I thought it would be prudent to not only describe how to run a contest for free, but show you. This post will host a Rafflecopter (@Rafflecopter) giveaway!
Alokozay Tea (@AlokozayCanada) is currently hosting a year-long campaign called Celebrate the Moment. All the details can be found at Win With Tea. Alokozay Tea kindly donated the lovely prize for this contest.
The tea chest is valued at $99. Therefore, this contest is open to all of Canada as any prize under $100 does not have to be registered with the Régie des alcools, des courses et des jeux. (NOTE For our Quebec friends: You won’t find this fine tea on your store shelves just yet. It will be available in early spring, so if you want to taste it sooner, you have to win it!)
GOOD LUCK!

Yes I would – rafflecopter makes it pretty easy!
Looks like fun and I LOVE tea. Maybe the next time the contest can include other countries. =)
I would have liked to make it open worldwide, or at least North Ameria, but I had to limit the area to the prize sponsor’s region. Keep following me as I do host and post other giveaways open to other areas.
I have run a couple of giveaways through Rafflecopter and love it.
maybe in the future. Thanks for the contest.
Cool!
Rafflecopter definitely simplifies things. I suppose I’d consider a contest or a giveaway one day if I had a reason to do so.
I think if I were to run a contest I would use raflecopter ! not sure if I ever will tho
I have not thought about running my own giveaway, thus my answer is no to running my own giveaway.
Thanks for sponsoring this giveaway and for the opportunity to participate.
This would be so nice to win !!
I love rafflecopter woohoo thx 🙂
If I were to run a contest, Rafflecopter would be my first choice. I’m not fond of the Giveaway Tools widget for some reason. Rafflecopter just seems a lot easier.
I have never seen the Giveaway Tools widget before. I may have to test it just to compare. Thank you for the information.
I have nothing to run a giveaway for, so no.
Looking forward to winning this tea chest. WOULD SOMEONE TELL ME WHERE i CAN PURCHASE aLOKOZAY TEA IN mONTREAL, cANADA.
You didn’t read my whole post. I stated it will be distributed throughout all of Quebec within 2-3 months. In the meantime, you may be the lucky winner.
Rafflecopter seems easy but I have no interest in running contests
I’d love to win!
For sure, quick and easy !
I would certainly consider it 🙂
Rafflecopter seems easy but I have no interest in running contests
Well, I don’t have a blog or anything at this point, so I really have no way of running my own giveaway. So, for now, no. But, I am very interested in getting a blog going, and already am full of idea for it, and, once it is up, running, and has some followers, yes, I would definetly want to do a giveaway!
I don’t really have a need for RaffleCopter – I could run a sweepstakes/contest on my Facebook page (but probably not).
If I had a product to get out there, I think using rafflecopter for a sweepstakes would be a great idea. It’s easy to use too!
easy peasy!
I would definitely use Rafflecopter. Simplicity at its finest!
if i had a blog i’d definitely run a contest
Maybe!
Not at the moment, but who knows for the future?
I’d just like to enter.
I’m thinking of starting a review blog. I would go with Rafflecopter.
Rafflecopter contests are so easy to enter; it would be my choice for a contest.
Would love to win.
If I ran a blog YES i would use this for a contest!
A nice hot mug of tea on a cold winters night.
love to win these teas, tyvm for the being able to enter
I don’t have a blog, so no
My wife and I are “tea drinkers” so this would be a wonderful prize to win.
I love rafflecopter contest they are super easy to enter.. would def. try it.
I love rafflecopter. The ease of it is great. The big issue I have is that it DOES NOT CONFIRM entries. People can just click away without actually having performed any of the entries there. Other than that. love it.
Good point. I do have to go and confirm the entry before I award the prize.
Great prize!!
NO. Don’t blog.
Nice display case for tea.
I love tea, especially in winter!
Tea please!
I didn’t realize that the price limit before having to be registered is $99. Great info. I think I noticed some Alokozay on the shelf. They have a QR code sticker for the contest on the outside of the packaging that anyone can scan.
Oh, and while I won’t be running any contests anytime soon, I’ll be recommending rafflecopter to a couple of friends with blogs.
They could, except they have to scan it and send it back with the release form so if you take a code from the box and enter it without keeping it, you won’t be able to claim the prize. Read the full rules is my #1 tip for a reason. BTW, try the tea. It’s really good.
That was easy!
No, because I don’t blog myself.
well I don’t have a blog ,unless you count Tumblr……but yes I would host a giveaway!!!
How are you doing Carolyn? Still winning? Would love to hear from you (even IF I don’t win this lovely prize lol!) Take care….fellow contestor 🙂
Still winning. Stopped entering for 8 months (see my January 6th blog post) and after a slow ramp-up I am back to winning 5-15 prizes every month – WOOT! Many wins to you 🙂
Since its cold in Saskatoon, some good tea would be nice about now.
great!
If I were to ever run a contest I would consider this route of entry.
If I did I would use rafflecopter. I would recommend it to people with blogs.
Yes, I would consider it in the future as it seems to be quite easy.
no, not really – but i love to enter and love to win something…thx
I would definitely think about it!
I am fairly new to contesting and don’t have a blog of my own, so for right now, I’d say that I wouldn’t hold a giveaway. But who knows what will happen in the future!
sure
Tea for Two Time!!!
maybe in the future ,right now i have my hands pretty full
I really like Rafflecopter, and if i had a blog, yes for sure, i’ll use it for contests!
I love rafflecopter 🙂
never thought about doing it myself before, something for me to think about while it’s so cold outside!
