{Giveaway Day, coming 6.20.11}

Calling handmade shop owners & lovers of handmade items — it’s time to get ready for Giveaway Day, which is a huge {and super fun} event within the Gussy Sews community. During Giveaway Day, handmade shops are featured in an individual post every hour along with a specific giveaway item. It’s a celebration of handmade goodness and is oh-so fun! And guess what? It’s time for another party :]

Giveaway Day is set for Monday, June 20th

If you have a handmade shop, I would love to hear from you {details listed below}. I heart giveaway day and I know the Gussy Sews community does, too.

Giveaway Day is a sure way to promote your shop, find new friends, drive traffic, and expand your social network. This has been a phenomenal year in regards to the community that’s building here.

Are you interested in participating as a shop owner? Here are the details:

* There’s a $45 minimum for the giveaway item {specific item or shop credit}
* If accepted, you’ll receive a short & sweet individual post featuring you and your handmade shop
* Giveaway Day starts Monday, June 20th at 12:01am CST and ends Tuesday, June 21st at 10pm CST — all winners will be announced Wednesday the 21st, mid-morning
* Only 24 shops will be featured — one per hour, and the Gussy Sews community is encouraged to enter all giveaways. Shops will be featured at random and GD is open for a total of 48 hours. All 24 giveaways will be automatically sent to my Twitter [5,240+ friends] and Facebook [5,350+ friends] accounts.
* Is there a fee to participate? If accepted it’s $40 to participate/paid via PayPal {remember there are only 24 slots available}

For Giveaway Day to be successful and for all parties involved to benefit, I’m only accepting 2 shops in any given category {max}. If you’re interested, please contact me via email right away to get a spot {gussy at gussysews dot com}. The deadline to enter is Friday, June 17th at 12pm CST.

Once you’ve submitted your application, watch your email to see if your shop will be in the next Giveaway Day! All responses will have be delivered by Saturday morning, June 18th and then the party starts Monday the 20th :]

♥ Aside from Giveaway Day, the only way to promote your shop on this blog is through sponsorship {click over for sponsorship opportunities, page views, readership demographics}. Giveaway Day is a really great opportunity to share your wares with the Gussy Sews community and to participate in a reoccurring blog event.

Send me an email by 12pm CST on June 17th {Friday} if you’re interested — gussy at gussysews dot com! xoxo
