Another Gift Cert Contest - $200!

Well, we felt like we're just not giving away enough stuff recently - so we have a new contest. You might have noticed on our product pages on our site, we now have the ability to run product reviews. And we're getting some every day - thanks!

But now some incentive.

Here's the way the reviews work... You click on the link to write a review on any of the product pages. If you're not logged in as a user, the first review you do, you will have to do one of those "Type the Squiggle Words in The Box" so we know you're a human.. at least sorta' human.

Then you type your review and submit it. It will not show up until we approve the review, to stop spam, profanity, etc. But once we approve it - it shows up there, and if you've done one, you can continue to do as many as you want.

These reviews all get numbered in our database - 1 through how ever many there are. There is a cool little random number generator page I found, and on the first of the month we will randomly generate a number between the first and last review. Who ever has that review - gets a $200 gift certificate.

So this means, we don't have to grade you on punctuation, content, heck even if you didn't like a product, as long as you're not nasty about it - if the review is accepted - it stands a chance of winning. And the more you do, the more chances to win.

Here's an example of a real review out there on the hyperstretch hood... just scroll down the page:

Hyperstretch 5/3 mm Hood, Henderson

I know this will be a great service to our customers to have the reviews, and sure... I could have my employees go type a few hundred every day but I'd rather get honest reviews from you guys.

It's really best to log into the site, and then in your "My Account" area you will see all your reviews, but even if you don't log in, make sure you have a good email address attached to your review (you do not have to make it public) and we will announce the winner, post that review in this thread, and email the winner on the first.

So have at it and let's start doing some product reviews!!

Thanks!
