What’s the Golden Ticket Promotion?

Remember how excited Charlie was to find the golden ticket in his Willy Wonka chocolate bar? That’s how excited conference attendees get when we run our Golden Ticket promotions.

When we distribute our special supplement  issue at MJ BizCon, a few copies will have golden tickets in them. This gives attendees a much higher chance of winning a prize pack of awesome gadgets we’re giving away. It also boosts the distribution of our magazine (and our partners advertising).

For those not receiving a golden ticket, we will have a full-page advertisement in the supplemental issue promoting each sponsor and their booth number. Readers will have to visit the sponsors booths to earn a stamp for entry into the sweepstakes. Once all stamps have been collected then can redeem their entry.
