Hosting a hair extension competition

[Yasminbrooke]

I’m wanting to host a competition to boost awareness of my new hair extension business page and the winner will receive a free hair extension fitting.

The only thing is I’m a little confused, do I offer the whole thing free so the hair and the fitting, or does the winner pay just the price of the hair and I fit it for free?

I’m worried that if I say the winner just pays the price of the hair that people won’t want to enter because they still have to pay a price?

What do I do!

Sounds a good plan but make sure you stay within the law when running a competition. You don’t want to get sued before you get started.

What will she get sued for? Just out of interest? x

Off the top of my head...
Breach of the Gambling Act 2005 is a criminal offence and the Gambling Commission can choose to prosecute an individual.
An individual client could potentially sue for ‘unnecessary disappointment’.

There’s probably other areas for potential fiscal restitution in this increasingly litigious society.
