BritMums Live 2015: your help required!

Last year I was invited to present a session on “The Dos and Don’ts of Blog Giveaways” at BritMums Live, the UK’s biggest two-day social media conference and blogger event. BritMums received lots of positive feedback about the session, and I’m delighted to be presenting again at the 2015 event. At 9.30am on Saturday 20th June I’ll be hosting an updated session called “Prize promotions: everything you need to know”.

Like last year, I’ll be offering advice to bloggers on how to run giveaways fairly and efficiently. I’ll be covering…

  • setting up your prize draw or competition – prizes, objectives & formats
  • the importance of terms and conditions
  • the CAP Code & ASA
  • promoting your giveaway
  • problems with prizes, PRs and entrants

I’ll keep my session compact this year to allow time for a Q&A!

I know that lots of my readers have strong opinions about blog giveaways, which is why I’d like your feedback to help me with my presentation. I’ve set up two simple anonymous Google surveys that will take a few minutes to complete, and your input is really appreciated. If you’re a blogger who also enters comps, you may want to complete both if you have time!

Your experiences will help me put together a presentation and document which I hope will help blog giveaways run more smoothly – thank you very much, and I hope to see some of you at BritMums Live!

    I wanted to go to this, having just looked at the tickets and the fact that you have to be in trade or a blogger, I will leave it to the ones who know how 🙂

    • I’ll keep an eye out for competitions to win tickets for you! Would you like to start a blog?

        Hmm I am not sure what I would have to say, as there are so many out there now, plus I think I will be looking to see what future interactive media for all, will be apart from blogs/vlogs.

    All filled in my lovely! Great idea to gather feedback from bloggers/compers. You are one resourceful lady. Looking forward to seeing you at BritMums Live.

    • Thanks Mel – it’s been lovely to see your creative comps this year, makes a change from all the Rafflecopters!

        I would never have taken the leap without your help, Di! You are the Comping Queen (I now have ‘Dancing Queen’ stuck in my head… damn you, Abba!)

  8. Done both will the results be made available on your blog too after Britmums?

    Although I have a blog, I have so few followers, it hardly seems worth running a giveaway! I realise I might get more followers if I ran one, but not sure… after all, it is a blog about the dogs, mainly!
