Turkey Trot!

From November 1 to December 15, run a promotion called the "Turkey Trot". It is geared to enhance class participation in what can be some of the slowest months of the year.
Each participant receives an orange punch card with a picture of a Turkey, the game rules and numbers to be punched. Every time they take a class, the instructor punches the card. At the end of the 6 week period, the cards are turned in and prizes are awarded. Every participant receives a pocket planner from All That Glitters. The person with the most punches receives one free personal training session, the person with the second most punches wins 20 free group fitness classes, the third most punches receives 10 free group fitness classes.
This is a low-cost promotion which yielded good results for my program last year. The winner attended 4 classes a week during the 6 week promotional period. The overall average of all participants was about 3 classes per week.
