Tuesday MEGA *RTS* Sale Events

Welcome!  As some of you may know, and others are learning about for the first time, we work with a very close knit group of small shop owners.  Every Tuesday we create an entire SALE album on Facebook for fans, photographers, friends, moms, aunts, grandmas, YOU to browse through and shop from.  All of these items are handmade from our select small shop owners.
Our weekly sales happen every week on Tuesdays at 2pm EST (or 11am PST).  Don't want to miss out on a sale?  Click the *LIKE* button on our facebook page to see us in your newsfeed every week.  You can *LIKE* our page HERE.  It is quite simple to shop our online mega sales.  All you need is a verified paypal account.  If you have not signed up for paypal you can do so HERE.  Once you have a paypal account, all you'll need to do is leave a comment on the picture of what you wish to purchase.  Make the comment something like "SOLD to me!" and include your paypal e-mail address so that the small shop owner can submit an invoice for you to pay.  Once payment has been received from you the small shop owner will ship your product out immediately.  See?  Easy as pie!!

Monday Announcement

   As you start poking around and gaining curiosity on what  our new website and blog will be about, let me fill you in on a few dates to remember.
   Beginning May 1st we will start arranging the first vendor & photographer review sessions.  We will arrange one session per week in which the selected vendor (freely) sends a prop item to a photographer.  The photographer has a maximum of three weeks to schedule a photo shoot, shoot the product, edit and return images to the vendor as well as one image to us here at Give Big. Shop Small.  The vendor will fill out a review on how well they thought the photographer was able to create images of their props.  The photographer will fill out a review on the quality of the prop and how easy it was to use in their session.  The client of the photographer will fill out a review on how well they enjoyed the photography session and how well they thought the photographer did as well as how much they liked the prop from the vendor.  Once the reviews have all been submitted the next week's "Featured Review" will publicly post the positive/constructive remarks from each of the 3 reviews for all of our followers to read.  The vendor and the photographer will receive beaucoup "face time" here on the blog as well as on Facebook, Pinterest, and Twitter.  (by the way, beaucoup means A LOT)
   There will be a vendor and photographer sign-up sheet that you can sign up under if you would like to be matched up for a "Feature Review".  These "Feature Reviews" do NOT cost you anything but your time.  All of our vendors and photographers should feel free to set up their own personal trades or sales outside of Give Big. Shop Small.; however, anything set up outside of our page will not get you included in any upcoming "Feature Reviews".  (just so that you are aware that any personal trading/selling outside of our match-ups is not considered part of a Feature Review).  Before signing up, please be sure that you will be able to schedule and shoot the item in the allotted time once your name is pulled up.  When you *do* sign up, please comment with what age groups you most commonly photoshoot as some of our vendors will also offer older child or even adult products.
   * We will begin accepting paid subscription to be included and featured in the vendor and photographer directory beginning May 6th.
   * The website and blog will officially launch June 1st.
   * The very first "Feature Review" will be published June 3rd. (Monday).
   * The very first mini-giveaway will launch June 3rd and end on June 10th.

We look forward to having you follow along on our ride through the Small Shop. world of fun and creativity and hopefully you'll find a new photographer (or two, or three) along the way that you just LOVE.
Thanks for stopping by!
