There is a £25 Shoes Voucher up for Grabs in our Advent Calendar Draw today - see the link below in the previous post! Good Luck and honestly? I would rather give the prize to one of our followers than a professional comper which is where the traffic seems to be coming from! - so go on! give it a go

Same post on both sites, I've had to comment on their narrow minded attitude.

UPDATE... Both posts and all negative comments on them removed now, bit of an apology posted but didn't seem sincere.

I loved reading all the comments!!

Thanks for bringing this to our attention gizmobenny :T:T

I too have purchased many times from companies (often the more bespoke ones that do charge more for unique products but which I just fall in love with - plus I love to support UK businesses too).

Comping opens up a whole world and new opportunities all the time that we might never encounter if we didn't have our wonderful hobby - oh, if anyone knows where I can sign up to become a 'professional' comper please let me know - do I need to do any exams to earn this title!! :rotfl::rotfl:

oh dear prime example of how to make or break your company! Bit of a pr fail there! Can see the post being deleted very soon. Clearly compers dont ever need to buy shoes. How naive of them x

Oh I have tried so hard this morning to keep my high horse in the stable but I'm afraid it's now escaped and running wild!

The term "professional comper" really gets on my nelly (and I'm not even sure which part of my anatomy that is). Grrrr.

professional
prəˈfɛʃ(ə)n(ə)l/
adjective

engaged in a specified activity as one's main paid occupation rather than as an amateur.
"a professional boxer"

One's main paid occupation! Now that would be grand. Why don't these moaning minnies give it a try. I'd love to know the results.

Right off to wrestle the horse back into the stable

It felt really good un-liking those pages!

Thx OP.

This does annoy me, I've just bought a Christmas present from http://www.madoldcatlady.com/ A comper on here named them as an example of a company she'd continued buying from after winning a comp as she was so impressed with them. Without the recommendation from a fellow comper I'd never have known they existed. (They are amazing!).

I am too busy comping :rotfl: to like your pages anyway that is all I can say !

There are several things I have been buying for years now and found originally via a comp, I've even bought things because I was so impressed it was a case of if I don't win that I'll buy one.

One item, me , my mother and my aunt all bought after I entered a comp (and didn't win) because it proved so useful.

Silly people!

Me too! I doubled my budget for my niece's Christmas present last year after seeing a coat in a comp, failing to win it but falling in love with it. As said before it's a pity people don't realise that compers spend money as well as trying to win things.

Maybe I am being extra dim but I truly thought that was why companies/organisations held comps... to attract more custom.

*tut* What do I know!

also panasonic have been blocking compers for their prize on twitter
