spread the word contest
The 2015 GRBS Bead Show & Sale is coming up in less than 2 months!
It is on Sept. 26-27 at Bingeman's in Kitchener.
Information about the show, the classes and the Culture Days activities are here .
Why a Contest?
This show is the major fund-raiser and source of dollars to support the continuation of our top-quality monthly meetings. This means that we need to spread the word as widely as possible.
The Reward
This is a unique opportunity for one of you to WIN A HUGE PRIZE ($100+ value) for telling the most people about our show. We will announce the grand winner at our show.
How To Play
All you have to do is tell your family, friends and acquaintances about the show—and record the setting and the number of people you contact. Then send an email to contest.grbs@gmail.com to tell us about it. Multiple emails are fine—we’ll collate the information by name and email address.
Ideas
Each contact you make and record is worth 1 point. If they sign up on our show’s webpage to receive the show newsletter you’ll get 2 points for that entry—just email us to let us know your friend did so. All new newsletter signups between now and the Bead Show will automatically be entered in the contest.
Examples of email entries:
This next idea may sound a bit like a pyramid scheme but listen up….try asking each person you tell to share the show information with 2 people they know. (Then they each tell 2, and they each tell 2…).
Who’s Eligible
Everyone is eligible to enter this contest! You don't have to be a member of GRBS to participate—you just have to record the when and where of each contact you make and send us an email.
Note: We especially need new contacts from Kitchener-Waterloo because this is the first year that our show will be held at Bingeman's Conference Centre in Kitchener.
