Consumer Reviews Site Epinions.com Announces Holiday 'Write-Off'

Daily cash prizes of up to $2,500 given to best new reviews this holiday season.

(PRWeb) December 15, 2006 -- When it comes to holiday shopping, the opinions of fellow shoppers can help when deciding what to buy. A recent survey by Shopping.com of over 1,800 consumers showed that forty three percent of respondents' purchasing decisions are "very often" influenced by peer recommendations. That's why Epinions.com, the premier consumer reviews platform on the Web is offering valuable advice to shoppers, giving away cash prizes to individual consumer reviewers during its holiday "Write-Off" sweepstakes.

Each weekday through December 29, Epinions.com will select new winners for a total of 78 winners of either $100, $500, $1,000 or $2,500. Submitted reviews must be the first review written on Epinions.com for a particular item within the Epinions.com database and must receive an overall rating from the Epinions.com community of "somewhat helpful," "helpful," or "very helpful."

By encouraging new reviews on the site on the hottest and most popular products this holiday season, Epinions.com brings online shoppers a wealth of peer information to their fingertips when looking for gifts for everyone on their list. Whether people choose to contribute reviews on electronics, video games, hot toys, clothing, or even home and garden items, these shared opinions can help others shop confidently and make informed buying decisions based on pros and cons available to them from other shoppers.
