I've mentioned here, multiple times I think, that keychain collecting as a hobby is underrepresented online. Consequently, it's been difficult for me to find places and ways to promote my keychain blog. I'm sure there must be other keychain collectors out there, it's just a matter of finding them. However, I'd also like to believe that even non-collectors would still find my blog entertaining, maybe even informative. So the question is, what can I do to draw attention to the blog and attract a wider audience? How about hosting a Halloween themed giveaway?
The prize for this giveaway is a small Ouija board keychain manufactured in the 1990s by Basic Fun Inc.
The keychain even comes with a small planchette, inside a hidden drawer that's built into the board.
Basic Fun keychains were highly collectable back in the day, and I believe they still have a following. These keychains were also favorites with doll collectors, who used them as props in their doll dioramas. I bought this particular keychain secondhand, and at some point in its history the keychain 'findings' were removed, most likely to serve as a doll prop. The chain and split ring that are on there now are replacements that I had on hand.
And now, on to the giveaway rules.
This giveaway is open to anyone with a United States mailing address. Sorry, but the way postage keeps going up I can't afford international shipping.
To enter the giveaway, leave a comment on this blog post with your name or screen name, as well as an email address where I can contact you if you win. I have Blogger set up so that all comments are sent to me for approval. This way, the giveaway entries will not be published on the blog and no one but me will see your contact information.
Because this blog has very few followers and a relatively small number of views, I want to give readers plenty of time to spread the word to their friends about the giveaway. Therefore, I will be accepting entries for the entire month of October. However, because the last day of October falls on a Saturday this year, and because I'm usually busy on the weekends, the actual final day to enter the giveaway will be Sunday, November 1st. On November 2nd I will choose a winner at random. Then, I will contact the winner using the email address they provided with their entry. I will also announce the winner's name on the blog. (Keep this in mind when entering. If you would prefer that your real name not be published if you win, then use a screen name when entering.)
The winner will be given 2 weeks to contact me, so that I can obtain a mailing address from them. If I don't hear from the winner by then, a new winner will be chosen. Even if the prize doesn't appeal to you personally, feel free to tell others about the giveaway if you think they might be interested. Good luck to all.
Signed, Treesa
