one in a hundred return on postcard entries. I't doesn't sound much but you only need one £5,000 holiday to make you realise it's worth it! 4.TIE-BREAKERS This is where you can reap rich rewards. These are the comps where you have to complete a tiebreaker such as a slogan or an estimate etc. If you are a beginner, it's probably best if you subscribe to a comping magazine such as 'Competitor's world' There you'll find, slogan-writing help and support and get to read the slogans that are currently winning the prizes. The most important secret I can tell you (But which might be disputed by others) Is Enjoy! Don't sweat and strain trying to think of a winner. Have fun. An hour basking in the sun or peaceful swim can get those creative juices flowing far quicker than sitting in front of a blank piece of paper. And while you're about it, visualise enjoying those lovely prizes,Think like a winner and you Will be a Winner! HAPPY COMPING Lesley Dawn
