1000th post! Need some ideas!
So...1000 posts of white noise and meaningless drivel, and here we are! As most of you can infer, I have a rather tiny brain. I mean...there's really only two functioning cells in there, and one of those is on vacation. So help a gal out here: I need some ideas for a 1000th post Celebration Giveaway.
We have some time. I-B has a current giveaway in progress, and I don't want to interfere with that. But I can't seem to come up with a cracking idea for a giveaway of my own. I have at least 10 watches to give out; a mix of mechanical and quartz, analog and digital. But how to do it? A quiz? On what? I can't really do a "what watch am I going to buy next" thingy, because *I* don't even know the answer to that! Help!
Thanks!
~Sherry.

Generous idea to give back to this community
Here is a recipe / idea:
- Show all 10 or so watches that can be included in the give-away.
- Ask participants to pick their favorite three. One entry per person only and order is important.
- Let this run for a given time (you can be "creative" here too),
- Count the votes
- Top 3 goes; for each piece, draw names from the people who had listed that one as their favorite.
- Repeat (starting at step 1) when you reach 2,000 posts

How about you have participants write a paragraph or so on a watch related topic e.g.
- which watch do you feel is the best ever and a brief explanation of why you feel this?
You could then just judge the entries and perhaps have a real life (non WIS) help you with the process. then pick the top 3, choose another 2 topics down the line and pick another 3 from each of those, then poll the top 1 from each of the catergories and have the members vote for the overall winner and last watch?

That's pretty much EXACTLY what I did on watchuseek. Got people to post a photo with the day's date showing (ie. no stock photos) and tell me why it's their favourite watch. Then I got my friends to help me pick a winner (so my biases wouldn't' interfere). Worked out really well.
