PRIZEDRAWGREETINGSGRTTTEETINGS
Just Imagine if every time you sent or received a greeting card you had the chance to win a prize. Now you don't have to imagine.
PRIZE DRAW GREETINGS cards are just like any ordinary greeting cards except they are supplied with a reply post card which can be used to enter a free prize draw. The free prize draw is subject to the terms & conditions below.
INTRODUCTION TO OUR CONCEPT
In these times of economic uncertainty, with high levels of unemployment, rising poverty and a squeeze on credit, we believe it is time for businesses everywhere to start thinking of other and extra ways of giving something back to the general public who support their businesses year in year out.
Prize Draw Greetings is the new greeting card that comes with a third page which is a detachable reply postcard, the reply postcard is an entry form that can be used by the sender and the receiver of the greetings card to enter a free prize draw. The free prize draws will be held monthly and each reply postcard entry received back to us will be entered into one free prize draw, giving the sender and receiver a chance to win a cash prize.
The UK greeting card industry is worth over 1.3 Billion Pounds annually according to Mintel, worth more than tea and coffee combined, research puts the average number of greeting cards sent at 55 per person per year in the United Kingdom.
Now, we have the idea that it is possible to return a portion of the revenue generated within the greeting card industry back to the general public by holding a monthly free prize draw, which people will be able to enter simply by sending us their name and address on a reply postcard entry.
As you might imagine we have approached some of the larger greeting card companies to see if they would be interested in making some of their card ranges in the Prize Draw Greetings format, unfortunately they were not, presumably because this would entail giving over part of the revenue generated within the industry back to the people who support their businesses, and you can see why this is a no brainer, as their businesses are doing very nicely as they are.
So, we are left with no option but to produce the Prize Draw Greetings cards ourselves, with your support for our concept we hope to steadily increase the amount of prizes given away each month, and we believe there is absolutely no limit on the amount of good this venture can produce for both the greeting card industry and the greeting card hungry British public, if the public support this venture’s ethos and concept.
Greeting cards have always been about goodwill to each other, we know that we can extend this goodwill to include the greeting card industry sharing out some of the proceeds which are generated within this industry to the people who buy and receive their products, the British public, who have made the United Kingdom greeting card industry the most successful greeting card industry in the world, and this is a wonderful indication of the goodwill we feel for each other.
When we started to try and figure out exactly how much goodwill and money is generated within the greeting card industry, we started by searching through the various Rich Lists produced by daily newspapers and magazines and this is what we found.
Andrew Brownsword Worth: £220m Source of wealth:
Greetings cards and hotels.
Don Lewin and Family Worth: £139m Source of wealth:
Greetings cards.
Ron Wood Worth: £105m Source of wealth:
Greetings card and property.
Stephen Haines Worth: £78m Source of wealth:
Greetings cards and gifts.
Simon Elvin and Family Worth: £47m Source of wealth:
Greetings cards.
Duncan Spence Worth: £40m Source of wealth:
Greetings cards.
Anders Hedlund Worth: £40m Source of wealth:
Greetings card and novelty items.
Now that is a total of 7 families or individuals with a combined worth of £669 Million Pounds, so it is easy to see that these people have enjoyed a huge amount of goodwill which is generated by our own goodwill to one another.
With this kind of money swimming around in the greeting card industry, we are sure you’ll agree that there is room for the general public to get their hands on some of this money that they themselves are generating.
We at the Prize Draw Greetings venture are running a business, yes, but it is also a campaign to see how much money we can extract from the greeting card industry and return to the public in the form of prizes in a monthly free prize draw. We are looking to extend the goodwill in an industry which has been built on goodwill.
Remember, you the British public are already sending cards to one and other, so why not send ours and help to bring this change about; our cards will be within the price range of many ordinary greetings cards, so there won’t be any extra expense involved to purchase our cards.
We give you an absolute assurance not to use your name and address details for any other purpose other than to administer the Prize Draw Greetings system, and we will also not ask you for any extra personal information for any other purpose. The only thing you need to do to enter our free prize draw is enter your name and address on one of our reply post card entries, this is no more information than would be on a piece of mail arriving at your house.
At the end of each 12 month period we will publish the amount of prizes our monthly free prize draws have given out and we will describe where those funds within the industry have been extracted from. Remember, this venture will only survive and thrive through your support and you will be able to judge for yourselves our progress year on year.
Now that we are starting out, our cards will be produced in only a limited range, but later on when we have been able to convince other greeting card publishers that our concept is worthy and supported by the British people, we are hoping that other greeting card publishers will want to produce some of their own greeting card ranges in the Prize Draw Greetings format.
And it maybe that some people will send our cards as an extra card along with a traditional ordinary greeting card which conveys some sentiment. Either way, we are sure our product will be good for the greeting card industry as a whole and at this time we are producing all our greeting cards within this United Kingdom.
We will shortly be contacting registered charities to make sure our card ranges can be bought at seasonal times in aid of chosen charities just like many ordinary greeting cards can be, and as soon as we have this organised we will post details on this website and hopefully create a separate website to deal with that service.
We ask you to choose Prize Draw Greetings and make this venture a success and we believe in these uncertain economic times it is no more than the British public deserve.
Our mission is to see if we can take part of a business which is already thriving in this kingdom and turn it into something new which will benefit many more people rather than just a select few.
Come and join us in “The Greeting Card Revolution”. TM
GOOD LUCK IN THE PRIZE DRAWS.
