Treasure
Hunt: Participation in the
Mommy Chats Holiday
Hoopla Treasure Hunt, which will send
participants to your site to scour for
the answer to the clue they read in rotation in the Mommy Chats chat room. One clue will
be presented per vendor, and will send participants
in search of a product on your website to answer
that clue. These clues are done by the Webmama...vendors
do not have to do this, I will do it for you.

Ongoing
Cookie
Hunt: Participation in the
Mommy Chats Holiday
Hoopla Cookie Hunt, which will send
participants to your site to scour for
Christmas cookie graphics on your site (requires you
to "hide" the cookies by placing html code on your
site. There will be 8 cookies you can hide...you
choose how many you would like to hide on your
site).
-
Shopping
Chat: 2 full hours in your own
Hoopla Chat room on each Saturday during the Hoopla
for our "Hoopla
Shopping Day." Chat with potential customers
and share your passion for your business and your
products! This is a great time for
some games and prize giveaways! (These would be
extra giveaways that you would entirely handle, and
are fully optional). And a chance to offer discounts
and specials to those that shop with you during your
time each week. There's also the wonderful potential
to make extra sales from people that are shopping
other vendor's rooms and stumble upon yours!
-
Game
Chat/Prize Giveaways: Hosted by Mommy Chats
staff, this is a fun way to mingle with potential
customers as they browse your website and compete to
win prizes! The hostess will send chatters on a
trivia hunt to your website to answer questions that
have been pulled from your pages, lead chatters in a
game of "Name That Christmas Song," "Unscramble the
Holiday Words," "BINGO" and more! If you are present
at this game chat, your site is more likely to be
used for the games, as you are on hand to answer any
questions and promote products...MORE traffic and
potential sales for you!
-
Your business name and link will be
on the Mommy Chats Homepage for the duration of the
Hoopla.
-
Your business name, information and
graphics will be in the
Mommy Chats
Mommy Biz Directory, in the Holiday Hoopla
category section which people will be sent to for
the duration of the Hoopla. Your listing goes live
from the moment you pay and will remain up until the
next year's Hoopla.

will be listed on the
Hoopla Prize Patch Gallery, which will contain your
business name and link. (And will give visitors a
taste of what your business has to offer!)

fantastic
event as a vendor?
-

Submit your info via the biz directory:
CLICK HERE (will open in a
new window, so you don't lose your place.)
PLEASE NOTE: If you are not yet registered with the
Mommy Chats' Mommy Biz Directory, you will need to
create an account first. If you already have a

and then add a listing to your account. (Please do

-
Step 2:
After pressing submit at the completion of
the form, you will be taken to pay for your vendor
fee via Paypal...pay your $15 fee and PLEASE MAKE
SURE TO CLICK BACK TO THE DIRECTORY VIA PAYPAL,
otherwise it doesn't register your payment with the
directory so it doesn't know to make your listing go
live. (Entries
without payment will be notified for payment
ONCE...if you do not respond within 2 days, your
entry will be deleted.) Please note: This fee is
NONREFUNDABLE.
-
Step 3:
After submitting your
payment, you will receive an email from me
confirming your submission, payment, and giving you
the code you need to participate in the event.
Follow the instructions in this email carefully.
-
Step 4:
While waiting for the email from me, please visit the
Mommy Chats Gallery, create an account and submit your pics
and info on the prizes you are
donating. (NOTE: If you made an account last year,
it will not work as the gallery had to be recreated
when we moved servers and all info was lost). Complete info on what info to include with
the pics is in each album description. NOTE: Do
NOT create an album, just put the pics in the
appropriate, already existing album. You will click
"upload file" in the upper right menu and after you
upload the file, it will give you the option to add
to an existing album. Please keep
holiday gift-giving in mind when choosing your
donations. Also remember that the products you
donate are representative of your company as a
whole, and the more tantalizing the products, the
more likely you will gain a repeat customer! :)
-
Step 5:
Wait to hear from me about prize winners and make
sure you ship off the items as soon as you have a
mailing address for the winner.
-
Step 6: VERY IMPORTANT: Mark on
your calendar the parts of the Hoopla you need
