ESL Conversation Ideas - Promotional Contest

This activity works in a regular ESL class or a business communications course.

The task is for groups to create a promotional contest.

Start by discussing promotional contests such as "buy one get one free", or "free iPod with purchase."

Students then work in groups to create their own promotional contest. Have then choose a company to base their ideas on.

Ask them to present their ideas based on these questions:

Why would your contest be popular?
How would it make people buy more of the product?
What extra costs would the company incur?
