I won!

Recommended Posts

Part of my business is making custom pin-back buttons using equipment from Badge-A-Minit.

 

Each month they have a Hot Button contest and people submit their button designs for a chance to win prizes.  One of my designs was selected as the Hot Button of the Month for May 2014.

This is the 2nd time I've won the big prize, and I once won a runner-up prize.  The first two times I won, I held on to my gift certificate for when I "really needed it" and ended up letting them both expire, so this time I had it spent within an hour of receiving it, wasn't going to waste it again!  ;D

 

The trick to winning, I've found, is to include a good story about how the buttons are an inexpensive marketing tool and easy to sell to people - each time I've won, the design itself wasn't anything special but had a good story with it - some of the more elaborate designs that didn't have a good story didn't even get recognized...

Wow, the items I used my $100 on came with free shipping, so I wasn't expecting to get them any time soon, but they already showed up!  I ordered their nice manual circle cutter and some extra blades and their button design software and they shipped it all USPS Priority Mail! Woohoo!  Now I can try out the circle cutter at the flea market this weekend!
