Love this site with all the Pinterest sweeps. I am wondering is anyone winning them? I know some are random draws and some are judged but just curious. I love Pinterest almost as much as sweeps so it's a win win for me :cheers:
 
Thanks for those past urls. It was interesting to read all the views about Pinterest. It does take a lot of time but I'll try it for a while and see what happens.

lol - I got in info mode and forgot to say HI!!! :crazytongue: :sunny:

It's been a hot subject of late, and was just given it's own category. :laughing:
 
It's been a while since this thread started and I have entered a few more pinterest contests. I am now starting to get a little frustrated in that you often can't tell when a winner was selected and when you can delete your board (that was submitted for the contest)! UGH :cussing:

You're right, some of the pinterest sweeps are kind of weird about announcing winners. I have yet to delete any of my boards for sweepstakes, I have started a word document with the names of boards that I made for sweepstakes with the date that the sweepstakes ends and/or the date the winner is chosen. I figure I will go through and start deleting boards a month after the winner has been chosen. I think when I win a contest, I will just keep that board indefinetly.
 
lk107,

I agree that is probably a good plan. Absolutely. I have a little stubborn streak though. LOL If I see that they must have picked a winner by that time, I will go ahead and stop their free advertising on my Pinterest and delete their board. I am thinking they possibly don't announce winners so you keep advertising their brand.

I think you are right..every board with those products is basically free advertising..I have seen lots of the stuff I have posted for sweepstakes being repinned and liked by other users. My guess is that companies would probably be annoyed if people delete the boards immediately after the sweepstakes ends. However, if sweepers don't delete their boards, then I would end up having about a million boards..One of my friends said to me that if I'm not careful, I'll become the "cat lady" of pinterest, lol!
 
I posted this re; newsletters, but it probably applies here too:

some sweeps, buried in their rules, will state you have to stay subscribed to their newsletter or TWITTER page and/or continue to LIKE their FB page long after the sweeps ends to be eligible.

Like the sweeps ends 4/30/12, but they don't draw/confirm for weeks/months, so don't unsubscribe at the end date!

LOL....Yeah, I don't want to be that either...I get rid of them fairly quickly, but I do try to see if a winner is picked first, and do try to give them a little time. I just don't want to keep it up for weeks and months afterward! ugh!

Hello my voice of reason! LOL! Actually, I give them a little time after it is over! I do! I just won't keep the boards too long afterward. If I don't hear from them within say a month after the contest is over, chances are it is NOT me they are picking, is my opinion! LOL Now, if they specify when the winner will be announced...there is my clue!
