Hello everyone. Sorry for the late post. Friday was crazy busy! We are leaving bright and early Monday morning (5am!) to go on a cruise for the whole week and so I am scrambling to get everything done before we leave.

-- CONTEST --

As previously mentioned in my last post, we are going to start a contest with the freebies. There will be TWO WINNERS each month! Below are the simple steps to enter:

• Download the weekly freebies
• Create a layout using a freebie (mix it up! make it fun!)
• Send me your layout by:
  • email :: bluedaisydigital@gmail.com
  • Facebook :: www.facebook.com/bluedaisydesigns
    • Post it to your account and tag “Blue Daisy Designs”
  • comment :: with link to your blog or photo account
• One random winner will be selected at the end of the month
• A second winner will be selected by me for the ‘best use’ of the freebie so have fun!

Submit your layout at any time. Entries excepted for each month up till the last day. Winner will be announced within the first week of the next month. Any of our freebies from the month can be used to enter. You can submit one layout for each freebie so each month you will have approximately four chances to enter. Winner will be posted on the blog so make sure to check back.

 Each monthly winner will receive a $25 gift certificate to our shop!

Please note, by entering this contest you agree to allow me the use of your design/layout in promoting Blue Daisy Designs, whether on our Facebook page, website, or blog. As always, if we use your work, credit will be given to you with a link to your website and/or photography Facebook page. Feel free to include a watermark on your layout to copyright your photos.

The most wonderful time of the year!

Hello everyone. Sorry for the delayed response to our last post about freebies. I am guessing that you are all busy as well with the holiday preparations and festivities. There is a lot going on around my house. To add to the wonderful season, my little brother just returned from Iraq on Tuesday! It was the best Christmas gift our family could receive.

Thanks for those who commented on our last post or on Facebook in regards to freebies. The purpose of freebies is two folds. First to say THANK YOU to all you purchase our templates. The second, is to hopefully bring more business in. 

The most repeated comment was that most of you use a blog reader and there isn't a way to comment directly from there. One of the readers made a suggestion to "do a small contest every week or so using the Freebie! People who use the freebie show how they used it. Random winner who offers a submission wins an extra freebie!"

I love this idea! So starting in January I will be implementing something similar. It will most likely be a monthly thing and the award will either be another freebie or a gift card to our store so the winner can chose anything they like. 

I will post a brand new freebie the first week of January. Until then, I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 

The end of freebies...?

So I've been thinking. Not sure yet what I want to do, but here are my thoughts...

We try to post a freebie once a week and for the most part we do. We are late here and there, but usually have it up sometime that weekend. On average, our freebies are downloaded about 60-75 times in the one week that they are available (before we remove the download link). We enjoy giving away freebies and hope you like them as well. However, it is a little disappointing that basically no one leaves a comment or takes the time to read the post. Did you know we gave away a $50 gift certificate (here on our blog) to our store and only 6 people entered by leaving a comment!? 

Just not sure if the blog is worth our time and energy. If you disagree, please leave us a note and you may persuade us otherwise. Thanks!
