We’ve taken you to the eco-lodges of Ecuador, hired you private cinema screens in L.A, we’ve created the ultimate Bond trips to coincide with the launch of the new movie and made you dance with Dracula in the forests of Romania, we’ve sent you in groups to watch the Yankees play in New York, we’ve given you a taste of Indian delights in London with authentic Indian taxi rides to all day Indian cooking extravaganzas, we’ve sent lucky families to fabulous choices of Mediterranean destinations, we’ve sent you to experience zero gravity in Florida, filled boots full of loot, sent you to race your lives away on Nurburgring and even sent out 1000’s of inflatable crocodiles! 

Unmissable really appreciates the feedback we get from winners.  Here's a selection of some of the wonderful comments we've had in 2008.

“I just wanted to tell you that we had the very best time! Your arrangements were perfect as was every aspect of the prize. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, the hotel was superb, the breakfast to die for and the body scrub was one of the most relaxing experiences we have ever enjoyed! Thank you so much for everything you did for us, you were so nice helpful and efficient. We had the most memorable weekend you could imagine” Amanda Long

“Just to thank you for sorting out my break so quickly for us, we are really looking forward to it. We haven't had a holiday this year because of the credit crunch, so it was like a dream come true to win this. “ Jane Townson

“We have come away with memories that we treasure and my wife and I wish to express our appreciation to yourself and the hotel staff who made our time so enjoyable.” Andrew & Koy McCall

“The ship was beautiful, the accommodation, service, food and entertainment were all first class! From boarding to disembarking everything went smoothly, I could not have wished for anything more. It is the first competition I have ever won!”  Naomi Laughton

And here’s a taste of things to come in 2009!

We think this year is going to be all about brands giving something back to their customers, helping ease the burden of difficult lives and cherishing the more basic things in life.  We think prizes and incentives such as these will be the kind of things that really rise to the challenges of the emerging new climate:

Cleaners for a year, personal shoppers to help make the most of challenging household budgets, family holidays that might otherwise be forgone, essential food box deliveries, home entertainment kits, sizzling weekend breaks that don’t ‘break’ the budget, feel good and well loved locations such as Cornwall and Biarritz and little thank you luxuries such as garden and kitchen makeovers.

Cash might be king, but creativity will always rise to the top. We can of course put all of these and more together for you and very much look forward to speaking to you in 2009.

Aim for the sky, it’s never too high.
