Oh.. the Annoyance of Not Knowing
Boo, today’s giveaway list was a bit limited…
I went through a ton of giveaways today and found that the majority of them didn’t indicate anything about where they were open to… So I just assumed that they weren’t open worldwide and ignored them. Wouldn’t it be such a bummer to win one of those giveaways and then have the prize be taken away from you?? Better safe than sorry, I say.. so those giveaways are put in my ignore bin.
Unfortunately, I don’t have the time to e-mail each giveaway host separately and ask them if they’re open to international participants… I’ve done it in the past, quite constantly actually but there comes a point where I can’t send 25 e-mails in one day, keep track of the responses, and then post relevant giveaways. I’ve decided to only do that when the giveaway is really great.
It’s such a shame because it means that they lose out on potential viewers/followers/clients and of course, we miss out on participating!
Let’s hope that we can show them a strong presence and convince them to start opening up their giveaways worldwide or at least letting us know up-front whether its relevant to us. 😉
Here’s hoping!
xxoo,

You’re very welcome! I completely feel you on the whole wasting your time thing.. before I had this site I also entered giveaways being unsure of whether or not I was eligible.
I’ll post more giveaways tomorrow! (class reunion tonight!)
xxoo,

Thanks for all your job! Very nice blog!
Thanks for posting and checking to see who they are open to. I wish they’d post it as well. Sometime I enter and I’m probably just wasting my time.
