Ready…Set…Give!

The Hoot deluxe diabetes clutch is on its way, and wow the pre-orders and the feedback has been amazing. So this leads me to believe that securing some sponsors for giving some of them away should be a breeze…should being the key word here.  I’ve never had to pitch for sponsorship, so I’ll be doing my research and hoping I can get the gist of it.  Hey if you have any experience with sponsorship and what is involved I’d entertain your experience or your feedback on how to get this project going.

The idea I have for now is to do one giveaway a week for 2 months or so.  So as I go and scout out some sponsors I open up your suggestions for sponsor ideas. Who would you like to see as a sponsor? Is there a product or service you’d like to try out? Let’s hear em!

When you have a spouse who is gone for 6 months at a time.

You have a lot of time to think, and a lot of time to let your mind

wander through it’s tunnels and caves.  Lately my mind is on a rampage…

well lemme rephrase. My mind is on an ever-searching voyage.  With

my husband retiring from the Navy in just over 4 years, it has been

my promise to him that when that time comes, he can take some time

and really figure out who he is without the Navy and not immediately

jump back into another job or career. I think after 20 years (15 of it together)

I can at least give him that.

This means that financially we’ve gotta have our schtick together…more

importantly I’ve got to have my schtick together.  Because truth be told, my

husband is the money maven in the house…me…well let’s just say I’m still

learning….. And moving on.

While putting it out there with my V.I.P.S Circle, and trying to transform my

business, it’s becoming obvious that I have to clearly define the purpose and

what I’m trying to accomplish.

Sounds easy enough right? But uugh it’s so hard to get it right, and get others around you

on board. I struggle with this, but I’m not gonna give up. I know what I’m doing

means something…to someone.  And eventually it will grow and flourish…

This is where I am, I’m striving to be the bread winner of my household…I’m trying

to get there in less than 5 years. I plan on doing it with my company Stick Me Designs…and

I hope you’ll come along for the ride…especially if you like roller coasters.

The Hoot deluxe clutch bag is coming this month.

But here’s the thing…

I’d like to give 15 of them away…

That means 15 lucky few will get a Hoot deluxe clutch…for absolutely FREE!

Why? It’s all part of my initiative to give just as much as I sell!

In what I’m now calling the V.I.P.S Circle – Very Important Pumpers & Stickers

Have you joined the V.I.P.S Circle yet? Because if you haven’t you’re

gonna miss out!

Next is enticing some Sponsors to join in the festivities! Who do you know

that would like to be a Sponsor of a giveaway or 2?  Or what product or service

would you like to try out, or sample? Comment to let me know, or Tweet it, and

tell me on the Fan page!

I’m excited to get this project started and give some very lucky,

much deserved peeps FREE Stick Me Designs gear!

In order to do this I’ll need a few lucky Sponsors.
