Re: [Contest] 12 Days of Giveaways Winners File said by camelot:These contests are a terrible idea. Actually, the contest prizes are awesome. The fact they choose to use Facebook is crap.
Always rife with fake profiles. What's worse, you don't even need to be a TSI customer. What's the point, then TSI? Why not draw people in to win the prizes?

said by chrisl83:As for the Quebec thing, blame Quebec not Teksavvy. Quebec law requires contests to follow some rules, which is perfectly understandable. You can read them here: »www2.publicationsduquebec.gouv.q···R6_A.htm
They're not very difficult to follow, so maybe blaming TSI is right afterall. |

I hope the Likes they got were worth annoying the crap out of some actual Teksavvy customers, lol.
It seems silly that a fairly small company like Teksavvy tries to act like a corporation that would use Facebook for viral marketing. |

...Calling to cancel...
Why are you cancelling the service?
...Prizes given to non-customers....I basically paid for a portion of those prizes, so I just gave money away to someone who will never be a TSI customer just because they like Facebook and all of the ill wills that come from it.
I am seriously contemplating this as my reason for cancelling, enough is enough. You know, go to bat and have great service, I appreciate that, but then to give money away to people with absolutely zero ROI?...Bad move TSI, bad move.
I'd like to see how they fill that out in their cancellation tracker....and its not like I don't have 2 accounts, they know this...I had a choice, and when I signed up with my second account, I chose TSI, I could have chosen eBox, or Acanac or even went with Bell themselves...but I chose to stick with TSI...and this in turn is how they repay me....
I guess DSLR doesn't get as much press as say Facebook...maybe I should update my status with this and see what happens...nothing, because nobody actually looks at facebook, just pie in the sky Ivory Tower types who say "woooooo, 50,000 likes, we rock!...we're going to have 50k subscribers come tommorrow!".... Facebook like does not = RGU....just saying...regardless of whatever your marketing guru's have decided....from the optics, if you like numbers, just manipulate them however you want....but me, I'm truly this close to voting with my wallet. Take my $122/month and go elsewhere...
Also TSI peeps, I didn't want to bring it up because it was the holidays, but this post and all of this reminded me, and since I'm working today, as far as I'm concerned the holidays are over, but I posted in the Direct forum about a question....placed my telephone number that I wanted the request done on, provided that username and password that I use in the posting and then was informed....you have 2 addresses, which one do you want info on? It should be obvious that I want the information on the phone number I provided in the request....given I gave the correct username and password and PHONE NUMBER for that address....and not the other address.
Time to see what my options are, downtime be damned....I might make a call and see if Eastlink is as incompetent....if they are, then I have no hope... |

Day 12 WINNER FINALIST!
Said by: Teksavvy Solutions Inc.
And our final winner for the 12 days of Giveaways! A big congratulations to our winner of the 55” Sony Bravia, Mike Gismondi. We’ll be in touch via email.
. . . And thats all she wrote.
/me goes to cry in a cup of Timmy's double-double. 
Anyhoo... Prizes were GREAT and I had fun anticipating a possible win even though the chances were really slim, seeing as it was all on facebook and encapsulated a much larger audience than just us Teksavvy subscribers.
I'm hopeful in March if TSI does the Pot of Gold sweepstakes again that they'll figure out a way to make it more inclusive to TekSavvy Customers instead of the larger outside world.
It'd also be kick ass if this time the 'grand prize' was a complete desk+luxury chair+pc/laptop+pair of monitors+42"HDTV prize package. A real complete HTPC would be GREAT!
At the very least I want another chance at a HDTV any size really 32" and up. 
Bottom line. Attention to those at the TekSavvy Marketing Dept. You might be heeding posts in this thread vs posts in last years contest(s) and note the huge differences between the two for consideration in your next contest-sweepstakes project. Last years response on DSLr were somewhat more positive and enthusiastic versus this years posts. Learn something from it.
Cheers.

That's because facebook won't get the "bad PR" that DSLR will and is showing on TSI as of late. All they need is the "thumbs up/Like" to show how fantastic they are :/
A lot of stupid decisions as of late and having an open draw to non customers who could care less about cancelling Rogers and moving over just won free stuff just to "act" like the "like" Teksavvy.
It's very, very, very odd.
Dare i say, Teksavvy is slowly slipping away and i feel like i'm seeing familiar traits from you know who. It doesn't become a lottery if you do it with existing customers who have been a customer at least x amount of days, this way "no purchase necessary"
Not to mention last year and the year before was customer appreciation stuff. Just think, that TV no matter if it was from a sponsor still came from many of your $1-$2 increases in one way shape or form.
Money helped TSI grow, Growth got TSI a sponsor if that's truly how they did the give away.
Any who, leaves a bad taste in the mouth and at least the new year a fresh perspective is given on a once glorious ISP |

Mike Gismondi - Favorites: Every contest giving company that exists (including Rogers) - 770 bullshit companies that he "likes"
Why would Mike Gismondi love so many womens clothing stores? Is he cross dressing in Malaysia by way of Tourism Malaysia Canada, or is it just the big "Giveaways every month" button that has him liking them so much? Maybe he really does like looking pretty by getting things from LittleGlamour by Elizabeth Fowler from their giveaways at Mommy Gearest.
It's extremely obvious that this giveaway was posted to RFD (RedFlagDeals) and sites just like it.
This is why you don't do giveaways on the 'net without forcing the customer to buy before they win. Pepsi and Coke don't just give away money, they make you buy some drinks so you can enter your codes and then maybe you'll win something. Want to know why companies still use snail mail when they want to do some real advertising? They do it because it actually gets customers, not random idiots who will enter any contest, even if they aren't "allowed" to enter it because they aren't in the country listed in the prize rules.
Did your full retard marketing team even bother to check if the entries were allowed to receive the prizes before picking them? It's a pretty common sense kind of thing that you open the ballot box and remove the "illegal" entries before drawing.
