Postal Entry Comps

[petersh1954]

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to improve my chances of winning Comps with postal entries . Many thanks to all who reply.

send in more entries.

Try with coloured envelopes, Lidl often have offers and they are not expensive.

Good luck for the future!!

Make sure the answer is correct.
Use a postcard rather than an envelope
Use as large an envelope/card as possible (so long as it won't be classed a s a large letter for postal costs)
Make the envelope/card as brightly coloured as possible.
Make the envelope.card feel unusual to touch
Send in more entries.
Send in either early or last minute. The entry will either be nearer the top or bottom of the pile depending on if/how they tip them out- that's probably better than being right in the middle.
Enter online instead if possible

Torah - they don't, I have won many lovely prizes with picture postcards & bright envelopes.

Make sure that the address on the envelope is printed EXACTLY as it says on the competition entry form, no variations.

With the price of stamps these days is it worth it?

I just go for internet entries.

like you i send a lot of competitions off but how do they pick winners when you can phone and go on line too?

[sir.prize]

Every entry received, however made, is allocated a unique number - the computer then picks at random. Apparently.
