A Note About Giveaways

 
As some of y’all might’ve noticed, rafflecopter is going out so I’ve been trying new giveaway options this past month. It’s been trial and error with a few (like GiveawayTools that still hasn’t messaged me back 2 months later), I had to completely redesign my website twice due to some glitching out from the new giveaways and I thought I had things settled with “Uplup”, but they just informed me that they will no longer be doing giveaways and that I cannot make any more new giveaways with them. So uh yeah. Like I needed that after everything 😑
SOoooo, I am now with Gleam, which is what some other tour companies use and they’ve been around a minute, so I assume they just have to be all good. I hope, as I’ve been reading a lot of complaints about the giveaways lately. (Which I am SO sorry to put y’all through.
All of the current giveaways with Uplup are acting all glitchy now and I’m unsure if new entrants can hop on, so I have recreated every single giveaway for every active tour. 
 
Now, things are gonna be tricky come drawing time, BUT all old entries will not be lost, I have the csv’s downloaded from Uplup and I’ll just have to combine the numbers from the new and old giveaways and draw a winner out of the combined pool. So please, rest assured, all entries from the old giveaways are NOT lost, if you’ve already entered the old giveaway, you do not have to enter the new one – but if you do, it’ll just give you extra entries in the end 🤗
Again, I’m very, very sorry for all of the inconveniences lately – things really should be sailing smooth now with Gleam – but if you do have an issue, please holler at me through email or even a comment (I do read them throughout the day) and I’ll do my best to fix things if needed!
 
Thank y’all for all your support!

  3. Good luck! I know the giveaway situation has been tricky with Rafflcopter ending. I had to do some test runs on different giveaway tools as well.

    Thank you so much. I can only imagine how frustrating it must be on your end. I appreciate your hard work and dedication to making your giveaways.

    I did not know that Rafflecopter was ending. I was wondering why all the giveaway widgets were changing. I can only imagine the frustration to get it changed and set up. Thanks for working so hard to get it done.
