I guess I wouldn't benefit too much from that prize. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-stuff-would-you-want-to-win-in-a-hellobee-contest/page/2#post-292990 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 08:37:34 +0000 looch 292990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: yeah, I agree, for most photographers it doesn't make sense. But if you're talking about Jose Villa caliber photogs, for example, the exposure is huge. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-stuff-would-you-want-to-win-in-a-hellobee-contest/page/2#post-292989 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 08:34:44 +0000 MamaMoose 292989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: I've never heard of that. That's pretty cool!!</p> <p>@looch: I just think with travel it probably wouldn't be worth it to the photographer. The cost would be too high, and their chances of getting repeat business from the winner or additonal business from people who entered but didn't win would be very low. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-stuff-would-you-want-to-win-in-a-hellobee-contest/page/2#post-292941 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 07:20:16 +0000 Andrea 292941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: @looch: It could be a national company, like Bella Baby. They offer services in many states! </p> <p><a href="http://www.bellababyphotography.com/baby/contact" rel="nofollow">http://www.bellababyphotography.com/baby/contact</a></p> <p>Of course that does leave out people who live internationally, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-stuff-would-you-want-to-win-in-a-hellobee-contest/page/2#post-292937 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 07:16:44 +0000 looch 292937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: A lot of photographers offer to travel to weddings, so I'd think it can be accommodated as part of the give away, no? I also assumed that the contests would only be open to US residents...not sure where I got this from. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-stuff-would-you-want-to-win-in-a-hellobee-contest/page/2#post-292933 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 07:13:39 +0000 MamaMoose 292933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: @looch: I would LOVE a photo shoot too but how would it work for a give away of services? We are all spread out all over the world. The provider wouldn't be able to travel to where ever the winner lives. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-stuff-would-you-want-to-win-in-a-hellobee-contest/page/2#post-292921 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 06:58:46 +0000 looch 292921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: good points, I concur!</p> <p>I'd love to win a family photo shoot and maybe a printing of 100 cards, perfect for the holidays!</p> <p>Another cool thing would be a membership to a place like Gymboree or Kindermusic...less stuff, more experiences! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-stuff-would-you-want-to-win-in-a-hellobee-contest/page/2#post-292917 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 06:54:17 +0000 T.H.O.U. 292917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the idea of smaller give aways but more of them. The HUGE giveaways seem to attract a bunch of fake users that want to sign up to win something. Keep it small and reward the regular posters. Is there a way to limit give aways for people with like 10 posts or more? Or if you have X number of posts you get an incrementally extra number of chances to win? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-stuff-would-you-want-to-win-in-a-hellobee-contest/page/2#post-292911 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 06:51:11 +0000 Andrea 292911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tequiero21: what a great idea! </p> <p>I'd be excited to see contests that are a little more general like a free photo shoot or massage gift certificate because while Sophie and A+A blankets are great -- a lot of us have those items already. Staying in the higher end range also keeps it to products that most people do not already have so I like that idea, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-stuff-would-you-want-to-win-in-a-hellobee-contest/page/2#post-292904 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 06:36:49 +0000 winniebee 292904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In addition to all o f the FANTASTIC ideas for baby loot, how about mama pampering items? Beauty products, workout DVD, books, magazines, trendy diaper bag, massage oils, you get the picture! (can apply to dads too!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-stuff-would-you-want-to-win-in-a-hellobee-contest/page/2#post-292899 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 06:31:00 +0000 sera_87 292899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: the only 'true' subsidized daycare is Quebec. Where I am (Ontario) it's subsidized based on income and there's a loooooooong waiting list. ;)</p> <p>But yes. The US should really get on the ball with that whole 'paid maternity leave' schtick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-stuff-would-you-want-to-win-in-a-hellobee-contest/page/2#post-292615 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 19:47:28 +0000 pastemoo 292615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tequiero21: :) I have to learn how to make one first!

I love the elephant print. Can you do a giveaway of that? :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-stuff-would-you-want-to-win-in-a-hellobee-contest/page/2#post-292523 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 18:21:00 +0000 MamaMoose 292523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A really high end video monitor would be a hit too.</p> <p>The only issue with gear is that the pregnant mamas would be much more likely to enter and want to win. Once you have the baby you probably also have the gear you need. Even if you did a give away of a stroller that is nicer/more expensive than the one I have I'm probably not going to enter because I don't need another stroller even if it would be an upgrade. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-stuff-would-you-want-to-win-in-a-hellobee-contest/page/2#post-292517 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 18:07:02 +0000 mrbee 292517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bebefly: yah but you get paid maternity leave and subsidized daycare! I think you come out ahead!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-stuff-would-you-want-to-win-in-a-hellobee-contest/page/2#post-292515 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 18:05:22 +0000 sera_87 292515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oooh, car seats/strollers/cribs, slings, cute etsy stuff (clothes, diaper bags, etc), diapers (either cloth or disposable).</p> <p>One thing that would be AMAZING is if you could make the giveaways eligible for both US &amp; Canada. A lot of times I find a good website/deal &amp; then find out they don't ship to Canada, which sucks). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-stuff-would-you-want-to-win-in-a-hellobee-contest/page/2#post-292513 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 18:01:39 +0000 tequiero21 292513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree w @artbee...

I love giveaways and enter them all the time but have never won one! I have the worst luck ever :(</p> <p>It would be cute to do a feature like you do where there's the contents of a blogger's diaper bag or their favorite registry items, then you could enter to win a package of those items (though it might be hard to gather all those)</p> <p>I love the idea of the postnatal mama care kit, too. </p>
