Our next contest will be something a little different - we're having an Easter treasure hunt for grownups! Certain products will be marked with an identifying icon, and prizes will be given for the person who finds the most treasures on our iCraft product pages.
We're planning to start this contest after the current National Craft Month contest ends. Details will follow shortly.
Please let us know if you are willing to donate one of your treasures for a prize in this contest.
Thanks!

Okay, nice Would it be something just for shop owners? Or something that Customers could join in on, and get some browsing in? I ask, because if customers are included, I will start promoting as soon as things are ironed out... |

This treasure hunt will be promoted to regular users, non-crafters, and will encourage them to browse through product pages and shops.

Hi SilverDawnJewelry,
Are you still interested in donating a prize to the new Easter Treasure Hunt contest? If so, please let us know the link to the item on your iCraft store, a short description of the item and its value.
We still need one more treasure as a prize. Anyone else interested?
Thanks,
Lannie

Oh yes, I am still interested https://icraftgifts.com/handmade/37313/sterling-bead-holder-for-larger-beads.phpSterling Bead Holder/Charm Holder 20.00 I have made these Sterling bead holder pendants, with just the right curve to allow any size of Pandora and Chuvora bead to easily slip over the inside of the spiral, and slide into place. Depending on the size of the bead, they will hold between 3 to 8 beads. You can slide your beads off or on any time, to wear whichever beads you would like each day Let me know if anything else is needed...and if there are any specifics drawn up for guidelines, that we can use to promote? |

That's great! We'll just use the name of the item, e.g. Sterling Bead Holder/Charm Holder, and the cost. When the users click on the link they'll get your longer description (see the format of the current contest, https://icraftgifts.com/contest/86/national-craft-month-2013.php). BTW, it's a lovely piece! I don't think there is any special guidelines for promotion: is there a potential issue you're concerned about? Lannie |

Pahnaho Beth (two feathers good to see you here too! Lannie, what I am wondering, is how to promote to customers (non members). Will there be a list of clues they need to find? Where will the list be? I can wait until the contest is up and running, and link promotions to the contest page?...or I can begin promoting early, to let them know it is coming up soon... So if I begin promoting before the hunt has begun, if I link them to the contest page...and say to keep an eye out 'here' for the upcoming easter treasure hunt on ICraft...details will be available soon...? That is all, just newbie questions  |

Hi SilverDawnJewelry, We will be posting upcoming Easter Treasure Hunt outlining rules and prizes to our "Contests & Giveaways" section soon. It will actually start closer to Easter, but we'll have that page live a couple weeks earlier, so we could start promoting it. You will be able to share a link to that page then. |

Quick update on the Easter Treasure Hunt. We are finalizing changes to the page now, so it should be ready for a promotion in a couple of days. The actual treasure hunt will happen between March 25-30. We decided to run it in a shorter period of time to keep the pressure up. I have to say the clues are pretty challenging, so it will be a lot of fun figuring them out. Btw, we are still looking for more donations. Just so you know, we are going to promote this page through Google and Facebook, so your products will get quite a bit of exposure. Stay tuned! |

So our Easter Treasure Hunt page is up now. Please help us promote it and make sure you check for clues on March 25th, when this treasure hunt will begin. It will be a lot of fun! Also, check our great prizes at the bottom of the page. |

Hi Delightful Suds, You said you are giving away your jewelry prize to Jajejems, but what about the "Sky Blue, Yellow and Bright Red Frilly Scarf" by The Knitting Lady? Do you give it away as well? Just to remind you - you could pick 2 out of 3 left items (Craft Boutique picked another scarf!). Here is the photo of that scarf:  |

I was the lucky winner of a whole bunch of prizes in the Easter bunny contest and I love them all! I think that I have thanked everyone and let them know that their donations are much appreciated. I was disappointed that my prize from Two Feathers never came. I contacted the seller twice and got no response. I don't want to complain because I received so many prizes but if that had been my only prize I would have been really disappointed and I feel that sellers who donate should send their prizes or explain why they can't. Just wanted you to know. Thanks again, Janis
