Type	Advantages	Disadvantages
Car	One of the most popular prizes around	Expensive and often only limited to very big sites!
Holidays	Everyone likes the chance to get away, especially to far off places.	Can be expensive. Destination, fixed travel times, flights and family friendliness can influence entries.
Cash	Easy to send as a prize and winner's can buy what they like.	Too little and no one will be interested. Vouchers are often preferred to cash too.
Vouchers	Can be very popular and again are an easy prize to send out!	Make sure the vouchers appeal to a wide audience (e.g. Amazon) and don't quickly expire.
Flights	Rising costs should make flights more popular.	Consider travel to the airport. Not everyone is near Heathrow or Gatwick!
Electricals	Plasma TVs, Consoles and Kitchen Stuff are all popular.	Not everyone can fit a 50in Plasma TV into their home.
Gadgets	The latest mobiles, iPods and MP3 Players can be popular	Latest gadgets only! If you're giving away a mobile consider contract costs as well!
Sports Tickets	VIP and hospitality tickets can be attractive.	Consider offering travel/hotel as well - can limit your audience!
Concert Tickets	Festival tickets, especially Glastonbury, are very popular prizes.	Avoid short notice tickets as they get lost in the post.
CDs/DVDs/Books	Cheap and cheerful prizes that are popular if they're new releases	Not as popular as they once were and often overlooked if not the latest.
Experience Days	Can be a fun prize that's different to the norm.	Not everyone wants to bungee or drive a Ferrari - give people an option!
Promotional Goods	Unique prizes that can help create a buzz on your website and extra promotions!	Can be expensive and you may end up with an attic full of tshirts!
