Have a Handmade Business? – Holiday Gift Guide on MHA

Holiday Gift Guide

Whether you like it or not, the holidays will be upon us before you know it!  I, for one, can hardly wait for the moment.  I shop months in advance and can proudly say that I have already completed shopping for 3 of my family members.

And if you are like me, you like to shop for that perfect gift to tell those you love just how you feel about them.

This year, in an effort to help out my friends and fans with handmade shops and businesses, I am going to be producing a holiday gift guide here on MHA.

From now until the end of September, I will be promoting the gift guide and looking for those of you with handmade shops that want to tell the world what you have to offer to participate.  Throughout the months of October, November, December and January, I will have dedicated space on my sidebar to showcase 150X150 buttons for each handmade shop that chooses to participate.  I will also have a board on Pinterest where I will be pinning some of my favorites that these shops have to offer.

For $20, you can get your button placed on my sidebar for those 4 months.  And for $30, I will place your button and write up a sponsorship spotlight post on your shop.  This is a great way to get the word out on your business, as well as offer a giveaway of your products if you like.

If you are interested and would like to be included, please email me at mommyhead {at} mommyheadadventures {dot} com and we will get the ball rolling.

I look forward to working with you this holiday season.
