How to Store Proof of Purchase Receipts for Competitions and Sweepstakes.

So you’ve jumped through all the hoops and qualified for entry to the latest competition or sweepstake you’re trying to enter. But what next? You have purchased the product, brought home the receipt and entered the draw. Now, you tuck the receipt away safely……

Amazingly that winning call comes through months later and you go to grab the receipt…………

AND IT’S BLANK!!

Nope, it’s not a joke. Many receipt printers are printed using heat sensitive paper. The huge downfall of this for compers and sweepers is that sometimes, by the time the draw takes place, your proof of purchase has been destroyed!!!

So how do you prevent this from happening?

Well, there are plenty of ideas for receipt storage, and I’ll do another post on that later, but the best recommendation I have is to either scan or photocopy every receipt in case you need it later.

If you are photocopying and printing them straight out, then store them safely with the original. If you are scanning them  onto the computer, be sure to organise some sort of file system on your computer that allows you to track your receipts via date, store or preferably both of these options.

There is of course the issue that some competitions and sweepstakes request to see the original receipt, but if this is the case, although there is a slight chance you would still lose your prize, being able to send them a photocopy and a substantially faded original should see you in a good position to be validated as a prize winner.
