How Should The 2014 $500 Giveaway Be Structured?

29/9/2014

Last year I carried out my first "Neno Natural's #Crazy500s Giveaway". The point of the giveaway is to show appreciation to the people that follow me by email for staying subscribed.

Last time, I gave the entire $500 to one person. However, this year, I thought I would get your opinion on the best way to structure this giveaway so please take the poll. 

  1. Should I split the $500 between 1, 2, 5 or 10 people?
  2. Would you prefer cash or an Amazon gift card?

I don't mind the sharing part. I think Amazon will be wonderful for us out of the states and the U.K

I think it should be split between multiple winners, but as cash.

Heather,
I must say that i agree with most, that the prize should be split in 3 ways (1st, 2nd, 3rd) naturally with 1st place getting more and so forth down the line. I also think it should be given in cash and/or with an Amazon Gift Card. Good Luck with having the baby. It will bring you so much joy. :-)

Hi Heather,

I thought the giveaway was fine the way it was, but if you're looking for change then you could try a 1st, 2nd and 3rd places in the giveaway with the 1st being a little more in depth if that makes any sense. And besides you shouldn't be worried with that sort of stuff, just concentrate on bringing that healthy bundle of joy into the world...:-) Peace & Blessings

This little one likes to keep me up after 4 a.m. (!) and I need to occupy my head with something :)

Amazon gift card

bonita jones
2/10/2014 11:31:44 pm

share the 500 give away for cash

Donna London
2/10/2014 11:32:06 pm

Either way. Maybe try splitting it this year to see how it works for you.

Nadege
2/10/2014 11:36:41 pm

i think the best option is
1st place (cash with something else)
2nd place ( less cash with something else)
3rd place (something else)

Bridget
2/10/2014 11:38:03 pm

I think the $500 giveaway should be split among 2-3 people.

Victoria
2/10/2014 11:39:01 pm

I think an Amazon gift card would be amazing and so would cash. Whatever you decided will be fine. :) Be blessed !

Donielle
2/10/2014 11:45:13 pm

I like the suggestion Nadege made. 1st, 2nd and 3rd prizes.

Juanita
2/10/2014 11:54:25 pm

I like the idea of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd prizes, and I think cash with a little something else like a product you endorse would be a great idea as well.

Claudia link
2/10/2014 11:58:39 pm

Hi Heather,
I am fairly new to your forum but I think if you are conducting a yearly giveaway then one or two individuals should benefit from this
but as indicated earlier by Nedege, you can become creative with maybe cash and products.

kad
3/10/2014 01:42:27 am

I am with the others on 1, 2, 3 and perhaps a mix-up of cash and "something else". It is an honor no matter what you offer. Additionally, take care of yourself as you await your new family member (smile)

Lila link
2/10/2014 11:59:06 pm

You probably have so many people to choose from so it won't really matter if 1 or 3 people win something otherwise I'd suggest you give $1 to 500 of your top subscribers.
I say give it all to the best. The full $500.

Kenny
3/10/2014 12:00:29 am

Hello, it will good if u share it. Thanks

Jenn
3/10/2014 12:16:28 am

I vote for splitting it and having Amazon gift cards.

Camisha
3/10/2014 12:16:45 am

I would say share it will allow more people to have a chance at winning. The amount little larger than the next winner.More people would have the opportunity to share this wonderful gift you giving.Thanks

chrystal
3/10/2014 12:19:45 am

If you are looking forward to something new this year do a 1st 2nd and 3rd place winner 3rd place winner can get a gift card or so 2nd place winner can get a year supply of products and the 1st place winner will get the 500 dollars

Rose
3/10/2014 12:21:28 am

I would 2 to 3 people, cash & products.

Marcie
3/10/2014 12:23:44 am

I guess I'm selfish. I would be fine with winning the $500. Cash would be fine :-)

Sheryl
3/10/2014 12:42:27 am

I think 2 winners $250 each and cash is always nice.

Bluey702
3/10/2014 12:47:08 am

I would agree with having several winners. More joy for more people...a 1st, 2nd & 3rd place arrangement would be nice and if you have some products to give away you could then make the prizes different...imho!

Tierra
3/10/2014 12:58:41 am

I think the 500 prize should remain as cash but split between 3 people. This way a number of people can walk away as a winner :)

Michelle
3/10/2014 01:05:46 am

I think u award it to multiple people.

elizabeth
3/10/2014 01:06:06 am

Just share it in grades

Forgena
3/10/2014 01:34:35 am

Gift card

Audrey
3/10/2014 01:42:28 am

I don't really know. Whatever you decide is fine.

