Coming 7/20- FREE THINGS!!!!

[NariaDreaming]

Great news everyone! We've been hard at work getting to know some super skilled artisans around the world who want to partner with TCF to bring you some free goodies!


We've created this giveaway board to keep you all informed about the great products we will be giving away. All of the giveaways will be administered through Facebook, so if you haven't liked our fan page, you should do that ASAP!

www.facebook.com/thencomesfamily


Announcements will not be obtrusive or frequent, and contest announcements will be of short duration on the boards.

And I promise that there's something for everyone- we won't be sending baby laundry soap and hand sanitizer to the infertility community *coughcoughBEEJcough*. If a product IS child related, we will be filtering that announcement to keep it off of the desktop version of the IF and loss forums. Sorry that we still can't do anything about those announcements on mobile


Let us know if you have any questions- or if you happen to be a super talented artist who would like to partner with us for a giveaway.


*note- the admins are not receiving any sort of compensation, product sample, or gift in exchange for hosting these giveaways*

Right now the plan is to use Rafflecopter. There is now a giveaway tab on the TCF facebook page, and it will go live monday with the different things you can do to enter.

Soooo.. What about those of us who don't have fb?

I *think* raffle copter will allow you to register with an email address.

Absolutely. So far the vast majority of our giveaway sponsors aren't members

[bluebell0315]

Woo!

My only concern with "liking" the FB page is it showing up on my timeline and people finding me over here.

[Mom2Ms]

This community has really taken off & is bad ass. This makes mother happy.

That was my hesitation, too.

Well part of this is advertising, to get the word out about the board, thru FB, so if people follow you over here hopefully they'll join the site to help keep it going and healthy.

And I'd hope that your friends on facebook aren't assholes. Because you guys certainly aren't

[orriskitten]

Are people living abroad allowed to enter?

Generally yes we are also going to have some that are international only

[USCgirl]

But that doesn't really work for people who aren't "out" about their IF, their pregnancy, or other things I'm not thinking of. Those are the first and second reasons I don't "like" TCF on facebook. I didn't need snoopy friends or family wondering/asking/hinting if I was pregnant when I wasn't.

Yes I understand completely. It's going to be a task to try to balance the advertising and promoting of this board and people's privacy about he very personal topics discussed here.

Luckily as our social media presence continues to grow, so too will our membership. More members = more sleuthing people have to do to try and figure out who you are. And generally speaking, I feel like the people who would be worried about friends from FB finding them here are the types that already take security precautions that would make it hard to piece things together. Back on the dump, I referred several IRL friends to 3T and they never even knew I was the mod until after the exodus.
