Check your till receipt as it could be your ticket to winning up to £1,000. Lots of stores have feedback prize draws, so you could win up to £1,000 a month in cash, gift cards or vouchers.
Tesco, M&S, Sainsbury’s, Aldi and Next are among the stores that will pop you in a free prize draw if you spend a few minutes on their online survey telling them what you think of your shopping experience.
In most cases, details of feedback incentives are printed on till receipts or you may get contacted by email after you complete an online order.
Of course, there’s no guarantee you’ll win, but it can be worth a punt as it only takes a few minutes of your time.
Dishing out prizes of up to £1,000 a time is a small price to pay for honest customer feedback according to retail analyst Clare Bailey.
“Retailers get coal face feedback without having to pay research companies and as an incentive for honest feedback they offer prize draws,” said Bailey.
“Customer feedback is incredibly important to help retailers benchmark their performance and understand where improvements might be needed, whether that’s in-store, online or across the wider shopper experience,” commented Peter Aitken, head of Customer Strategy and Insights at Kantar.
“We know incentives like prize draws work well and one of our clients receives up to 3,000 customer responses per week.
“The feedback matches up with other metrics like Trustpilot, so the results aren’t skewed by giving people a reward”.
How does prize draw feedback work?
Each store may have a different process for giving your feedback and getting yourself included in the prize draw. In most cases, you’ll need to have shopped in-store as you’ll need to put in details from your till receipt.
Supermarkets tend to be most generous with Tesco and Asda offering £1,000, while some stores offer just one prize and others like Aldi offer multiple prizes each month.
