Giveaways part 1

There are many ways and kinds of giveaways. 

Different giveaways will bring in different types of attention whether that be to your shop directly, to gain new followers on instagram or facebook, but in the end it's all to gain more sales. 

Here are just a few examples of giveaways that I commonly see etsy users using. 

1) a giveaway through a popular blog

-this can mean a few different things: when I did this, the blog did a feature on my and my shop with an interview and had a giveaway at the end.

Some blog giveaway just have a quick description of your shop and then explain the giveaway details.

Remember to include a related grasping photograph and links to all related sites. Most times when you do a giveaway you should have part of the entry requirements be to like your site on at least 1 or 2 specific social media sites followed up by admiring your shop online. 

This will help bring attention directly to your shop as well as your key social media outlets.

2) a giveaway through instagram or facebook

-create an image that will attract customers, put a text on that image with the giveaway details. Make sure if it's through instagram to have them both tag @ and # your shop's tag name. 

If you are doing a giveaway yourself, make sure you truly pick your winner at random. 

I saw one shop I follow recently go viral with their image on instagram. I thought it was brilliant. 

This method of giveaway will help build a bigger audience on your instagram or facebook. These are great because it is where you should be posting all your updates which will lead them to your site.
