I made these cards for a giveaway on Instagram. You can also watch a video with these cards.

I created a simple spreadsheet of my giveaway posts. The purpose of my giveaways is twofold - to clear out products I don’t use and to increase my Instagram follower count. On the question of if giveaways increase follower counts, I can definitely say yet. My follower count increased on average by 3.78 with each giveaway. The best one increased the count by 15. Given that I currently have 697 followers, that’s significant.

This giveaway celebrates that I’ve reached 500 followers on Instagram. Super happy about that!

My next craft fair is at Fairwood Explorer Elementary School here in Sunnyvale on Saturday.

I’ve started my giveaways. Here’s the first announcement post. You have until Sunday to comment to win.

Stay tuned to find out what I’m going to do with the destash items. It may involve a giveaway or two…
