Cool man!
So earlier today I checked my email and received a message from revolver magazine saying I was a runner up winner in a contest I decided to try out for the heck of it. The contest was pretty easy you just filled in your info and had to finish part of the lyrics to the song.
I found out about it from DW's facebook page, saying you could win Dave Chavarri's, the drummer for Ill Nino, Concept Maple kit.
Copied from the contest page:
The Grand Prize includes:*
- PDP Concept Series Maple Drums (two 18x24" bass drums; 8x10", 9x12", 12x14", and 14x16" toms;*
***and a 6.5x14" Black Nickel over Brass "Ace" snare drum)*
- DW 9000 Series Hardware (five 9700 straight/boom cymbal stands, 9300 snare stand, 9500TB 2-leg hi-hat stand,*
***9100 throne, 9141X hi-hat clamp, and two 9000 single pedals)*
Five Runners Up Will Receive A Prize Pack including:*
- An Ill Niņo sweatshirt or T-shirt*
- A pair of signature Vater drum sticks*
- A signed Ill Niņo poster or 8x10" photo*
So apparently I won the runner up prize pack, ill keep you all posted on what happens.

I hate to be the pessimist here but, you should know that this is an age old marketing ploy. You didn't win anything of value. They are going to try and sell you something. Everyone who entered won the runner up package.So apparently I won the runner up prize pack, ill keep you all posted on what happens
Now, if you don't buy anything and they send you your prize with no shipping and handling fees, you will have "won" something.
I know, I'm a buzz kill but it's less painful than having to learn it on your own.
I figured out advertising and marketing at a very young age. When I was about 8 years old I realized that "celebrities" were paid to tell me that a product was good and that, to me, took the value away from their endorsement.
I never enter anything I would have to pay for later. Just like you said they will ask me to buy something which happens when you entered the contest. They had that little box asking if you would like to order their issues of their magazine at a "reduced" price to you.
But these are things I know of already too. I think it might be safe to say that most of us here know some general knowledge about advertising and marketing as well. But thanks for the input. and you werent a buzz kill, I understand what you mean. If they want to send me some free stuff, awesome, if not life goes on
Be sure to post next week when you own a time share condo in Ruidoso
