Make is holding a new contest for the Makers Market, enter to win some free stuff. Have a look at picture number 3 🙂 that is none other than the Electronic Coaster Set from our Hacked Gadgets Market! Since the coasters only cost $9.99 and the winning item can be worth up to $500, I think this will be detrimental to the lower priced items getting any votes though.
“Been lusting after something in Makers Market, but can’t quite justify the expense? Enter our tweet-it-to-win-it contest and you just might get it for free! Here’s how to enter:
- Look around Makers Market and pick out your favorite product of value $500 US or less. You can pick a more expensive product, in which case, if you win, the first $500 is on us.
- If you’re not already following the Makers Market Twitter feed, do so by visiting this link or by tweeting “follow @themakersmarket”. Contest winners will be notified using Twitter’s “direct message” feature, and if you’re not following us, we can’t message you, and you can’t win.
- Tweet the URL of your favorite product, and the URL of the contest landing page (http://bit.ly/9p97ad), and make sure you include “@themakersmarket” so we receive your tweet. We recommend cutting and pasting the following text into your twitter window…
Tweet your favorite item @themakersmarket to win it! http://bit.ly/9p97ad
Mine is:…followed by the URL of your favorite product. You will probably need to use a URL shortener to make it all fit into a tweet’s 140 characters. We find bit.ly works well.
Eleven winners will be selected randomly from among tweets received before 11:59 p.m. PDT on July 15, 2010. One first-place winner will receive their tweeted choice of products from among those for sale on Makers Market having value of $500 US or less. If your favorite product costs more than $500, the first $500 is on us. Ten runners-up will receive $25 toward their choice of products from among those for sale on Makers Market.
Good luck and happy tweeting! Please see the contest landing page for more details, and official rules.”
