Contest: Make a Wish for Someone Else this Holiday Season (and the Power of Blogger Outreach)

by

This is a sponsored post by Sears but the thoughts within are mine and mine alone.

As a blogger, you have the potential to reach a tremendous audience. As an individual, perhaps a company or an entrepreneur who is looking to spread the word about a new product launch, you have the potential to keep marketing costs down by reaching out to bloggers and having them talk about your product. One of the best ways to achieve this goal is through blogger outreach, which typically includes more than just sending out your press release: give the blogger the opportunity to try your product. Send them your book. Or your beanbag chair. Or give them full download rights to your new software product without restrictions.

You can do something else entirely. As part of the Don’t Just Give a Gift, Grant a Wish campaign by the Sears department store, I had the opportunity to participate in a shopping spree to help me or someone else realize our dreams. The idea behind this initiative was that I was given a $500 Sears gift card to “Grant a Wish” for myself, a loved one, or charity. At the same time, I was to photograph my experience in the store.

At first, I had no idea what to do. I was recently moved by “The Secret Millionaire” and wanted to realize the dreams of someone who may not be able to buy anything at all — so I decided to make sure my own purchases included gifts for young children.? After walking up and down the halls of the whole department store, my husband and I finally settled on gathering a shopping cart full of toys that we will end up donating to cancer-stricken children just in time for the holidays.

I also found myself being fascinated by the number of tools available for the DIY (do-it yourself) enthusiast.? I ended up buying a much needed tool that will hopefully allow me to remove stripped screws so that I can free up a trapped IDE hard drive in an external case.? Seriously — Sears has aisles upon aisles of drills, drill bits, and other thingamajigs that I wouldn’t even know how to use.

Still, though, I’m happy that I was able to use this experience to give to those less fortunate.? It’s such a perfect time to consider gift giving (and wish-wishing) for those who you may not know.? I’m sure it will put a smile on someone else’s face.

Giving Back, Contest Style

Do you want to make a wish for a special someone in your family or perhaps a few people at once? With IZEA’s help, you can also help realize the dream of someone you love or care about. Check out three possible three gift packages that I’ve crafted to make that happen:

    Hi Tamar! I’d love to win the camping kit. Aside from loving the great outdoors and attempting to work to protect it, I don’t really get to go outside as much as I’d like. This is a wonderful contest and I wish you the best of luck!

    I am on unemployment and this prize would help me to give nice gifts for my family. The “family Fun” package would cover just about everyone on my Christmas list. My fingers are crossed for this awesome win!!

  45. says: KC

    My mom and godmother more than deserve the “Pamper Herself Spa Relaxation Package” for all of the work they do for our family and those beyond (both involved in charity work).

    Either way, wonderful contest, lovely idea, and hope you are yours have an amazing holiday.

    Hi Tamar,

    What a really nice thing you’re doing and (with Sears) sponsoring. It absolutely defines the meaning of the holidays.

    In that spirit, I’ll opt for the “Pamper Herself Spa Relaxation Package” on the improbable chance I win, most of it to follow your example and be donated.

  96. says: Sheila H

    Wow, what a great thing your doing! I would love to win the family fun package, would make a lot of people happy this Christmas!

    I would like to win the camping package. We love to go camping and lost most of our camping equipment to Hurricane katrina. This would be a dream come true. Good luck everyone!

    Love that you’re including charity. It’s like IZEA meets SocialVibe. Also enjoying that so many “legit” bloggers are participating with IZEA, makes the whole mob mentality issue with Brogan a non starter. Kudos for sticking your head out for something you believe in!

    Oh yeah, and if I win, I want the Famiy Fun Pacakge. So much stuff I didn’t know I wanted until I saw it on your list!

    I would love to win the Family Fun package for my hubby.

    I had a present for him in lay away but the expenses related to our move have left me unable to pay it out and now there is nothing for either of us for Christmas.

    I have more than enough in life and I don’t need anything but my heart is breaking not being able to give him anything. He says it’s okay but it still bothers me.

    Thanks!

She works 6 days a week for about 18 hours a day and surely needs it! She owns and takes care of an elderly home care! She really deserves something like this!

