Wonderful Wedding Giveaway
Newsday (Suffolk, NY) hosts this wedding contest (quickly becoming very popular on the UPICKEM platform) that was a huge hit with readers.
– Total Revenue: $31,000
– Prize Value: $26,000 wedding package, including venue, entertainment, photographer, floral design, videographer
– Winner was chosen by title sponsor because of their touching story (Their story wasn’t about deserving it more than anyone else, but about how they got through hardships together and they are best friends and look forward to a long life together or friendship and love.)
“The success of this contest was great considering we were catering to an extremely niche audience. This is not only a contest for engaged couples to win a wedding, but the wedding had to be in March of 2011 which is a challenge in itself to plan everything that quickly!”
– Joe Marmer, Interactive Product Manager
