Remember how I said we were going to have a ticket giveaway posted on the site last week?
Well, let’s just say the end of my work week, coupled with site issues sort of blew that one out of the water…
BUT, it’s here today. Along with a few other important conference-related issues. Read on…
Queen Bee Market
When we launched SNAP! last spring, one of the elements I was most excited about was the involvement of The Queen Bee Market. Queen Bee is one of the premiere handmade markets in the Western United States and brought tremendous credibility to our event right from the beginning.
I have been anxious for Mique (have you seen her gorgeous new site?) to announce the opening of the application process for months. (Confession: I want to know who’s going to be there so that I can plan out my shopping experience in advance!) The day has finally arrived! She is accepting applications through January 31 for the limited number of spots at the SNAP! show.
One of the benefits of participating in Queen Bee is that each application is reviewed thoroughly to ensure that the product offerings and price points are varied. In addition, the show offers centralized check out – you can participate in the market and enjoy our conference!
The Queen Bee Market at SNAP! will be open to both conference attendees and the public Friday, April 20 from 7-9 p.m. for a SNAP! party and then on Saturday, April 21 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Conference Tickets
Just a reminder that the cost for a full conference ticket will be increasing this Friday, Jan. 20. Please take advantage of the lower price this week!

Giveaway
We are thrilled to be offering our most ardent supporters the chance to win one all inclusive ticket to SNAP!
This giveaway is the first of the three 2012 giveaways SNAP! will be hosting prior to the conference.
Ready to roll? Here are the rules:

Starting Saturday, January 21, we will open the linky to public voting. Voting will close on Friday, January 27.
The winner of the ticket will be selected at random from the top three vote earners, plus one wildcard selected at random.
There are no extra votes for this giveaway, however you’re encouraged to share them on Twitter and Facebook.
If you tag SNAP! in your tweet and/or on FaceBook you will receive the additional exposure.

Stacie, On Saturday when public voting opens people will be able to come over to your link and vote right on the page! No comments necessary. Easy peasy.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions.
xoxo
Tauni
oh! okay! thanks for explaining

I noticed that after I vote (and after my friends vote) it just reloads the page, and it still says that there’s one vote left. Are the votes happening properly? Thanks!
P.S. I really hope I win–I could use the good news/luck
Thanks for your question. Votes are piling up on the back end…There is just one vote per ip address, so even if people vote twice it is only counted once.
I will take a closer look and see if I can get it to change when the page is refreshed.
This is happening to me to. I’m trying to vote for my Sister’s Suitcase!
Hi what happened to the numbers under the link? People were saying they came to vote and there’s nothing to click on..:(
Lina @fancy frugal life
Lina, the system will only recognize one vote per IP address. Once the vote has been cast, the ability to vote disappears. This is to prevent one person from sitting at the computer and voting over and over…
Thanks,
Tauni
Ok I get it now. Once a vote is cast no number appears. Because this morning that wasn’t the case. Thanks so much for the clarification
Lina
Lina, I think you must have logged on right when I was working on the site
There was a super brief period where I was doing some programming and the numbers were showing. Oops!

Hi Tauni!
Is there a way for us to see how many votes we have so far and from whom if possible?
Sorry. Voters are not required to log-in so there is no way to tell who has voted. I will not be posting who’s ahead, but about half the entries have either the same entries, or are within one vote.
Thanks,
Tauni
ahhh tauni you’re killing me over here! haha i was stalking the vote count like a hawk and thought something went wrong with my computer. glad to know it’s just hidden now .. jan 27th can’t come soon enough
LOL. I didn’t realize you girls were watching it so closely! I should have guessed. I was actually doing some work on the site, which was causing it to show the numbers…You do have some very loyal friends though!
xoxo
haha it’s okay – i can’t believe voting ends tomorrow – this week flew by.
& i’m super lucky – they are all pretty awesome!