    Wow this is really cool. I would love to win the Pamper Herself package for my girlfriend. She really deserves it because she uses every minute of her time productively. She’s keeping up a 3.87 GPA at Rutgers business school. Does a full day Friday interning at Merrill Lynch. Is an officer of 2 clubs that raise money for breast cancer (Bead the Cure and Bake the Cure). Studies hard every day. Calls her parents and grandparents daily. Interns at multiple companies all summer long. Is a very supportive daughter, granddaughter, friend, classmate, and especially girlfriend.

    I do the best that I can every single day to show her that I appreciate her, but being a student myself I can’t splurge on totally awesome stuff like the Pamper Herself Spa package. I can’t think of a person who deserves this more than her and my wish is that she gets it.

    Thanks, hope this contest goes well Tamar!

    It would be nice to receive a gift for whatever they are willing to give. They all sound great. A nice gesture to give to someone you love. Maybe we can get the $500 gift certificate from Sears, as our TV is broken.

    My wife is basically the queen of karaoke. Her specialty is Pat Benatar’s “Hit Me With Your Best Shot” and she truly does make the bar come alive. Not in the annoying way that most good singers would, but just in a subtle way, and then she goes and downs her Coors Light. I want to set up the Family Fun Package so badly I can taste it!

    Great post Tamar. I would chose the family fun package. Please enter me to win.

    This would be given out to a charity or family in need. I was just sent this and still need time to check where and who we would send it to. More than likely we would personally deliver the package to a family that we chose through an organization, or we would donate different items to different families in need in the name of Sears, and the others involved. Either way, it will all be donated of course.

    Thank you for the opportunity. And good luck to everyone!!

    I’m here to let you know that Silent Jay really wants the Pamper Herself package. He’s just too afraid to admit it publicly

    As for me, I like the Family Fun Package. Sounds awesome.

  493. says: Doug Gebhardt

    What an outstanding contest! I’d love to win any of those packages AND have it donated to United Way, or Salvation Army or any woman’s shelter. As long as it goes to somewhere that can be put to good use by someone who otherwise wouldn’t be able to have these things.

  494. says: Darrell Long

    I think this is an awesome idea and I’m glad that you were able to be involved in this Tamar, that being said I think many where i am at would value the The Family Fun Package over the other two, so thats what ill choose.

    The Family Fun Package

    i would give this to my family due to all the lay offs and hardship we are currently experiencing. Would take our minds off the every day hubbub!

  503. says: PJ

    Hey Tamar great job in selecting toys and donating them to charity. As much as we like to receive during this holiday it feels even greater giving.

    If I am chosen I would select The Family Fun Package.

    Best of Luck!

  505. says: Paul Teitelman

    This is a really great idea and an awesome example of how one can leverage a community’s power together for a great cause!

    I think this is such a great idea! At my job we helped a coworker recently sponsor a needy family. It was a single mom and her 14 year old daughter. For the daughter I bought paint brushes, a sketch journal and a bunch of crafting supplies that were on her wish list. It felt great to fulfill someone’s holiday wish who was more needy than I. Keep up the good work!

    I’d love to win the camping package. Our family does a fair amount of camping with my son’s cub scout pack, and our little 3-person dome tent is proving to be a bit small for two adults and a rapidly-growing boy. The extra space would be great!

    I Love the secret millionare as well. The whole idea of giving to those less fortunate even if you may not be a millionare can teach your family valuable lessons.
    I have tried to teach my children that lesson. I have 3 kids , two special needs fairly high needs. But, there is always someone worse off than you. So, I have tried to teach them not to let it hold them back, and to not let it label them.

    I live by the pay it forward philosphy. I think that it takes a village to raise a child, and you cant idly sit by and watch everyone suffer. So, to share with others is noble.

    I would choose the family camping kit. We like to spend time together as a family and camp as much as possible.
    thank you for reading and Merry Christmas

    I really love what you have done. We are in the same kind of sentiments in our house as well. This year I cannot afford to give anyone, including my own kids things. I feel really bad about it. I would love to get the family package so I could give it to my Mom and Dad and younger brothers and sisters. It truly is better to give than receive, and I would be so happy to do this for them. Good luck to everyone.

