I can understand rewarding OB customers. But, wouldn't you think a marketing concept by a cue maker would want to reach out to new customers. I've looked at OBs at various shows, but never played with one. As a newbie to an OB break cue I just won, and then giving a glowing review if I thought it deserved it, that could have more impact on future sales to a broader market. Just my opinion.

They did that last month. Allowed anyone the opportunity to win. They are trying out some new marketing methods and I am sure you will once again have the chance to win one of their cues.
Thanks for saying you like it. I've been toying with the idea of a new break cue. Tell us more.
Does it have a BCA legal leather tip?
Have to admit, thats the same thing I thought when I heard of this months contest. Last month it was for "New Facebook" likes. Well, I already LIKE their page so was not eligable for that month either.
pretty sure it was stated that as long as you "liked" them at some point you were eligible.
i don't have a problem with this giveaway as it "rewards" somebody for already having purchased something. can't win the lotto if you don't buy a ticket.
TeeA,
Thanks for your feedback. As Jerry mentioned, we are trying out different formats for the contest every month and this month happens to be a testimonial contest. It is easy for people that play with our products already to give us a testimonial but like you said, if you have never tried our products then how can you give a testimonial. Well, we are hoping that more people will try our products over the next couple of weeks that might not have done so other wise (this has already happened) and then if they like the product, they can submit a testimonial to us.
Last month was 'like us on facebook', the month before was sign up on our website for a free account, the month before that was sign up to watch a TAR stream (which we were a sponsor of) I want to try and structure the contest differently each month and I am open to any suggestions that you or anyone else may have for future contests. We want it to be fun and easy to enter but at the same time, we are doing these contests every month to try and gain more exposure for our brand.
I am curious though, you said that you looked at OB at various shows but never played with one, I am curious as to why you choose not to try the product? When we attend shows, our primary goal is to have people try the product before anything else, if we sell a few shafts or cues too then thats just a bonus but the more people that try the product, the more people will eventually buy it (at some point) At least thats the plan!
Looking forward to some unique contest suggestions and I hope that you have a chance to try our products in the near future.
