Closest Race: CD Cafe vs Del Bravo Basically All. The. Way.
For those who did not hear it already – I am eternally grateful for everyone who made the conscious decision to spend even a few minutes with us this year – thank you very very much. It means the world.
I think we had 9 contests this year with 50+ prizes, low-thousands of dollars in value, and some super prominent brands in this space working with us.
I also love being able to help improve some of your listening spaces and hearing the excitement for winning something as simple as sleeves or a record weight.
I look forward to the day we can gift a brand new setup to a young kid who you can tell just loves it but maybe doesn’t quite have the means, or give that hardworking single parent a super legit speaker upgrade that makes their holiday.
That’s where I want this to go.
So stick around with us next year as we try to take things to the next level.
And one last thing – I put a 30-second survey together so you can vote on the next theme and the brands you would actually want to prizes from:
