We have great giveaways lined up for the next three weeks. But before we get to those, I want to offer you something that I think will prove very valuable to you: free ad space!
As you may know, ad space is available here for reasonable rates that allow me to continue growing this site, featuring artisans, and furthering the handmade movement in Pennsylvania. To show you what an ad on Handmade in PA can do for you, I’ve decided to offer up 2 ad spaces for today’s giveaway! Two winners will each receive a square ad on the right side of the page for 2 weeks (about 3,000+ impressions).
So, how can you win?
If you blog, write a post (short but sweet is fine) on Handmade in PA’s Valentine’s Day gift guide. Then add a link or this button to your sidebar/blogroll. (If you need help adding the button, please email me – tara AT handmadeinpa DOT net.)
If you don’t blog, mention in your Artfire/Etsy shop announcement that you’re proud to be Handmade in PA and add our url (http://handmadeinpa.net). Bloggers can also utilize this as a 2nd entry.
For additional entries, Stumble this post, post our link on Facebook, and/or Twitter about Handmade in PA.net!
That’s a total of 5 entries up for grabs! Comment on this post each time you complete an entry with a link to the applicable site (this will continue to help me build the PA Artisans page, too!).
The giveaway ends Friday, January 23, at noon and is open to PA residents only. I will pick two winners at random and announce them shortly thereafter. Don’t worry if you don’t have an ad ready to go – I can help with that too! Just get out there, promote Handmade in PA.net and I’ll help promote you!
Tomorrow I’ll be posting pictures that my friend Amanda took at the Farm Show of some fabulous HiP artisans. Later this week, features on a new indie craft collective in Kutztown and Nicki Leigh Bath & Body. And information on Etsy & taxes from a Philadelphia tax attorney…I know, you’re thrilled!
If you haven’t yet, be sure to subscribe to Handmade in PA.net, either through RSS or through email – don’t miss any of our Keystone-y goodness!
Tara! Awesome giveaway!
You know I’m entering!
