A small prize wheel and a quiet hesitation

I had a small box of rewards to give away, nothing extravagant. It felt like a genuine offering, not a big production. I just wanted to connect with people who might actually be interested.

That moment before asking

I set up the wheel with the few things we could afford. It was a simple list, honest and clear. I didn't want to pretend it was more than it was.Then came the part about the email. I paused for a second, my cursor hovering over the form field. It felt like a big ask for such a small campaign.

Choosing transparency

I decided to just say it plainly. I wrote that we only had a few items, and the wheel was how we'd share them. No flash, no false excitement.It was a relief to be upfront. I think people can sense when you're trying too hard. This felt more like a quiet conversation than a broadcast.

The items on the table

They were just things from our shelf, really. A branded notebook, a discount code for next time, a free consultation call. Useful, but not life-changing.

What happened after

A few people spun. Someone won the notebook. It was a small exchange, but it felt right. No one seemed disappointed, which was the main thing.
