Win $500 from Marvin’s Organic Gardens
Today is the day! The big day! The day we announce how you can WIN $500 towards a landscape job from Marvin’s Organic Gardens!
We know that it is cold outside – and today, there is even snow on the ground. But think about April and May – when the sun is out and the ground is starting to get warm. New growth is showing up all around you. Your neighbors are in their yards preparing their beds and mowing their lawns. WAIT! You take a look around your yard and it is NOT looking like what you want it to look at. Actually – you have been looking at it this way for a few years but haven’t done anything about it. You are just so busy that you haven’t had time – and even if you did have the time, you would have no idea about how to even start.
Well, before you just start tearing things out of your yard and pouring gravel over all your grass so you don’t have to worry about it anymore, Marvin’s Organic Gardens wants to help you – by giving away $500 to one lucky Facebook Fan, to use towards their landscaping job this Spring. That’s right – $500 to start the makeover in your yard.
All you have to do to be entered to win is become a Fan of Marvin’s Organic Gardens on Facebook. Here’s the deal though – we MUST have 650 Fans by January 15th, 2010 in order to give away the prize – and we need your help to do this. Tell your friends, your family, your co-workers to become Fans of Marvin’s Organic Gardens on Facebook. The easiest way to do this is by going to the Marvin’s Organic Gardens page on Facebook and clicking on the “Suggest To Friends” button on the top left of your screen (right under our logo). Then, you can select everyone you want to send a suggestion to.
Want another way to be entered to win? Leave a comment on our blog and we will enter your name in to the drawing again! If you leave 5 comments, we will enter your name 5 more times! You still have to be a Facebook fan, but this gives you additional chances to win that $500!
Here are the rules:
1. Promotion is running from December 21st through January 31st.
2. In order for us to give away this prize, we MUST have AT LEAST 650 fans by January 31st, 2010!
3. You MUST be a fan of Marvin’s Organic Gardens on Facebook to be entered to win.
