      Hi
      Council is looking to run a promotion. Go into the draw to win an ipad if you sign up for email of notices instead of post and another one, signing up for direct debit.

      Just wondering if anyone has ran a promotion similar and may be willing to share their terms and conditions, any horror stories or what to watch out for, or what worked well.
      Thanks 🙂

        Hey Emma …

        My memory a bit sketchy as it was a long time ago and we had a car up for grabs in enticing ratepayers to pay their rates in full (before the GFC). Sorry not so much about T’s & C’s but more a reflection of some of the unique elements below:

        I recall having to have a permit for the competition (or registration or whatever it is called) from Dept of Gaming and Racing.

        I also recall having to have our ‘process’ externally validated way ahead of the draw, i.e. our process and procedure of how we would pull reports from our system to identify ratepayers who met our T’s & C’s was audited/examined to prove that that our process was sound (and not open to fraud).

        And was there something about staff not being able to enter the draw? Yes, Council staff may have been excluded.

        Then on the evening of the draw that same scrutineer was present to oversee the draw (the head of our external auditors at that time I think).

        Technology has changed since my experience. And you’re talking about an iPad (and not a car), which makes me wonder if the prize scale would influence the process.

        Tit bits from my memory 🙂 good luck with it Emma.

          Hello Emma
          I think Paula at Grafton (Clarence) could provide info on an Ipad draw from a few years ago.
          Tweed currently have a cash prize for properties paid in full by 31/08/2020 and a cash prize for signing up for electronic notices. Donna Boresch 07) 5586 6103 or dboresch@tweed.nsw.gov.au would be a good contact if you need more info on how this was organised.

          Kind Regards
          Lee
