Some of you may have seen my FB post about the cancer research fundraising walk I'm doing next month to honor my mother. We've already raised a good chunk of cash; I'm going to increase our fundraising goal and I'm excited to keep the momentum going, so I was trying to think of ways to keep my messaging fresh over the course of the next month -- because I know that after this initial burst of personal storytelling, interest will slow down significantly. Marketing and all that.
In the shower, where all good thoughts come to us, I had an AHA moment: Do giveaways. At first I was like, okay, how many things can I knit in the next few weeks? And then I was like, I am crazy because I really don't have time to knit more than a hat or two. And THEN I was like, but I have all of these talented and generous friends...
So. I'm coming to you all to ask for a different kind of donation. If you're crafty and make things and have the time to make something (ha ha ha yeah I know), would you consider donating it to the cause? Maybe you already have something completed in your stash for which you haven't identified a good home? If you have an etsy shop I'll promote the hell out of it in return. I can also reimburse you for shipping.
Anyway, please PM me if you're interested. And thanks in advance!
