Comping Tips
When it comes to offering hints and tips about comping we usually go for the obvious one - "enter competitions and prize draws" - as after all if you're not in then you can't win. After that it's simply a case of you deciding how many or how few you wish to enter and what type of competitions you may prefer. Some folk like the do them all approach whilst others are more selective and target creative entries. Below are some blogs containing plenty of pearls of comping wisdom. For more you might wish to review our comping guide.
