Is it possible to reach 1,000 Facebook fans (or “likes”)?? Maybe I’m shooting for the moon here, but I thought it would be fun to try. I’m just a little store, but I don’t use my Facebook page strictly for advertising. In fact, I try to keep the advertising down to 10% of the information I share there. I use it to share links that I find informative (about beauty, fashion, green living, body image, etc.), and to share these blog posts. So can we do it? I’m going to try, but I need your help!
As a thank you to those of you who suggest me to your friends, I’m going to be giving away a lot of cool items. I plan on doing FIVE giveaways in total. I’m not sure how I’ll spread them out – it depends on how fast people come on board. Sometimes Facebook fan suggestions can spread like wildfire, and someone can end up with 500 fans in one day. And sometimes, the fire goes out really fast! 
I’m not even at 500 yet, so I’ll do at least one giveaway at the point, maybe two. Then I’ll save the last three for the 1,000 mark.
Some of the prizes I’ll be giving away:
::BareEscentuals sample mineral veil and lip gloss (not the super greenest makeup, but it’s the one I use when I wear makeup)
Those are just the first three. I have at least two more in the works, and may even end up with more than five items to give away!* I will be sure to post pictures of the prizes this or next week.
All you have to do is suggest my Facebook page to your friends, and urge them to pass it along – especially to people interested in organic beauty and green living.
As for 5 Seed, I have many plans in the works. I’ve taken the last month to think about where I want to direct my energies, and I’m working on doing some new designs for the blog and shop, as well as new products. I am also thinking of expanding a bit outside the beauty product venue, but I’m still thinking about that.
Thanks for all your help with this! I’ll keep you all posted via Facebook on our growing numbers and will post winners there as we reach the goal numbers (500, and maybe…1,000!).
*Only North Americans are eligible for the giveaways, and I’m sorry to exclude anyone else, but please understand. Sending out five (or more) packages is a large expense, and sending them overseas would be more than I can afford.
Hey Y! I sent out invites to a bunch a friends. I wish it would’ve let me post a note with the invitation. Since it didn’t I wrote on your page. I love all of the 5Seed stuff I ordered (and received for free). Keep it up!
Thank you, Heather! Hugs!
I would love to join you but I’m still a Facebook hold out so know I love your company and all of you wonderful posts and you would definitely be one of my favorites. Good luck, I know you’ll hit 1000
Thanks, Lisa! You are spared the addiction of Facebook – bravo!
Thanks for your support!
yay I’m very excited to hear about your new steps for 5Seed!!
Within minutes of posting the link on my wall, one of my friends told me she placed an order and it was an awesome find! Looks like your products sell themselves once people find them
Thanks, Callah – glad you like the design! One day I will learn how to fix those annoying little pixelations around the images! And yes, I got the order and am so excited!! Tell your friend thank you so much!
