Supply Chain Management

We take care to select each supplier, manufacturer and advertiser we deal with to ensure their ethics and reputation match our own values. We only work with top suppliers to source the prizes we offer in our competitions. Every prize we deliver is of the highest quality and produced in a responsible manner wherever possible.

Working with suppliers

We work hand in hand with a range of suppliers to support our prize competitions. We take care to partner up and build long-term relationships with quality companies that share our own vision of doing business in a socially responsible manner.

When building a relationship with a new supplier, we focus on a range of aspects:

  • Reputation in the supplier’s chosen markets;
  • Commitment to working in a socially responsible manner;
  • The supplier’s own policies for sourcing and distributing products to their customers;
  • Interest in partnering up with charitable organisations in our competitions;
  • Ability to source and distribute prizes locally to our winners;
  • Obtaining feedback from their customers wherever possible.

Highest quality prizes

We believe that our success as an organiser of prize competitions depends on our ability to reliably offer attractive and desirable prizes to our players. That’s why each prize featured on Skill Contest is assessed versus a range of criteria to ensure the highest quality is maintained at all times:

  • We only feature original products and services by partnering up with the best quality suppliers. We never feature product imitations in our competitions;
  • We pick prizes based on our ability to source them at an attractive price from our suppliers;
  • We also pick prizes that allow us to work with advertisers to promote our competitions;
  • We have a strong preference for prizes produced by socially responsible companies that enjoy a strong reputation with their customers;
  • Wherever possible, we prefer to feature products and services that are produced in a sustainable manner for the environment.

Advertising on Skill Contest

Working in partnership with advertisers helps us both promote our competitions and offer our players great prizes at attractive odds. In doing so, we actively seek out advertising that our players will find helpful and relevant.

We review each ad featured on Skill Contest to make sure it meets our internal guidelines:

  • We adhere to the same high standards for advertisers as for suppliers, as listed above;
  • Any advertising, content, website or promotion it is linked to should not be deemed offensive or objectionable by our players or partners;
  • We focus on the relevance of each ad with regards to the competition or content it is displayed next to. We focus first and foremost on how useful it could be for our players;
  • We take into account any feedback from our players on ads featured on Skill Contest.

Shipping and distribution

We work with our suppliers directly to distribute our prizes, together with reputable shipping companies to reach our winners worldwide. When considering how to best distribute a prize, product or service, we consider the following key points as part of our supply chain management:

  • Prompt delivery of the product or service to our winners;
  • We take care to ensure our prizes are always in perfect quality when they reach their point of delivery;
  • We prefer to work with companies that are able to deliver prizes locally and try to work with companies that enjoy high standards in terms of protecting the environment;
  • Where possible, we like to use our suppliers’ existing distribution network to minimise any potential risk of delay or damage to prizes.
