A competition poll was recently placed on a popular website to find out what people wanted from an online competition.

Overwhelmingly the poll showed that people want competitions with multiple prizes. This of course increases the chances of the entrant winning, even if they do win just a small prize. However, when you think back to how many times you have won a prize in a competition. Is it never or once? Because it so seldom happens, even winning a nominal prize can be thrilling.

The poll also showed that people prefer quick and easy to enter competitions without questions. This brings the competition down to sheer luck, without any kind of knowledge needed, in the same way as a raffle. This puts all the entrants on an even footing, everyone has the same chance of winning, making the competition fair.

The poll results show that a very small group, just 4% did not enter any competitions of any kind at all. Because it is such a small group, it could lead us to believe that this group of people are either very sceptical of competitions or that they are wealthy and have a means of providing for themselves and do not need to win a competition.

On the flip side it does indicate that 96% of people do enjoy entering online competitions.

If you are thinking of hosting an online competition it may be worth taking into consideration the information taken from the online poll. Creating a quick and easy to enter competition with multiple prizes we ensure you hold a successful competition with many entrants.