  643. says: LeAndrew Taylor

    All three are ‘awesome’ prize packs, but I think I’ll go with the ‘Family Fun’ package, because there’s nothing more important to me than spending quality time with my family! And the great thing about the ‘Family Fun’ package is that it’s loaded with games and activities that can be enjoyed by each member of my family! Thanks for the ‘awesome’ giveaway and Happy Holidays!

    I would take the family fun package, I really don’t know how to camp and would be remiss to spend my site out in the woods with nary an understanding of how to do any of that camping stuff.

    I would opt for the Family Fun Package or The Pamper Herself Spa (since no one seems interested in it). My family doesn’t celebrate Christmas, not being Christian nor religious and all – fortunately my birthday and a few others in my family falls in the same week as Christmas – so I’ve never felt left out. I really like the atmosphere of Christmas, but this year it’s a little jaded because of the whole economic recession scare.

    Anyways if I win this, and even if I don’t, I’m going to make a donation at the local SPCA (with all the cost cutting, animals really need your donations – while everyone is giving to human charities, people sometimes forget about the animals – who need money and donations of food, toys, and basically supplies. It makes a huge difference just donating some food or a clean blanket)

    Number 2, the Camping Package. As my dad gets closer to retirement, I know he’ll want to go camping more. It’d be a great way to give him time with his buddies and give mom a few days to herself.

    Hi Tamar! Wow! You have truly put together 3 spectacular packages! You obviously put a lot of thought and heart into creating each one and they are fantastic! Of course as a woman my first thought is to choose the Pamper Herself Spa Relaxation Package but then when I think about my 3 young children I say I should go with the Family Fun Package because the kids always come first. So, having said that, my choice is the Family Fun Package. I know my children would have so much fun with this and it is something the entire family can use and enjoy together! I know we can build so many wonderful moments together with the items in this package and document those memories with the wonderful camera!

    As a foster parent the two Timex watches my husband bought me over the years were taken by shelter care children that were placed with us at various times. We had many kids it was not their fault as many came out of horrendous abusive homes of horrer and taking things that did not belong was a way of survival. They had never been taught any different.I would love The Pamper Herself Spa Relaxtion package as i would totally adore the watch.I have never been able to afford a nice watch due to being the parents of many throw away kids. Their needs came first, took all our earnings.I would love the watch.A treat for myself.

    Family Fun Package! My mom just recovered from cancer and since then she’s been begging us to come visit – she’d really like to see me and her grandson. So this year, we’re visiting on Christmas -and its so expensive for the tickets and we buy him a ticket that that’s everyone’s gift – our visit. This would allow me to give my son and my husband some gifts! And many are whole family gifts like the basketball center and the kareoke! Great packages.

  1010. says: Greg B

    I would choose the Camping Package. We camp alot and our sleep bags are due for a replacing. please choose us!!

    Thanks for sponsoring this giveaway! It’s hard to choose, but I love the sound of the Family Fun package – I definitely need a new camera and all the other delightful goodies in this. The foot massager would be a dream come true.

  1018. says: Turner

    I would love to win the Family Fun Package for my brothers family. They struggle everyday to make it and that package would be awesome for them. They have a little boy and I was just thinking the other day how sad they don’t even have pictures of the little one to show him later in life how he looked as a child. This definitely would make it a wonderful Christmas for them.

  1024. says: Kristi Gilleland

    I’d love the family fun package – I too, have my eyes set on that camera, but we would enjoy it all! What a nice contest – thank you!

    The family fun package sounds amazing — especially for the karaoke machine, since my family and I recently became addicted to it and would love to do it more at parties and gatherings at home. Thanks!!

  1053. says: David Irwin

    I would get the 1/4 ct. tw.* Diamond Earrings
    Sears item# 04429685000 Mfr. model# 83526D/10 for my wife. She’d go nuts for them. I am totally disabled and could not ever afford to buy something like that so she’d never suspect she was getting them for her birthday on January 23rd.
