Christmas Giveway Contest!

I originally put this in my email newsletter over the summer, but I only had a 2-3 participants. So, now, I’m opening up the contest to anyone and everyone. This will also be posted on my Facebook Readers page. And you can forward this blog post to anyone you think might be interested. I’m looking to hit all available markets and avenues from teens up to our beloved grandparents or great-grandparents. :)

All right. Now for the contest. It's two-fold.

LEVEL ONE

1. Write a Review

Review any or all of my books. I've received dozens of reviews from readers, but they've all been sent privately to me. Some I’ve featured on my web site, and others I’ve shared on my blog. Now, I'd love to see some of these great words appear online for everyone else to read too!

2. Post Your Review Online at any review site such as Amazon.com, Christianbook.com, Barnes&Noble.com, etc.

3. Email Me the Link (or tell me the web site where you posted it and the book you reviewed. Any site that features book reviews will count, not just the ones I’ve listed above.

4. You will receive one entry in the giveaway contest for each book you review and post (but posting the same review to multiple sites only counts once).

Reviews count toward my overall marketing summary for my career. It's great when I can provide reviews to those who ask for them, but it's better when others can find them without asking.

LEVEL TWO

1. Forward this email to other reviewers.

Do you know someone who loves to write reviews, or someone who has read one of my books and might be willing to review it? If so, forward this email and ask them to follow the rules in Level One.

2. Have your friends say you referred them by providing your name and email address.

3. You will receive one entry for each friend who posts a review and gives your name as referrer.

BONUS LEVEL

1. Buy one of my books between August 1st and December 15th, 2010.

My books make fun gifts for the book lover in your circle of friends or family. If they love history and romance, they'll love my books. Buy one for yourself, a friend, a family member, or any other occasion.

2. Email me with the order confirmation # and web site where you purchased the book. No personal information, please. Protect your privacy.

3. You will receive two bonus entries for each book you buy.

EXTRA CREDIT

I didn't want to leave out anyone who might not write reviews, or anyone who hasn't yet read one of my books. So, this section is for you.

1. Refer subscribers to my quarterly newsletter.

2. Forward this email to your friends.

3. Ask your friends to put your name and email address as referrer when they subscribe.

4. You will receive one entry for every 2 people who subscribe.

PRIZE TIME!

And now it's time to tell you what you have a chance of winning. Winners will be drawn and announced on December 15th, 2010 via my newsletter, my web site, my blog, and Facebook, as well as Twitter.

Does this have to be something you did now? i have bought a couple of your books, i reviewed Copper and Candles on Christianbook.com

Tiffany Amber Stockton said...

That's an excellent question, Martha. And yes. Since my goal with this contest is to increase the online reviews and sales, only new purchases and reviews qualify for entries. But you can also refer new subscribers to my newsletter to gain entries.

Thanks for your continued support.

What a brilliant offer. Thank you! I guess I shall have to look out for another book to review before the deadline.

Martha A. said...

Thanks, Amber!

Great initiative.
But I have a question ... Can they engage people around the world? Is it international?
If so, in part because as soon as I have read one of your books.
Another question part:
I review books ...
What would that do to read and review your own and make them known?
Thanks.
A kiss
Lu

Lu, there is no limit to anyone. The contest is open to everyone worldwide. For your second question, I am not sure I understand what you are asking. Reviews on books always help promote the book and help those who might buy the book make a decision on if they want to buy it. I receive reviews from readers of my books all the time, but I would like to see more reviews posted online.

I hope that helps answer your questions.

Tiffany Amber Stockton said...

Btw, if you have already purchased any of my books but have not yet reviewed one, you don't have to purchase a new one. You can simply read and review what you already own.

When I say only new purchases and new reviews count, that's a review that isn't already posted online, or a new purchase of any of my books.

Hope that helps clarify.

Hello!
Oh! If International so if I participate, I was delighted.
With the reviews, I'm saying is that I would love to publish a recommendation of your books in my Blog, I am already up the book I have, but I want to comment on the other, the problem is that I have money to access them ... Mmm ... Anyway, I'll have to see if I would go out winning and talking about your work in my Blog.
Thank you for your prompt response.
All for now.
A kiss
Lu
