January Giveaway

Hey all,

I thought it might be nice to figure out what's going on for January a little earlier this time, especially since the holidays are coming up and everyone is busy! This might give us some time to get things ready before all heck breaks loose.

A few suggestions:
Start it later and go for the 2nd half of the month
Skip January, give us all a break. I don't know how much spending people do after the holidays. I tend to save, personally.

Also, I will be out of town from Dec.17th-Jan. 6th, so I won't be around to help out. I will get on as soon as possible once I'm home again!

This is the giveaway list for next year so far. I certainly wouldn't mind taking a month off and just bumping these shops down a month. I agree that people will be recouping from the holiday action and may not be around so much.


2010
January -Jane
February Cali
March -Lisa
April

Then let's do that! Just take a month off and start the new list in February. Valentine's Day is a good time to start with a fresh promotion I think. So if Jane, Cali, and Lisa are alright being moved to the next month that sounds like a good idea!

I agree! SOunds good, I am just starting up, and I can tell you it is a little over whelming to have an etsy shop, blog, personal site, then face to face contacts/sales, that I am fearful I will brinout to fast and too quick. Plus I am doing my first show ever this weekend!

I have no problem being bumped a month. A break would be great, post holiday is usually a super busy time for me anyway! The giveaway for me for march would have to end a couple days short of the end of the month because I am leaving for Costa Rica on the 27th of april, but that is still a good amount of time for people to enter.

I think skipping January would be fine - let everyone recoup.

Great! Thanks for your input! I think after Holidays is always a bit busy!

Maybe we can put up a poll, but I'm up for starting up again in February. Like I said somewhere before, I'll be gone until Jan. 6th anyway!
