  • Hi All,

    When i began competitions recently, I thought if i entered postal comps it would increase my chances of winning. At first i used blank postcards, but thought picture postcards may attract more attention, however i do not live near a cinema/tkmax/ starbucks etc[all suggested places to pick them up], so i googled "postcards free samples" and got sent promotional packs, some usable,some not. I thought this might be of interested to mse's wishing to start postals!

    Ps. Im yet to win from a postal entry though i live in hope!!

    My friend went to cinema last week & brought me some postcards back, she's a sweetie, then I went to Pizza Hut tonight next to cinema so it was rude of me not to pop in LOL I've now got over 500 including the ones I'd made from xmas cards hoping these will last me a while cos I was running out before!!!
    I went to the cinema last night, was excited to see the postcard rack, as I never remember to get these, rushed over but someone had beaten me to it. Maybe you or your friend beat me to it! Will have to check their again next week.
  • When I went today there was 100's left, mostly 'Australia' ones but I took about 20-30 & left racks full, I wouldn't take so many if there was only a few left.

  • I have just gone through this entire thread now I have more postcards & have found 20 that I had missed, some from the first few pages, so it is worth going through the WHOLE thread if you have time because some of them have long dates on them HTH x

    No hun - the ones on here are just phone, text or postal - any that are email or web entry are posted on the main forum. Some of the comps posted on this thread may have links in them to websites showing details of the comp or (like in my post above) a link to where you could be staying/winning IYKIM. :)
