Chris and I changed some of the entry requirements into our giveaways (all giveaways starting on March 17th) to help speed up the process that you all go through to enter them.
As you all know, we dumped Rafflecopter a few months ago thanks to all of the cheating going on and due to it dramatically decreasing our overall page views on our site. (Overall page views are an important stat to maintain and it allows us to get more items and bigger ticket items to review/giveaway to all of you).
We now have only one mandatory entry per giveaway and it is worth 3 entries into that particular giveaway. As always, if the mandatory entry is not completed then none of your bonus entries will count. Furthermore, you must give us a specific name of a product or do the task to it’s fullest for your mandatory entry to count. Any generic mandatory entries such as: “I want to win”, “I could really use that”, “My kids would love that”, “Enter Me Please”, etc. will ALL be REJECTED. Those are not entries and we will NOT accept them for the mandatory entry.
Next, instead of giving you all 5 entries for having our button, following us on Google+, Blogging about the Giveaway, etc. We lowered them all to 2 entries each. This will speed up your time when it comes to filling out and completing your bonus entries. yeah!
In addition, we added a new entry option. You can now share about that particular giveaway on your Facebook page and/or on Google+ and earn bonus entries (2 per task) and we will need for you to leave your status link so we can verify the share.
Finally, many of you have our Two Classy Chics blog button on your sites and we appreciate that and we know you enjoy those bonus entries. With that said, many of you still have it linked to our old blogger blog. We have been on WordPress for almost a year now so PLEASE…take the time today to grab the new copy/paste code for our button from our side bar and change out the button. Please double check that the button on your site leads to this blog here on WordPress and not to our old blogger blog. (they are the same identicle buttons but lead to 2 different blogs). From now on…if the button goes to our old blog we will not be able to count those bonus entries so it is in your best interest to take a few seconds of time today to double check it.
We think these changes will speed up the entry process for all of you. We know some of you like Rafflecopter but at this time we can not and will not bring it back (although if Rafflecopter improves some of it’s features we might bring it back in the future, but not now).
Thank you for visiting and reading the Two Classy Chics Blog! We appreciate all of you! Have a great Sunday!
