UPDATE: It’s official – Congratulations to our lucky winner, Bryan E., who was selected at random (via random.org) … Thanks to everyone for participating. Stay tuned for our next Great Green Giveaway! The original post, follows…
This Earth Day we’re celebrating in a very Neat way — this Great Green Giveaway is generously sponsored by The Neat Company.
Here’s a great way to de-clutter, reduce paper consumption, recycle those piles of paper and go digital.
One very lucky reader will receive a NeatDesk unit, (check out the brief video). This awesome hardware scans receipts, business cards and important documents and exports the info to Excel, Outlook, your PDA or smart phone or simple pdfs. NeatDesk is fully compatible with Turbo Tax, Quicken and QuickBooks (totally neat since the IRS accepts scanned images of receipts.) Eco perk – the ADF Scanner + Digital Filing System is Energy Star compliant.
(Retail value: $399.95 + free shipping to anywhere in the USA or Canada.)
Here’s how to Enter this Random Drawing:
- Check out the NeatDesk unit and discover how to help make your life clutter-free and more organized.
- Then leave a comment on this post, telling us why this NeatDesk is for you.
- Be sure to add the following address to your email address book: m at AlternativeConsumer.com.
- By close of business Friday, you can also enter NeatDesk’s contest (5 winners will be selected)!
One lucky winner will be selected in our Random Drawing, and notified by email. Contest ends Thursday, April 29, 2010 at 11:59p (EST). Winner has 24 hours to claim their prize, or offer is null and void. Winner’s names will also be included on this post.

Thanks for the giveaway…my office & desk are a whirlwind of all manner of papers: reports, receipts, correspondence, invoices, bank statements, etc. that are just screaming for organization, so a NeatDesk for Mac would go a long way toward getting this nightmare straightened out…i.e. DIGITIZED !!!

This is for me because I have a TINY home and 4 kids. I have NO storage (my kitchen only has 1 drawer!) Everytime I open my kitchen cabinet papers fall out because that is where I have to put them. The inside of the cabinet door is full of more papers and business cards taped up on it. To clean that paper mess up would be SO wonderful. That would be just heavenly! To me, anyway!

I really like the neat desk. To have all that information centrally located is only a dream come true. Would like to give it a try!

The neat desk is for me because I have no room to store paperwork in my house or on my desk. I leterally use the coffee table to support my laptop.
With my husbands two businesses and my small home business, we are overrun with receipts and business cards, this would be a great way to store all that and unclutter our home.

My husband really, really needs this. He has 23 YEARS worth of unopened mail. He says that he needs to save everything because he “might” need it someday. Yeah right – like he could ever find it if he DID! It would be great if he could save everything on the computer instead of all over our house!

The NeatDesk is one cool product. I could really use this to clean up my desktop which is filled with paperwork that needs to be filed.

I would love to get be able to clean up some of the papers from our business
It would be so great to have some way to neatly store the information on charge slips especially, since they come in so many different sizes and often are printed by a method that fades due to time and/or light. One of the best things about this would be the ease of gathering information for income tax deductions for business purposes.
we need this,I am so unorganized it is not even funny!I am in charge of my moms business paperwork,our stuff,kids etc….need!!

I need this because I am trying to go paper free in 2010. My Mom did it in 2009 and it seems awesome.
I need this because my desk is a cluttery mess. I pile up receipts and other papers meaning to file them away but the pile just grows and grows.

When tax time comes around, I usually file for an extension because I have to gather up my paperwork. This scanner would be great – every time i had something for my taxes, I could just scan it and save it! Sure would make tax time so much easier!
Thanks for the giveaway!

I need a neat desk because I need to get more organized, and this will help!
This is for me!! I am so disorganized–this would really help to put some order in my day. I have stacks of unsorted paper items. If I can get it computerized that would be great!!
Wow. I always lose important papers, so if I had this I would scan and save them so I’ll have them when i need them.

I would be thrilled to get rid of the boxes of receipts!!!!
i’m cluttered with paper! i’d love this!
I don’t have a scanner so I’m always going to the library to scan any documents I need to send by email. The NeatDesk would save me a lot of time and it would help me keep track of all of my expenses if I can scan every receipt and save it onto my desktop. Thanks!
