It Has Come To My Attention!!!!!

August 12, 2013

Please Share!

So, it has come to my attention that I NEGLECT my viewers!! That when you win something, I simply neglect you and I do NOT follow through!!!

running fiercly

Someone on my Facebook Fan Page let me know about this! They are SERIOUS too!! So, just to let you all know, that when you enter my giveaways, I will RUN with your prize!! I will NOT alert the sponsors and I will NOT get back to you if you try to contact me in various ways!!

Just thought I would let you all know!! WHOOOSH! Someone REALLY needs to pull up their big girl panties on my Facebook Fan page!!!

Have I ever let YOU down on not coming through with a prize? Please, for the love of God, let me know!!!!!

    Keep on doing what you do and forget the weirdos. You are doing a great job. Some people are just rude.

    It makes me really mad that someone would be that rude, especially to a blogger I really like!!!

    Kim, you can’t please EVERYONE all of the time. Seems as if no matter how hard you try at something, there will always be someone not completely satisfied. I’m pretty new at doing giveaways, I stopped and try to get back to it when I have time. It’s something fun to do and sometimes you win something fun!! When I won from your blog before, my stuff came lickety split. That goes to show you that you were very fast to respond to the sponsors when I submitted my info to you. Even if you did fail to get back to somebody, things slip through the cracks sometimes too. Nobody’s perfect, but from the looks of it, I’m not the only person that has been super satisfied with your blog and giveaways. This appears to be an isolated incident, so take the wonderful compliments we have thrown at you and and run with them… Hide THOSE in the closet too so you can pull them out again when you have people like THAT trying to bring you down!!!

    You are too funny!!! That is far from the truth!! I did have a sponsor who did not follow through with a prize, but you went out of your way several times trying to contact them & apologized each time I emailed you! For that, I am grateful and that is one of the reasons you one of my favorite bloggers!

          I never did, lol! I think the rep you worked with originally was no longer employed there & you were having to deal with someone else. It was not your fault at all, you went above & beyond trying to get it for me!

    Oh my, I would say people really surprise me sometimes but as a fellow blogger and a blogger who has done giveaways {and gotten this kind of a response a time or two} I am not really all that shocked. It just simply amazes me the levels some people go to for attention.

    So that’s where all my prizes have gone! I just knew I had to be winning more than I have. There must be a whole group of ninja bloggers that just steal all the prizes. I’m forming the Blog Prize Anti-Theft Organization to combat this serious crime!

    I think some people need to get a life. I run giveaways and guess what? I don’t receive those items! I don’t know any bloggers who physically have those prizes – it’s not like we get to keep them if the winner doesn’t receive them. Sheesh!

    You always go out of your way for your readers! Most of us should know that the sponsors do not always send the prize that they offer. We also should know that it is not the fault of the blog owner. I would never blame the blog owner for the sponsor not sending the prize which has happened to me. I always thank them for trying!

    I hope to have a blog as nice as your someday. You do a great job. People should read the rules and they would know that you are not responsible.

    LMAO! How funny is this! (And BTW, I know EXACTLY which closet you’re hiding the prizes in.)

    Seriously , don’t let this bother you. I myself have not received a prize from a blog, and I KNOW the blogger is trying to get the sponsor to come through. So I’ll wait a week more (been already 3 weeks)….then start hound to the SPONSOR’S FB page! (Say, you don’t have my prize in that closet, do you???)

    (((HUGS))
    Love the blog!

    Hilarious! You have always been fantastic every time I have ever won anything and anyone who enters should realize that its not down to the blog owner to fulfill the prize let alone the fact it can take months to receive items sometimes. To run a blog I am convinced you need the patience of a saint sometimes 😉

    Don’t let one person bother you Kim. Try to think of all your loyal readers who take the time to thank you for all your hard work, for offering great content, and for spending the extra time to host fun giveaways for them.

    Some people crack me up. They are not entitled to a prize. You do your best and can not control what the sponsor does. At least you can see the humor in it.

    Breathe, Mama!

    Don’t let one moment out of all of these years of being a successful blogger get to you; don’t let the FB drama escalate to where you can’t control what’s going on. YOU know you are ethical and ALL of the people who legitimately follow your blog and have entered your giveaways know this. Don’t let this one person take up any more of your time or emotion.

    Don’t sweat it. Most don’t realize that when we run a giveaway, we are doing nothing but running the giveaway. The prize offered is not ever in our possession. And sometimes things happen and prizes don’t get sent.

    But to call out someone on Facebook about a prize a winner never got when they are not even the actual winner, well that is a new kind of weird.

    Kim, sometimes sponsors don’t follow through, but the blogger shouldn’t be yelled at for it. I’ve had bloggers get mad at me too, but sometimes when I told them it was out of my hands, they phoned the sponsor themselves and later emailed me to say they finally got their prize.

    Seriously, some people out there take contests WAY too seriously though. If it’s a car, that’s a different story. But like a $40 bra? hmmm… lol

    Don’t let it get to you Kim!