I would consider using Rafflecopter…sure makes it easy!
Thanks for the contest 🙂
I don’t own a blog so I wouldn’t use it
I love this type of tea, so does my husband! it would be amazing to win this!
If I were to run a contest, I would use rafflecopter.
I love tea!
It seems to be a very easy way to run a contest.
I don’t think I would run my own contest.
Looks delicious!!
I love tea but have never tried Alokozay Tea yet!
Pick me!! Only in Canada.
Rafflecopter is great but I don’t run my own contests.
Oh boy … just arrived back from ORLANDO and have a HEAD COLD. Could sure drink a glass or two of ALOKOZAY TEA right now!
Their Camomile tea is really nice. Perfect for when you are under the weather.
I just love tea and love to try all different flavors of it. tyvm
no I don’t think so
I like using Rafflecopter to enter giveaways, but as a non-blogger I don’t have anything to give away.
I like this contest!
Haven’t tried this tea, would be great!
If I had something to giveaway I would definitely use Rafflecopter
Seems pretty easy to me
would love to win the tea chest for this time of year
Definitely, Rafflecopter is so easy.
I would run a contest. I have three websites, and this seems to be a good way to get Likes and readers.
tea time!
easy to enter-like the tea especially the orange
I would certainly use Rafflecopter to run a contest…why would anyone use anything else?
I love tea!
Not at present, in a future, maybe. Thanks.
Rafflecopter is great!!! I would love to do a giveaway using it!!!
If i ran a giveaway id deffo use rafflecopter
Rafflecopter sounds like the best for contests but out of my league. Love tea though!
Love rafflecopter,,iwould !
Tea is what I drink to relax and do my deepest thinking
I would be jealous to host a contest because I never win!
yes, I would, it’s simple and easy
I keep hearing about this tea and would love to try it! Thank you.
Yes I would rafflecopter seems to make it very easy
Yes, I like using Rafflecopter.
If I were to run one I defiantly use this. Thank you for a chance to win.
Have no giveaways to run it.
I would love to run a Rafflecopter contest!
not at this time.
I would think about it!
would love to win this, i love tea!
yup. easy, just a push of the button!
I might consider running my own contest sometime in the future
Nope.
Tea for Two and Two for tea.And no right now I have no interest in doing a giveaway
Probably some day. When my blog is cool enough.
I haven’t thought about it but would love to win
Rafflecopter is easy to enter a contest, however, I doubt I would run one
I am an avid tea drinker I would love to win
I wouldn’t run a contest myself, but love entering them 🙂
My wife and I are big tea drinkers so it would be sweet to win this chest of tea ! Thanks Contest Queen !
I definitely would. I think rafflecopter is the easiest way to host a contest. Takes the guess work out of how to get people to enter.
tea is the only way to go .
I would rather enter contests than run them.
no I won’t be running my own contest that i know of
No, I would not but I find the rafflecopter quick and easy as long as it is not a large group giveaway…if so…. they take sooo long to load.
No, I’m having enough trouble finding time to enter them. Thanks for the idea, though.
Yes I would, I love rafflecopter
I might consider it.
Maybe in the future, but not now.
I might suggest it to my boss – small business owner
Great way for contest,if I had a contest, I would do it this way.
This site was pretty simple and straight forward compared to other sites I have used, thanks ! Also I love tea.
Maybe, if I did it would be with Rafflecopter
Rafflecopter is great. Wish all bloggers running contests used them.
My answer is no to running my own giveaway I only enter them
It seems easy first I need to learn how to blog
Maybe!
Yep, Rafflecopter is great!
Rafflecopter is awesome and if I was running a contest I would use it for sure!
Yes I have entered and yes I would run one on rafflecopter
It’s possible…it looks pretty easy!
If I were to run an online contest for our business I would probably use Rafflecopter.
I have entered via RAfflecopter before, but don’t have a business to run a contest myself.
Yes definantly! I love the Rafflecopter giveaways! thanks so much for this chance!
Prefer entering contests to having my own.
im thinking about a giveaway for the store I work at now,,,
Maybe in the future. Thanks for the contest!
Tea me, please!
If I had a blog,I would definately run my own giveaways!!
I would run my own contest if I had someplace to run it.
I don’t have a blog
Love to win tea!
My blog isn’t up and running yet, but when it is, I will definitely use Rafflecopter! It seems like the easiest way to run a contest (from what I’ve seen).
I would run my own, but I don’t have a blog
I don’t have a blog but if I did, Rafflecopter seems interesting. I only enter contests.
Maybe if I was able to have a great prize.
If I had a blog I would love having contests! I love Rafflecoppter too, easy to use 🙂
definitely a great way to host a giveaway, easy to use.
I love tea and this would be a wonderful prize…and I could share it with all my friends!
Don’t have any reason to… if I did I would use it!
Hey Caroline, remember me from Calgary. I had never thought of hosting a raffle but one day I may have a prize I want to raffle off.
Maybe one day I will. At present no reason to.
don’t know how to blog-(wouldn’t mind learning) and nothing to raffle-tho if i did would probably try this method.
love tea! hope to win..
sweet prize
Sure!
Rafflecopter is great, I would host giveaways with it.
If running a contest would be interested in using raffleccpter. The tea prize for this contest is great. Would love to win this:)
LOVE rafflecopter. If I ever held any of my own giveaways, I would totally use rafflecopter.
great way to host a giveaway and easy to use. Would love to win this prize 🙂 Good luck everyone!!
