How do you feel about voting promotions?

for those interested in the promotion more than my question, more info here you have to show up in a specific time frame

I think it’s awesome. I love it when corporations show initiative to get out the vote — superficial or otherwise.

Yeah, I’m really excited about it. It’s smart on their part to offer it. I’m going to a Ben & Jerry’s scoop store nearby that I’ve never been to. I’ll be really happy when I’m there, too. They get free advertising, as you and I have done here on Fluther.

I’d be surprised if anyone actually goes out to vote JUST to get a free scoop. But by linking voting with ice cream, they are rewarding us for doing “the right thing.” I like.

I think anything that encourages people to exercise their right to vote is a good thing.

I am going to vote because it is important to me. If they want to reward me with a treat YAY!

Just you wait for Fluther…

I don’t think it’ll actually convince anyone to vote, but it is a smart promotion on their part, and a fun treat for the consumer. Win/win.
