Are "Free Cooking Show" Giveaway's Successful?

[smartcookie]

Hello All! I am manning my first booth this weekend. I am planning on doing a drawing, but am unsure as to what I should give away. I've seen others suggest giving away a free cooking show (where everyone wins), which I think is a great idea, but I have a question; do you post what the prize is (ie "Enter to Win A Free Cooking Show") or is it better to be more vague? Any other giveaway suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! (I LOVE this site!!!) :love:

I offer a $25 gift certificate (redeemable at your cooking show) and call everyone else that they won a free cooking show and explain that I will bring the ingredients, paper products, silverware, and cups for their party.

Hi there! Congratulations on manning your first booth this weekend! It's always exciting to have the opportunity to showcase our amazing products and share our love for cooking with others. I think a drawing is a fantastic idea, and a free cooking show is definitely a great prize to offer. As for how to promote it, I would suggest being specific about the prize, as it will help generate more interest and excitement. You can say something like "Enter to Win a Free Cooking Show with [your name]!" Other giveaway ideas could include a free product or a gift card to use towards a purchase. Best of luck at your booth and have a great time!
