The email that did get me to start using Flightfox was another one sent to you a few days later after you had signed up, looked around, but didn't end-up launching any contest.

In that email Flightfox said they noticed that I didn't launch any contest and gave me a coupon that covered 50% of any contest just to try it out.

So that's how I started using their service.

On the other hand I also learned there are other things to take into consideration when launching a contest. The most important one, knowing you have to buy the ticket as soon as possible. My contest was a tricky one (involving a toddler, timing international connections in the US, etc) so after 3 days there was only one decent result, and it was gone by the time I wanted to purchase it :(

So I guess that was the reason why the longest duration of the contests is of just 3 days. Which reminds me, I still need to go back there and do it all again.

They are experimenting with a number of different campaigns and are of course continually A/B testing the one I mention in the post but this is a nice snapshot for a certain point in time!

Hopefully we can cover more of their tests in the future as it's great stuff.

I'll make sure they see this comment too, in case they have any feedback.
