Our Core Business
At the Alliance Sweepstakes, we take attention to detail seriously. The industry is full of "horror stories"…about things that have gone wrong with Sweepstakes promotions, lawsuits, fines, over-redemption of prizes, etc.
Our principals have over 20 years of experience, and this is one business in which experience counts!
And, because of this broad base of experience, we can prevent problems from happening before they happen. We know where the land mines lie.
It’s also part of our job, and responsibility to our clients, to stay abreast of changes in the area of promotion law and Sweepstakes legislation…on both a national and state-by-state basis.
That’s why we work with the best promotion law attorneys in the business, attend industry-sponsored promotion law conferences, and are actively involved in trade organizations such as the PMA (Promotion Marketing Association), and are panel members of their Promotion Law, and Sweepstakes Planning Committee.
The following are some of the specific services we offer as part of our Sweepstakes administration package:
