Competitions work for the sponsor- an example

We all do these competitions hoping to win the prize(s) on offer.
Sometimes you may wonder why the sponsor is giving away stuff.
It's advertising and I for one was pleased to see this post on FB:-
"Wow - what a great response to these lights! So many competition entries (congrats to winner Margarita Lens) and on site we nearly sold out over the weekend - just 5 left in stock - get them quick!"
So they(Tribesports) gave away 1 x £38 item and almost sold out as a result of this competition.
Good for them and good for us.
I must say that I have bought from a sponsor whom I had never heard of before I entered one of their comps, so it worked on me too.
