Local business contests do have winners

I am not a big fan of hearing about contests, joining, and then never finding out who won (because I never do). A couple of weeks ago, we announced a contest Office Depot was running to help local business owners. As part of the prize for submitting a winning video, business owners would receive thousands of dollars worth of prizes. Sounded great, so we told all our local CityVoter business owners about the opportunity. A few weeks later, I got a very nice email from Absolute Abstract in Philadelphia telling us they won a prize worth $2000 from Office Depot. Very cool.


We also announced another contest in Dallas where CityVoter was giving away iphone gift certificates to consumers and businesses who downloaded our new "best of" city app. Today, I sent out winners' announcements, and I'm very happy to congratulate Circle Park Bridal in Dallas. They had the most number of customers download the app and email us on their behalf.

While it's fun to compete, not fun to lose, I hope it is at least a little nice to know these contests do have real winners and they're local business owners just like you. See Circle Park's Banner to the right. More fun stuff to come...
