ArtFire to Award $100 Shopping Spree to Random Twitter Retweeter
ArtFire.com plans Twitter Contest to Support Members' Sale

TUCSON, AZ, July 11, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- ArtFire.com, the global handmade marketplace, will be holding a Twitter contest on July 15 to help promote the artisan-organized 12 Days of Christmas in July Sale. To enter, all users will need to do is retweet the Christmas in July message sent out the morning of July 15 from ArtFire's Twitter account, which will include information on the sale and a link to the sale page. At 11:59 pm EST ArtFire will randomly select three contestants and award them a $100 shopping spree to spend on Christmas in July sale items on the site.

Any Twitter user is welcome to enter in the contest by retweeting ArtFire's message. Contestants can only enter once, so all users involved will have an equal chance of winning. This contest will not only help spread the word about the sale, it will also help the sale be successful, as the shopping spree prizes can only be used on studios participating in the Christmas in July Sale. Contest winners will be able to select items in the Christmas in July Sale trend page and ArtFire will cover the costs up to $100. Since the sale only lasts for 12 days, winners will have to have their shopping completed by the end of the sale on July 26.

"We wanted to help promote our artisan's sale, and we felt using Twitter in this way was a perfect way to do so," said John Jacobs, CEO of ArtFire.com. "By holding this contest, we are ensuring that more people will learn about the Christmas in July sale and making sure that it's successful for the artisans involved."
