It’s like Groupon on steroids, for small businesses, driven by social media at its core. In addition to daily give-away's the public also have the chance to win an unprecedented $1million dream-maker prize. It’s all part of the Big American Giveaway www.bigamericangiveaway.com.
Big American Giveaway is a daily giveaway site, created by Mark Bowness, that enables businesses to reach new state-wide and national customers across the USA via the power of social media. It works much in the same way as Groupon only without forcing businesses to reduce their prices by 50-75%. Brands will buy a day in order to promote their product and offer a Giveaway prize. To be in with a chance of winning the Giveaway prize the public must increase the brands social media profile by liking them on Facebook, posting about the brands on social media sites and following the brand on Twitter etc. Remarkably, over 600 business have purchased a giveaway day with January in California and New York being completely sold out!
Furthermore, members of the public are able to upload a video stating why they want to win the ultimate $1million prize – whether the goal is to launch a business, launch a charity, build a dream house, or fund a music dream.
For the first time in history the population of U.S.A will decide which individual walks away with the $1million. The winner will not only win the million but will also gain the backing of the Nation to see their dream come true.
"I want to hear from people who have a dream that they want to fulfill, but, at every angle they get people telling them to give up on their dream,” Bowness said. “It is these dreams that will help to restore the economy of a nation and we are going to make sure that one of these dreams comes true."

Bowness has worked with a number of brands and businesses struggling to find their audience. With Big American Giveaway the audience is entering the competition to win a Giveaway because they are specifically interested in those products, becoming the brands friend for life. In exchange for the chance to win the Giveaway the user has to engage with you on your social media platforms and in this way they build a database so that their brand can further engage with a new audience.
Big American Giveaway is a unique social media marketing platform and, as of right now, brands can select and purchase their giveaway days for launch on January 1, 2012. Days are purchased starting at $1 and increasing by $1 per day.

It seemed like a great way to reach online consumers in specific markets, at a reasonable price. We are fairly new to online retailing and want to try different approaches to see what works the best. This sounds like a great idea that will generate a lot of buzz, so it seems like an excellent price for the potential exposure we'll receive.
The day I picked holds several special meanings; My grandmother's birthday, my dad's birthday, and the number 9 is a lucky Chinese number known as the Red Dragon. It HAS to be good luck because that day was also $9.00. How could I resist?
