Forum prizes could be a good incentive for members to post. But, the only people who will post are those people who are already on your forum daily. It might not be a good way to get new members, but you will get a lot more new responses or discussions if you award prizes.

If it is a good enough prize, then you will have many that will want to participate. I do feel that it is a good idea to look into.

What type of prize would you be interested in seeing on a forum? In the past, I've offered free advertising on home page as a prize and that worked well. I had considered an Amazon or online retail store gift card/certificate. Do you think that would be a good prize?

I can’t think of a good prize because I’m a material girl so I would be glad if I will receive even a key or whatever small item as a reward. But, of course, the posting should be substantial like maybe 20 new threads or even 50. Or maybe it can even be a competition with several possible winners. I’m sure I’m not the only material girl here and those small gift items will surely invigorate the boards.
