Ive been trying to think of ways to market my services, and get my name out there.
One idea Ive had is to have a contest, where the grand prize winner would win a free portrait session, and a free 11x14 print. Runners up would win something as well, a coupon for something, with the purchase of a package. Im still working out the details.
I know some here shudder at the idea of giving away prints, but I think this would be a good way to get my name out there, and I would be able to collect contact information for future advertising.
So my main question would be: Is there anything I should be aware of? Especially legally. The main thing I am thinking of, do I need to have the drawing in a public area with witnesses, so no one thinks I chose a friend. I probably wont let any family participate, just to be safe, that or do a 2nd drawing if a family member wins.
Have anyone here tried anything like this?
