How do I set up a giveaway contest at my art show booth to collect email addresses?

Run a free print or art giveaway using a fishbowl/bucket and/or clipboard. Create clear signage that says something like ‘Free Art Giveaway - Drop Your Business Card or Register to Win.’ Make it easy for people to enter by either dropping a business card in a bucket or writing their information on a clipboard. Use both methods if possible so people can enter even when you’re busy with other customers. Consider adding eye-catching elements like balloons or displaying the actual prize piece to attract attention. Include a note that says ‘You do not need to be present to win’ to encourage more entries.
