How do I know prizolova in the crowd?

Freebie! Get! Get! Professional prizolovy hunting.


Personal experience 

Being a fairly active user, I always willingly participated in many rallies. Periodically collect caps and labels. The result of all this activity has led to numerous collectible glasses, towels, pens. Of particular pride is ruler of things from the Coca-Cola: the freezing glass, bag, radio and much more. The most interesting is that after participating in the action imbued with a hatred for the product and being excluded from his / her diet. This story happened to me when I participated in the action of "Sprite": it was necessary to collect stamps at 10 liters - the prize was a music CD. It has been nearly four years, sometimes in my tape recorder spinning this disc, but the "Sprite" still can not drink! And not so long ago because of frustration on their own, I should say, inadvertently, I stopped to smoke a certain brand of cigarettes. In December last year, the tobacco brand carries out the action: it was necessary to collect from the five packs of flyers and register them with the codes on the site. He was promised a guaranteed prize - a neckerchief. The problem was that not in every shop sold cigarettes with the action, and to collect flyers took a long time. And when I was filled with happiness - were holding all five of them - I rushed to the Internet to register and receive a welcome gift. But found that late for two days. My hands went down and since then has not been raised not so much even to smoke these cigarettes, and to generally participate in promotions. 


Persistent consumers 

But it turns out, there are people who fail do not break, and, conversely, are pushing. They participate in promotions from the fanaticism, receiving from this unspeakable pleasure. The people they got the name of their subculture - Club prizolovov. Intrigued by this subclass of consumers, we learned that they have their graduation and are divided into novice and seasoned pros. So, ladies and gentlemen, please get acquainted. New users start their activities with prizolovskuyu primer, sometimes controlling the flow of their money and not being able to enjoy the support of the club. Seasoned prizolovy have many trophies, but to stop there is not collected. Reklamuoti them in conversation quite difficult. They do not share technologies prizolovstva. Profi track all actions that are only held in the country. And it does not matter that becomes a cherished prize - the process and important victory. But if on the horizon, an interesting contest and expensive prize, then their energy is growing exponentially. This is not just a collection of prizes, this is reality - a game in which there are winners and losers. 

Where can I find? 

Prizolovy people are sociable and very friendly, as it was ready to share information among themselves. This focus on a few sites on the Internet. One of these Russian sites has, at last count, about 1,550 registered users. We can say that these are one and a half thousand people from across the country, which constitute the backbone of many players' shares. 

Helping each other, they give their 'Net-vote in support of colleagues. They grandiose exchanges labels and caps. Entering the forum changed, you can marvel at: adults from across the country are changing candy wrappers and beer bottles. When you look at it and realize that you once at the feast of life, you see that you live next to people who invented a new game - catch the prizes. And it is for them not joking, do not collect candy wrappers in the sandbox - the thirst for freebies. 

Audience their sites, in their own words, anointed one of the world. Namely, according to one of participating in the forum, "I would say," smudge "that obtained on a freebie (well, or the method of fishing prizes at wit)." 

The most interesting discussions are conducted in a closed club prizolovov. "Membership in the closed club prizolovov is a kind of promotion in this forum. Only registered users of the forum with a status of "honorary prizolov" can get into it. To get to the club prizolovov, you must meet one of the following conditions: post on the forum 200 posts or more, or have the reputation of the forum on the 450 and be a registered user within 60 days (two conditions must be fulfilled together). Admission to the club with time may vary. You may be excluded from the club prizolovov automatically if your reputation drops below 50, or you have less than 20 messages, or you registered on the forum at least 50 days "- so read the rules. 

Interestingly, because if one day you wake up with the idea that you are now a great prizolov, this does not mean anything: you will need to prove it, and that you are not mishandled Cossack, but a real fanatic. 

How do I know prizolova in the crowd? 

After "hangouts" on prizolovskih sites, communicate with them, albeit briefly, once formed a portrait of the standard prizolova. Who is he? This is, firstly, in the vast majority of women. At that stage fanatical addicts of all quite different. There are beginner prizolova. He (she!) Is not particularly active in forums and comment on their work thus: "And I really like, but I did not take part in competitions where you want to buy what you do not buy it. For example, we rarely drink beer, and if they drink, then expensive, so I'm in beer competitions do not participate. Also, we do not smoke, too, passed, only if they have no alternative to buying a pack of cigarettes, such as in "Marlboro" or "Kamel". So it is not dependence, but simply great interest!! And a lot of positive emotions! ". Those that have built up in his prizolovstve, but still not an opera sometimes try to throw their prizolovstvo and return to the lives of ordinary consumers. But it was not there ... This is a vivid example: "I forswear after the next failure and spent force - all the more in contests or foot! - But again returned to his sheep: for me it is the next stage of life. With competition I honed her literary style, to understand the psychology. This is a difficult dilemma - to play or not play ... Doubts arise, but the new competition - a new wave of ... ".
