Is the grass really greener at that other promotional marketing company? From a glance at some of other sweeps and contest vendors it might seem that way. Some other companies may charge less. Or even offer “free” promotional services. And they make lots of great promises, such as a guarantee your promotion will go viral or that you get thousands of entries.

Sound too good to be true? Well, you know what they say…. It probably is.

Marden-Kane Digital Promotions has had clients that tried out other promotional marketing companies. But then they came back.

Here’s why:

No hidden fees. When we send you an estimate, we send you the full disclosure of what it costs. Many times clients have been wooed away by lower prices – until they get going on a project and extra costs mount up for change orders and rush fees. We don’t do that. We tell you what it will cost, and build rush fees into the estimate if necessary so you won’t have surprises.

Secure data collection and privacy practices. We collect data by the terms of our clients’ privacy policies and data collection requirements. Marden-Kane complies with data collection laws both domestically and internationally. We are also Safe Harbor certified. Many sweepstakes applications, and sweepstakes as an add-on software companies, use shoddy data collection practices and even resell data collected on behalf of their clients. Check the fine print about how your data will be collected, transferred and stored by your vendor to ensure it complies with your policies, or you may find yourself in hot water with your boss, and with consumers.

Experience. We have been around for 57 years and have run thousands of contests, sweepstakes and instant win games. The average MK employee has been here 13 years! We have given away more cars than would fit the long-term parking lot at JFK airport and have printed more scratch-off game tickets than the population on North America. If you can dream it, our experienced team can make it happen.

We are turnkey. We can take your objectives and take your promotion from concept through execution. We offer technical, legal, security, creative, admin and fulfillment services — and your account executive will follow you through the whole process, not disappear as soon as the estimate is signed.
