First Blog Giveaway!!!!

I am running my first official giveaway for followers of my blog.  The giveaway ends 05/07/11 and the winner will be announced here on the 8th.  The giveaway is if you are a follower of my blog or become a follower of my blog and comment on one of my posts you will be entered into a drawing for a $10.00 credit to my shop!!!  A pretty good giveaway I think.

Now I want to post the results of the Team BNR from Tuesday.  All in all it went pretty well.  I think it helped that I had a preview day on Monday and people promoted it a day ahead of time.  We had 15 sales with the total dollar amount of the sales right around $55.00.  Not bad for a no min. buy in!!!  Thanks to all Team BNRAA members for your hard work and lets keep it rolling into next week.

This week had the opportunity to get free advertising for a year at an online mall.  I am pretty excited about it.  I know I did a quick mention in my last post but I am going to post the link here.

I am in the fashion and beauty section.  Are online malls the wave of the future???  With gas prices at $4.20 who wants to drive very far?  The girl that runs it told me once she gets it full she is going to run a full ad marketing campaign on the mall.  I am very optimistic about it.

I decided at the last minute to do a show this weekend.  I've been looking for shows to do and this one just kind of sprung up on me.  It's a civil war reenactment and they have craft vendors there.  I know, I know how many people will show up to this you may ask.  Well, I took many things into consideration before deciding to do this.
          A.I will be the only hair bow vendor there
          B. It is the first nice weekend we have had had in over a month.  It is supposed to be sunny and 70 this weekend where it has been rainy and 50 for the last month.
          C. It is the 150th anniversary of the Civil War.  I think just for that reason alone, people will show up.
          D. The booth rent is low enough that I don't have to sell very much to break even.

So even if I made a bad decision about this I don't think I will be out any money.  But it's in a small town and it won't people any time at all to get the word out that this is a little craft show and I really think I made a good decision about this.  Set up is tomorrow morning with the show starting Saturday and going into Sunday.  Stay tuned for updates!!!!

Well everyone, have a good night and don't forget to follow me and comment!!!!!  :-D
