Winners and Donors Incentives!

Incentive time!  
Now, it's not much, but I'd like to up the ante by offering these free gifts in the hopes of motivating people to not just bid, but to spread the word about this auction to benefit the victims & families of the Boston Marathon bombings:

Winning bidders: 
  • For the highest bidder overall, I will personally send that person an exclusive, limited edition T-shirt I designed (see below) in honor of this event.  Should the highest item go over $1000, I'll send the winner an exclusive, limited edition journal AND the T-shirt.*
  • For the first 3 auctions that reach $500, I'll personally send the winning bidder(s) an exclusive, limited edition journal I designed for this event.*
Donors:
  • For the donor who brings in the most money, I'll send them the same limited edition t-shirt the winner will receive.  If their item goes above $1000, I'll send that donor a limited edition journal, too.*
  •  For any donor willing to match a winner's bid over $500, I'll send them an exclusive, limited edition journal.*

Awesome auction items, a tax-deductible donation AND free exclusive gifts? How can you not join the auction-bidding fun?!  SO GET OUT THERE AND PROMOTE THIS WONDERFUL EVENT! 

Clearly, I'm motivated and enthusiastic—and maybe a little hyper.  Okay, really hyper.  *Slows down on coffee*

And here is the big reveal of the limited edition items I lovingly created:



The phrase "Write WICKED HARD finish BOSTON STRONG" may not be grammatically correct, but, it is quintessentially Bostonian and I love it.  I came up with it earlier in the week and I'm super proud of it and how the items came out.  Below the "1" is the date the marathon took place.  I hope you like these as much as I do!

Stay tuned, as more incentives may come along!! And if there is enough interest in these exclusive items (email me at writestuff4Boston [AT] gmail [DOT] com with the subject "exclusives" if you are intested in owning one of your own), they may come up on the auction block as well to help the cause even further.

I'm really excited, and I hope you guys are, too.  <3


*Proof of donation for payment of winning item(s) to designated charity(s) must be provided then verified before winner/donor can receive gift(s).
