Onwards & Upwards: What’s Next?
Rafflecopter has always been a work-in-progress since day one :) With the release of these new features, it opens up many new exciting opportunities. With this release acting as a foundation, expect to see many more improvements, new features and promotions in the near future. With that in mind, let’s kick it off!
Rafflecopter Premium Launch Giveaway
Listen up because this is going to be a lot of fun! Enter to win one of two iPad minis (16GB) or one of the 25 one-month Rafflecopter Premium Account Subscriptions.
Entering is easy through the Rafflecopter widget below, but we want you to give us your best guess to the following question: how many giveaway entries do you think Rafflecopter will have processed all-time by the time the year is over?
That means how many times was an entry in any Rafflecopter widget submitted from May 2011 all the way up to the end of 2012. We won’t know the answer to this question until January 1st, but we can tell you it’s a big number in the millions! In addition to entering and being eligible to win the sweepstakes, the entrant that guesses the closest to the total number of entries without going over will win the second Apple iPad mini.
You can also receive two additional entries by 1) signing up for our MailChimp email list or 2) by being a fan of us on Facebook. In addition, you’ll also be awarded one entry for each friend you refer who enters the giveaway using the new ‘refer-a-friend’ feature. Use the link given to you on the widget after entering the giveaway (max of 10 referrals per entrant). The first entrant chosen who has been verified will receive an iPad mini.
We’re opening this up worldwide – you can enter up until December 31st at 11:59pm MST. If you have any questions, feel free to shoot us an email. Good luck!
UPDATED: Winners Have Been Announced!
Help us give congrats to Will K. who guessed 192,000,000 total entries. From May 2011 through the end of December 2012, Rafflecopter has processed a total of 192,613,759 entries. *whew* that’s a lot!
