How it works
Businesses set up localsecrets e-offers and e-prizes for exclusive use by not-for-profit/voluntary groups or those working on their behalf. They can also invite groups to join who are not currently listed.
How can groups use Prize Swap? Prizes and offers from local restaurants, shops or services can be used to support a membership drive or supercharge fund raising. They can motivate volunteers or reward star performers. They can encourage donations, sell more raffle tickets and thank donors. How they are used is up to the group's imagination.
What do groups need to do? They need only select up to 10 businesses from the localsecrets list (or if there are business that they would like to approach who are not listed, they can invite them to join). To apply, the groups complete a simple form, stating:
- how they plan to use the offers and prizes to promote not-for-profit aims
- how, by doing so, they will be distributing the business's incentives to a highly-targeted and motivated audience of supporters, members or staff
- how by awarding the prize publicly they will showcase the business's good name, products and services.
- what means of distribution will be used, such as emailings, publicity, activities or events
- what people have to do to win prizes and get offers (ie, make a donation, sign up, volunteer etc
On submission, the online application (one for mulitple businesses) automatically goes out, and each business gets a chance to accept or decline. If accepted, the group can get started straight away. To send out offers, a group need only email or post them online. To award prizes, the winner’s name and email is entered on localsecrets. They are issued by email automatically.
