Opinions?

Ive been thinking about having a cutest baby contest.  I want to get my name out there and think i could do a lot of advertising for this, etc. and get a lot of people checking out my website..

 Here is what i was thinking- 

Have maybe 2-3 age groups, maybe newborn-2, and then 3-5? I could send out postcards, put up fliers, etcs.

$25.00 to enter which would include the entrance fee and 1 posed picture either inside or out or $50.00 to enter and a full photo session.  I would post pictures on my website according to the age groups and people can have their friends/family vote for a period of time and then the winner will win something.. haha maybe some free photosessions or something?

opinions? ideas on the prizes? how long to have the contest for?

 My website REALLY needs done but its close.  www.blinkofaneyephoto.info , if you want to take a look!

Re: Opinions?

  • I think it sounds like a lot of work on your part, but it also sounds like great exposure.  If you think you have the time/energy go for it!  Maybe put a cap on the number of entries if you're worried about to getting too overwhelming.  And I think a free full session is a great prize!

  • Is it typical to pay to enter a cutest baby contest? Other than that, paying to enter makes me think that a potential customer would say no.

  • around here i dont feel that its really weird to have people pay plus they are getting a photo for it.  Our local paper is actually running a cutest baby contest now and its 22$ and you dont get anything for it..

  • I think that's a good idea, and would be great exposure for you.  If you think you'll have a lot of entries, I would do a separate category for newborns - maybe newborn-12mos, 1-2, and 3-5.
  • It's a great idea for more exposure!  Since your local paper is already advertising a similar contest that includes an entrance fee, I think you will be more than fine.  I've never even looked at those contests besides voting for people's kids so I had no idea that there were entrance fees involved.

  • I think its a great idea! I started something similar on monday (without the fee) on fb and for the kids so far I have 5.  And I'm also doing a couples one for valentines and I've had 3 coulples ask...we'll see how that one goes...
