Hello SW Region Leaders and Associates,
Back-to-school season is here! 🎒📚 As families gear up for a new school year, it’s the perfect time to reconnect with your VIPs, database, and local community in a fun and creative way.
Just like we did with the Easter Bunny Coloring Contest 🐰, we’re bringing you another simple, high-impact idea: a Back-to-School Coloring Contest! This is a fantastic opportunity to spread joy, build relationships, and make your brand stand out—especially with local families.
This time, it’s all about coloring a school bag! 🎒
How to Host Your Own Back-to-School Coloring Contest
Step 1: Choose a Fun, School-Themed Coloring Page
We’ve included a sample “school bag” coloring sheet (see below) to get you started. Feel free to add your own logo, contest details, or personal branding! Keep it simple and fun so kids of all ages can join in.
Step 2: Offer Exciting Prizes
Make it exciting for families with easy-to-give (and local!) prizes:
🏆 Grand Prize: $50 gift card to a school supply store or fun kids’ bookstore
🥈 2nd Place: $25 gift card to a local ice cream shop 🍦
🥉 3rd Place: $10 gift card for a back-to-school treat 🍩
🎁 Bonus: Give every participant a small prize to show appreciation!
Step 3: Set Up Easy Submission Guidelines
Make it easy for families to send in their masterpieces:
📬 Drop off at your office
📸 Email a photo
📆 Set a clear deadline—e.g., August 10th!
Step 4: Spread the Word!
Promote your contest on your:
Social media pages 📱
Community Facebook groups 👨👩👧👦
Email list and local school newsletters 📰
You can even partner with a local business for prize donations or cross-promotion!
Sample Contest Rules:
Age Range: 2–13 years old
Submission Deadline: August 10th (or choose your own!)
Winners Announced: Share winners on social media to boost engagement
Participation Prizes: Optional—but highly recommended to make every kid feel like a winner!
Why You Should Host a Coloring Contest:
🎨 Build Local Relationships – Strengthen ties with your sphere and local families
📣 Stand Out – Keep your brand top of mind in a fun and positive way
👨👩👧👦 Create Connection – Foster goodwill in your market and database
How to Get Started:
