    Make me a winner and I’ll reciprocate and help you as well

  2. Thanks for your comment Doug, but unfortunately that’s not how the contest works! LOL Winners will be selected at random, and your chance of winning depends on the number of entries.

    All the best and good luck,

  10. Hey Charles!

    Thanks so much for your comment. Did you get a chance to read through the blog above with all the contest details? The contest doesn’t kick off until Wednesday March 13th! My sincere apologies for the confusion. As long as you’re a member of our email list, you’ll receive daily entry emails during the contest. Simply click the entry links in each email to enter the contest every day, and each daily entry gets you a chance to win our grand prize, Free BigYellowBags for a decade!

    Hope this clears things up and good luck,

    What if you gave everyone a discount instead of having all your existing customers pay for a few random people to get this very valuable prize – which they might not even need? How much of what I am paying for my Yellow Bag is going to someone else instead of just paying for the product? I am happy to pay for the product but I don’t agree to subsidizing a lottery.

  12. Hey there NAF!

    Thanks so much for your comment. While I appreciate your concerns regarding the contest, I assure you that the costs of these sweepstakes are not passed down to our customers. We hope that the customers entering the contest do need the soil, and if the past winners are any indication, the prizes are always well received! Our Countdown to Spring Sweepstakes has become an exciting event for many of our customers, and it truly gets us all looking forward to Spring time when our gardens are thriving. Our local suppliers happily provide free BigYellowBags to contest winners, and don’t consider that cost a burden, but instead see it as a boon to our communities! Getting to give away BigYellowBags to lucky, eager customers brings us joy, and so we don’t mind giving away some free BigYellowBags to kick off the season on a high note.

    Hopefully this provides some added context NAF. We would never hold fun contests like this if the costs were then incurred to our customers. We continue to provide early season discounts as we always have, and even provide extra discounts to returning customers.

    Let me know if you have any further concerns NAF, and thanks again for taking the time to reach out!

    All the best and happy gardening,

    When I click on the link to enter I’m told ”this promotion is not available in your area”. Although I reside in Calgary, it is likely because I am traveling and your system doesn’t like my ip.
    It is excluding my entry.

    Hello
    I am an annual customer and have tried to enter the contest. I have not been able to do so. I keep getting this message: “Sorry, you’re creating too many entries; try again later.”
    When I try later, I get the same message.
    Can you fix this for me?
    Thank you.
