Marketing experiment for business sector - 150 SBD Contest -- Winners announced.

in #steemit6 years ago (edited)

We all want Steemit to stick around for the long haul. One of the ways I surmise this will happen is that the business sector will come to know the immense value that Steemit has when it comes to customer relations and communication. This contest was an an experiment towards that concept.

Winner's slot #5 is ineligible to claim the prize, to this slot will be awarded randomly via the formula's posted in the original contest.

Random slots were generated based on the number of Steemit accounts and the ID of the Last account that was created before the contest was closed are:

    Resteemers  ID  Total Accounts          Last Comment ID     Total Comments
    87  743278  743016          31709406        31680419

Random Slot 1   goes to Resteemer 37                            
Random Slot 2   goes to Resteemer 36            

Slot 37 is not eligible, so the next lower winner's slot who has not won a prize is slot 35.

The final Results are:

Winner 5 was ineligible to claim the prize, this slot was awarded randomly -- See below.

Resteemer 43 @donlau is the grand prize winner!

87 / 2 = 43.5 (43).

  • Winner's slot #5 was ineligible to claim the prize, so this slot was awarded randomly via the formula's posted in the original contest. Slot 37 was chosen, however slot 37 was not eligible, so the next lowest slot was 36 -- @dillemma

  • The final 10 SBD was awarded via randomly generated number, which computed 36, who had already one a prize, so this slot was awarded to the next lowest slot that had not already won a prize (which was slot slot 35 -- @cyclops )

THESE RESULTS ARE NOW FINAL

These funds will now be transferred to the winners. I will update this post with an image of the outgoing transactions.

Thank you all for participating. Wish everyone could have one, but in a way we all did. I'll will be writing up a follow up article on this contest and my opinion on its future capabilities for the businesses segment.

Hope the experiment was a success though I can tell with only 87 resteems it wasn't the numbers you were looking for. Maybe tweaking around a little on the rules for winning can bring a much better response. Just my opinion. Anyway congratulations to the winner, to @carlgnash for donating back his winnings and of course to you, my friend for making this fun.

Hi Gems.

On its own it did not do well. Without a LOT of help from me going out and activity engaging the community, it would have done VERY poorly. But a lot was learned from it.

I'm going to try to get my summary out soon.

Be blessed!

Hi Craig, looking forward to the follow up with your learnings. Per our earlier conversation I am declining the 10 SBD payout for @cyclops, which is one of my alt accounts. You can do what you will with the 10 SBD I sent back. Cheers - Carl

Thank you Carl. It was yours took keep (random is random) and donate if you wanted, but thank you! I will look into how best to use it.

I may donate it to @Steemcleaners or @spaminator.

Thanks again for all the help!

I am a big supporter of @steemcleaners that sounds great to me :)

Transfer 10.000 SBD to steemcleaners

Contest winnings received back by @Carlgnash to be donated to a worthy cause. Thanks for all you do!

@steemcleaners it is then.

Check the wallet in a few seconds. I'll make an official statement later when I can get a chance.

Great experiment. Power to the people! This same approach can be used for big data generation on blockchain. The same way you are able to monetize a MKT campaign and share proceeds with the people who resteemed it it's possible to monetize big data and share proceeds with the users that shared their information. Many blockchain platforms working on this, will be huge.

You got it!

There is going to be an explosion of business on the BC.

Keep thinking!

I will! Thanks!

Congratulation for all the winner and for you who has successfully done the contest. I thought it will be more number of participants, over hundreds. But 87 is not bad either, as it's just a teasing and a starting of a big thing. Look forward for you wrap up of the findings from the experiment, particularly what should be done differently that with less effort of campaigning as you did but the result is maximum. This will be interesting input for the business sectors that might come along to copy what you did.

Thank you @recong. If I get the energy I'll try to get the wrap up done tomorrow. No promises though.

Yes, lots of learning and plenty of things to do differently if it was a bigger amount.

Wow, that was so close. I'm re-steemer #44 & I missed the grand prize by 0.5 margin.
Nevermind though, congratulations to all winners!

Next time you've got it for sure then :)

Actually, I'm looking at a writing contest. May be making an announcement soon.

Stick around!

Sure, I have always followed you. Don't think I'd miss it!

You're not exactly an idiot then, just logical :)

Hahaha, noted. 😂

Congratulation to winner and thnx for telling this information.
