Now this the interesting part, every form that I get filled in, has my ID number on it, and should the person who wins the prize be someone I had spoken to, then I win a £1000. Even better, if the person I got to fill the form in actually joined the company promoting it and started saving money on their household bills, I would also win a BMW Mini!!
I have attended a number of these events before. But they have always been organised and set up by someone else. I just arrange a 3 hour slot to be there and talk to people.
This time, for the first time, I have gone through the process of organising and setting up a Win-a-Mini event. It has been quite an experience keeping in contact with other team members, and sorting out what time slots they wanted. Then it is making sure I have contact details in case any changes needed to be made.
Finally, one thing I needed was the promotional material to display. I could have asked other team members if I could borrow them, but I felt that I would be cheating myself from taking full responsibility. Because my part-time business makes me self employed, I gain substantially from this aspect, by being able to get a tax rebate from Inland Revenue. This year, the tax man gave me back nearly £900. With this money I re-invested it into my business (it will count towards next years tax rebate), and I now have all the promotional materials to provide a noticeable display, which looks quite impressive!
