SXSWi Hates Anything Going VIral
October 3, 2008How do you take any chance of something like say a email based trivia contest from going viral beyond your already subscribed base? Well, if you are the folks at SXSWi you open up the October trivia question for a free pass contest to just those folks who are subscribed to the SXSWi listserve. I’m subscribed, so I can enter, but I and others who like to pass things like this another via blog postings, Twitter, Facebook, etc have no need to if the contest is only open to people who can actually reply to the email from SXSWi.
“THE FINE PRINT: You must be a subscriber to the SXSW Interactive Festival listserve to win. In other words, please reply to this e-mail (and include the listserve copy in your e-mail) when providing the answer to the trivia question.”
Maybe the thought on this is that it will get people to go to sxsw.com and sign up for the emails? How about make the contest rules be that if you submit an answer to a trivia question, you are automatically subscribed?
If you want to grow an email list, the secret is to make it as easy as possible with as few steps as possible and people to add themselves….and don’t forget about the pass alone possibilities.
SXSW Interactive Free Pass Trivia Question – September ’08
September 4, 2008“BONUS: Answer Trivia and Win FREE 2009 SXSW Interactive Registration
…a new element for ScreenBurn at SXSW for
2009 is the Game Design Competition. Showcasing the best new ideas from
emerging game developers, this competition will serve as a great
compliment to the ScreenBurn at SXSW panel programming as well as the
ScreenBurn at SXSW Arcade. Speaking of game developers, for a chance to
win a free registration to next year’s Interactive Festival, please tell
us the name of the world-famous game designer who served as one of the
keynote speakers at SXSW in 2007. Hint: The much-anticipated new
life-creating game that this person has developed (see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spore_(2008_video_game)) goes on sale
September 7 in North America.
THE FINE PRINT: E-mail your answer to hugh@sxsw.com. Please title this
e-mail “SXSW Interactive September Trivia Question.” All answers must be
received by 5:00 pm CST on Monday, September 8 to be eligible for the
drawing. Only one answer / entry / e-mail address per person. The
winning entry will be selected randomly from all the correct answers
received. The winner will receive a FREE badge for the 2009 SXSW
Interactive Festival (March 13-17), but this prize does not cover any
associated travel or lodging expenses. Person who wins free registration
will be notified by e-mail. This person’s name (as well as the correct