Monica
3/10/2014 02:54:49 am

Dividing the cash between 5 people ( $100-a nice amount ) would be good and giving it out on Amazon gift cards would also be good, because people are always purchasing items ( they can get your items there ) on Amazon.

poupee
3/10/2014 03:35:47 am

Share it by doing Amazon gift card

Bose
3/10/2014 03:40:58 am

1st prize & 2rd prize would be better.

SALOME
3/10/2014 03:44:31 am

I think sharing is caring so it would be nice to split it. Either cash or gift cards are splendid because who ever wins has won something that they would probably not have had in the first place

donna
3/10/2014 04:23:23 am

amazon gift card

Latissia
3/10/2014 04:25:23 am

I believe anything you decide is great because it is something that you are doing to show appreciation. I also want to take the time to say "Thanks" for all of the great information that you share. Your blogs and YouTube videos really helped me to transition to my natural state.
Blessings to you and your family

Diane
3/10/2014 04:37:15 am

I vote to split it. I agree that sharing is caring.

karis
3/10/2014 04:41:26 am

Not like I ever win anything lol but a couple of $50 amazon gift cards sound nice.That way more people can win instead of just 1,or 2. Either way I think its cool that you do a giveaway in the first place.

Yolanda
3/10/2014 04:56:09 am

Amazon gift card

Keisha Joseph
3/10/2014 05:27:05 am

Amazon gift cards

Loving these comments. Thank you! I'm enlightened.

Bella
3/10/2014 07:48:44 am

I think it would be nice to have three winners that win a cash prize. I hope all is well :)

Nia
3/10/2014 08:13:25 am

Sharing cash is great! Even think it could be split to where 1st place gets a bit more than 2nd and 3rd. Have a wonderful weekend!

jinelle
3/10/2014 09:29:47 am

It would be great if you could split it between a few people. An amazon gift card would be perfect. That way, we spend on something fun instead of everyday necessities.

Sandra
3/10/2014 10:08:00 am

If I were the winner I'd want to be the only cash winner. If someone else won, then I'd say have maybe 4_5 winners (cash or amazon). Either way, thanks for all you do!

Carolyn
3/10/2014 03:36:10 pm

I think that it should be split between two or five it would be nice, you have so many ladies that follow you it would be impossible to please them all so God bless you!!!

Joy
3/10/2014 08:36:38 pm

Split it in two. Cash. Then people can spend it how they want especially if money is tight.

Jasmin
3/10/2014 09:35:02 pm

I think the prize should be shared. Amazon gift card is a great idea.

Sheena
3/10/2014 11:24:44 pm

Cash is king and I don't want share !

Tamekia Parker
4/10/2014 03:02:09 am

I believe it should be split between two persons and cash preferably to allow one to use it how they'd like.

Gina
4/10/2014 12:36:39 pm

You are so.. blessed and it's awesome that you want to share with others. I'm glad you posted the video of last year's winner.

Based on the winner’s response, I think cash will be the best prize anyone could receive.

If you are considering changing what you've been doing, it would be simpler to divide the money between 2 people.

Tish
4/10/2014 09:50:50 pm

Hello Heather,
I like the idea of sharing the prize. Cash as the prize gives the winner more options to use. I agree with Nadge on the prize distribution breakdown. Whatever you decide it will be a blessing to someone.

Charity P.
4/10/2014 11:47:35 pm

I think splitting cash would be a good idea.

Yetta
5/10/2014 02:34:27 am

Splitting the award in decreasing amounts or in gift cards increases the number of chances for an individual to win. Whatever you decide...blessings to you. Your information is valuable regardless of the prizes you offer. Thank you for the opportunity in sharing my opinion.

Florence
5/10/2014 02:43:30 pm

splitting it between 2 to 3 peeps will be great

Hillz
5/10/2014 03:52:52 pm

Hey!

I can't wait to see the photos of the new member of the family.... Will definitely be beautiful or handsome as the parents.

I will vote for cash and among 3 people, but honestly I think what ever you decide to give your subies will be honored.

Love and Peace :)

Deborah R.
6/10/2014 07:42:47 am

I also agree that the prize money be shared amongst 2-3 winners awarded in gift cards.

Kekeli
7/10/2014 06:09:00 pm

I think it could be split among 1st, 2nd and 3rd positions. And Amazon gift cards would be great!

Star Bellinger
7/10/2014 08:40:31 pm

You should split it. Sharing is nice!

Mandy P.
8/10/2014 01:11:25 am

I think that you should split it between 3 winners:; payment can be done by PAYPAL since it's easier and convenient for everyone.

1st winner: $250
2nd winner: $150
3rd winner: $100

Thank you and God Bless you richly for being so generous!

Heather, I think that there should be a cash prize to be shared between 3 people.

Cynthia

Do three prize.
