Having once been a small business owner, and now being a webmaster with several websites I guess you could say that I’ve spent quite a bit of time in the last decade or so thinking about sales, marketing and promotion.

Certainly many of your reading this post have your own blogs or websites, and I’m sure you try to think of new ways of promoting them from time to time in order to bring new visitors to your site. I’ve noticed that several blogs have taken to holding contests, both large and small in order to get peoples attention.

The reason why I’m thinking about business, sales and promotion is because I’ve just visited a website called Instant Win Promotions. Companies hold sweepstakes, contests and or even mail or scratch and win cards all the time in order to promote their business or a specific product that they sell.

I think Instant win cards are a great idea.

I know that there’s been times when I’ve gone to a store purposely because I knew they were giving out scratch and win cards that would give me a certain percentage off whatever I was purchasing. Most of those types of scratch and win cards only give you 10% or 15% off, but the promotion often states that some of the cards will give you and even higher percentage off. I’m sure the stores that hold these kind of promotions end up getting more customers visiting their store when they’re giving out scratch and win cards.

I’ve also received scratch and win cards in the mail. Occasionally those scratch and win cards have made me consider visiting a store, or signing up with the fitness club that was holding the promotion.

Those are just a few ways that businesses could use scratch and win cards to promote their business and draw in more customers. It’s certainly worked on me on more than one occasion.
