It is now possible to own free HTC phones in one of its weekly giveaways. The promo mechanics is given for guidance.
According to 9 to 5 Google, HTC is launching "Free Fone" giveaways. HTC will be sending new phones each week until the end of the year. There are important guidelines to follow but the promo is considered straightforward and easy to follow.
For one to be eligible for the HTC promo, the age is a vital requirement. An entrant should be at least 18 years of age. One should also be a legal resident of the USA. One of the strict requirement forbids HTC employees and affiliates to join.
HTC is calling the promo "Sweepstakes." This will take place every Friday and all Fridays leading up to Dec. 24, 2016, with a new handset every consecutive week. It also is given 24 hours for one to register and apply.
It is important to go to HTC's website. The website of HTC will be asking for contact details and it may also ask for the current mobile phone being used. After filling out the form for every important detail that the site is asking for, one has to wait and hope to be selected.
HTC will be choosing either one or two winners each week. For the first Friday of the promo upon launch, the chosen winner/s will be getting a brand new One M9. The HTC phone may not be considered the latest but it is still a free device which could be a good addition to a collection.
Why is there a need for HTC to do such a promotion? It is reported by Business Insider that HTC's global market share only is at 2 percent. HTC was once known to be a leading smartphone manufacturer back in 2011.
HTC has been overtaken by mobile phone players such as Samsung, Apple and even China-based brands such as Xiaomi and Huawei. This is HTC's attempt to regain popularity by creating a buzz. Is this going to be an effective promo to increase HTC's market share? Next year will provide a good assessment.
