OK so can I say I never expected so many votes (about 800 so far!), that is amazing, that means so many people love you and also a lot of my FB friends, and wedding professionals also voted. VERY cool. The downside is people can be mean and turned me a little off from having another contest. I did this contest to give back, give a free makeup and hair services to a deserving bride, I kept it VERY fair and had to stick to FB rules. FB rules are very strict and I had a friend's page get pulled off for doing a contest on her page. If you read the guidelines you will understand.
I am sorry it made it difficult for some people but that is why I let you vote through email and twitter as well. Rules are rules and I made everyone go by the rules to be fair. I was able to control that everyone only voted once on each page and also that you had to like the page for it to count.
I had to delete all votes as soon as they popped up on page as it would alert FB and I would be breaking the rules and after my problems last week with my business name believe me I don't want that hassle again.
............... BUT the good stuff.... so #4, #1 and #7 are seriously within a few votes of each other with #2 not too far behind. This is exciting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You have until noon tomorrow, I will be working to count votes late tonight and first thing in am. I will stop voting right at noon and then announce winner right after!!!! The winner gets free makeup and hair for 5 bridesmaids and yourself, airbrush services, and free lashes! It is about a $1000 gift from our team to a lucky winner!!!! I loved reading all the nice comments your friends and family said about you!!!! GOOD LUCK!!!! No matter what, I am super excited about announcing winner tomorrow and how close it is!!!
Thank you Kristin and your team for doing everything you have done to even make this contest possible and for taking the time to go through all the hoops especially with the name issues! Best of luck and can't wait to see the winner!
ReplyDeleteKristin your willingness to even hold this contest and offer you and your team's talents just shows was a wonderful person you are inside. Very few people would have taken their personal time to tally votes, create a blog, make multiple options for people and design this kind of gift. So sorry some people took advantage of that generosity and were rude. God Bless you! Good luck to all the brides.
