I really do love you...
... and here's the proof! I'm giving away a free spot in this years UK Handmade Valentines Day Showcase, worth £10! (thank you UK Handmade!)
If you missed the submission deadline last month and you would like a chance to win some absolutely 100% free, advertising for your Valentines day goods, read on as the deadline is tomorrow at 6pm! No time to waste and it's very easy to enter :)
UK Handmade Valentines Day Gift Showcase
The showcase is a Valentines day theme, so you need to have something relevant to contribute, have a scan through your current listings as you'll need to submit the item link asap if you are chosen as the winner tomorrow night - as per usual I've left this until the 11th hour, the showcase goes live on Monday the 9th January!
If you don't have anything relevant, why not tell a friend that does, they'll love you for it!
Take a look at past showcases here - Craft Showcase, they look great and are very easy for potential customers (and press) to browse through. They can just click directly through to your shop if they like what they see.
