Uprinting Custom Sticker Giveaway

July 9, 2009 21 Comments

I’m happy to announce the start of a new giveaway sponsored by our friends at Uprinting.

Uprinting is an online printing company that provides high quality prints for a number of different items including brochures, company letterhead and business cards, vinyl banners, window clings, menus, greeting cards, catalogs, and more!

The company also provides sticker printing. Stickers are a great tool for bloggers and business owners. You can use them to advertise and hand out to customers like business cards. Or you can use them to label your products or spruce up your product’s packaging.

They can also be used in your personal life. You could use them to label your bakeware or label your child’s school supplies. Or you can create address labels or letter seals for the back of your envelopes.

Uprinting is offering 250 custom stickers to one Simply Sweet Home reader. You can choose a design from the Uprinting website, or you can upload your own design.

For my own custom sticker, I’m using my blog button. I think a sticker like this would be great for promoting my blog. Don’t you?

This Giveaway is now closed.

Other Rules, Restrictions, and Additional Entries:

-This giveaway is open to US and Canadian residents ONLY.

-The winner of the giveaway is required to pay shipping for the prizes.

-Don’t forget, if you don’t have a blog or a profile with a visible email address, please include your email address in your comment so that I can contact you if you win. (Can’t stress this enough!)

-For extra entries, you can follow me on blogger and/or twitter and facebook, or subscribe to my mailing list. Just leave additional comments, and please leave a user name or something so that I can verify. Thanks!

Break Pal Review and Giveaway

April 23, 2009 28 Comments

Can’t find the time to exercise? Finding it hard to stay fit when you’re sitting at a desk all day? Looking for a convenient alternative to the gym? Then you should try Break Pal. It’s a great site where you can access quick workouts every day.

Break Pal is devoted to “Fitness at Your Desk.” It is specially designed for people who work at a desk job and would be perfect for bloggers and people who own a computer-based home business.

Here’s how it works. You sign up for a free trial, and then download the Break Pal widget onto your computer. When you’re working at your computer, you’ll get an alert when it’s time to exercise. You can set your alerts to come at the intervals of your choice: every 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, or 60 minutes. You then click on a link to go to the list of exercises on the Break Pal website.

The site has a variety of exercises that can be done right from your desk such as stretches, Chi Kung, yoga, and Cardio Karaticise. (My favorite exercises are the Block Lunge exercises, which are Standing Cardio Karaticise.)

There are videos that walk you through each exercise. Each video lasts only a few minutes, which is perfect if you’re on a tight schedule, and it’s great for someone who wants to incorporate a short work out into their day. The exercises are fun and can be done by anyone, regardless of your current fitness level, and because each session only lasts a few minutes, you can avoid the fatigue, sweating, and shortness of breath that goes along with a lot of traditional workouts.

What I love about the site is the flexibility that it offers. I always find it difficult to get into a regular exercise routine, so having this widget is very helpful to me. And I love that each exercise routine only lasts a couple of minutes. This allows people of all fitness levels to participate, and it allows you to do the exercise regardless of how much time you have on your hands. It’s also great that you can set your alerts to come at different time intervals. This means that whether you’ll be at your desk for a couple of hours or all day long, you can set aside plenty of time to exercise.

The website also offers a point system for doing your exercises, and they have a network where you can make friends with fellow Break Pal users. You can also create your own profiles and post to an online blog about what your doing on Break Pal.

A membership to this website normally costs $9.95 per month. And today I’m happy to announce that BreakPal is going to give away A Free Membership to 5 lucky Simply Sweet Home Readers. Your membership will never expire, and it will give you access to the Break Pal Widget, all the great exercise routines, and other features on the site.

Giveaway Rules:
To enter, leave a comment telling me something that you think would like about Break Pal. (Don’t forget to leave your email address if you do not have a blog or profile so that I’ll be able to contact you if you win.)

Additional Entries: Please leave separate comments for each entry to ensure that all your entries are counted.

1. For one additional entry, you can tweet about the giveaway, or spread the word on another social networking site. Just leave a comment letting me know that you did that. (Please leave your username or a link.) You can make up your own tweet or use the following:

Sweet Thursday Reminder and Lavender Cottage Giveaway Winner

April 2, 2009 3 Comments

Hey everyone. First I want to remind you that I’ll be posting my Easter Edition of Sweet Thursday next week. So far I’ve found some really cute items to share with you. If you’re making any Easter treats that you’d like to share with us, simply email me at simplysweethome@hotmail.com and I’ll include you in the round-up. I’m also planning to post some Easter craft ideas next week, so if you any of those you’d like to share, I invite you to send in your link for that as well.

Now onto our giveaway results: I want to thank everyone who entered our Lavender Cottage jewelry giveaway. I’m happy to say that we had over 200 entries! This is really great because the more entries we have, the more likely we’ll be able to get sponsors for future giveaways.

I also want to take this time to thank Cheryl for providing our lovely giveaway prize and thank everyone who helped to promote our giveaway on their own blogs and Twitter.

The winner was selected by a random drawing. And my hubby was our special guest “drawing person.” (So if you didn’t win, you may direct your frustration at him… Just kidding!)

The name he drew out was Jill of Frugal Plus and Points & Prizes. Congratulations Jill!

Advertising, Sponsorships, Reviews, and Giveaways

February 8, 2009 2 Comments

Hello! Since receiving my first sponsorship offer from an insurance company called Castle Cover, I decided to officially announce that I am offering advertising space to other online retailers and small businesses.

My blog currently has a pagerank of 3, and we get between 1300 and 2000 hits a week and between 1600 and 2500 pageviews a week. And I expect this number to grow in our third year of production. Here’s a little bit of information about my sponsorship options:

Advertising/Sponsoring: If you would like to advertise on Simply Sweet Home, you can email me at simplysweethome@hotmail.com, and I’ll send you more information. I offer a variety of adspace sizes and packages to suit your needs, and all sponsors get a complimentary post written about their site. I also have a number of special benefits that I offer. (also, see examples of Write-ups I’ve done for sponsors.)

Reviews: I love trying new products, and I’d be happy to introduce your product to my readers. All reviews will be written within a week of receiving the products unless otherwise stated, and I keep all products that are sent to me for review. (See previous product reviews.)

Giveaways: Giveaway sponsors will be responsible for providing a giveway prize and shipment of the prize. If you’d like to sponsor a giveaway on my site, I’d love to work with you on that. It is great advertising for shop owners, and it’s fun for the readers too. I run most giveaways for about 2 weeks, and I list them on a number of sites, so you are sure to get a lot of exposure and advertising for your business! (Example of a previous giveaway)

Testimonials: Here’s what a couple of my sponsors had to say about their sponsorship experience.

“I am so thrilled!! Thank you so much for posting such a Great write-up about my jewelry!! I love that you added so many links and everything you wrote was very nice!! I truly appreciate you taking the time to do that as well~definitely worth more than what I paid for the advertising alone!” -Amy at Our 2 Peas in A Pod

“Jerri is a joy to work with, and I am very pleased with the results from both my ad and my giveaway. I have seen an increase in views of my shop and several sales!” -Cheryl at Lavender Cottage

If you’re interested in advertising on this site, sponsoring a giveaway, or getting a product review, just email me at simplysweethome@hotmail.com for all the details.
