But for one lucky Facebook liker, we're sending out a set completely free... with one little catch!

We've asked you to comment if you'd be happy to write a description for us on each fragrance that we can then publish to the website.  Lots of you said you would and your names have gone into the hat so to speak.

The randomly generated winner of the set is...

Drum rolls pleeeease...

Well done Jo, hope you're feeling wordy!

Random or Not?

Back in November, we announced that we'd use the Fan of the Week app in a fun way with a draw each month for £10 to spend on the website.  We'd take each weeks winning fan name, pop it in a virtual hat and present one lucky recipient with a £10 virtual voucher to spend on the website.

The Fan of the Week app automatically calculates who has interacted the most with our page over a 7 day period and posts the name of the person to the wall.  Whilst this may seem a little twee to some, we really do appreciate that people take the time to interact on our page and feel it's a fun cheerful way to say thank you.

As you may be aware, this was one of the many things that had to be put on hold after the fire at our business park.  Now I don't know about you, but I truly believe that we've talked about those events enough.  The Fan of the Week promotion was a bit of fun, so we will leave it at this and explain to our new friends who may not know; the competition was interrupted and now we're happily back in the swing of things we want to get the give away back on track.

Easy? You would think so. Now I must confess that I am no Facebook expert.  Less of an expert still on the (useful) many third party apps that provide a bit of colour and fun.  

Hurdle number one then.  How to retrieve the names of each week's fan?  Going back down the page posts right the way into history simply by clicking "more posts" at the bottom of the page seemed a bit ... well ... manual?  Surely the app would give up this information.  Sadly not... Let's hope it's a feature that's being built somewhere behind the scenes. 

After a bit of head scratching and some asking around, I clicked on Insights (on the left of the page for those of you who are page admins) 

Yipee!  Each and every post is listed here, along with useful statistical info.  Simply clicking on one reveals the whole post in a pop up box.  There!  Easy (When you know how. Note to self. Use the features on the page)

So now I have a nice spreadsheet containing a list.  There are dates and alongside each date is a person's name.  These have been divided into months.  So far, we have a complete record for November (5 entries) and December (4 entries) of the weekly fans as announced by the app.  January has 4 entries and this week will generate Fan of the Week number 5.  (Of course the number varies according to the length of the month)

Now all that we need do is randomly select a person's name from each month's list.

And this is where I am stumbling.

Call me what you will.

I cannot decide.

What is fair?

And by fair I mean truly random.

Oh yes. I will use a random number generator to select the winning name.  I can do this because I've assigned a number to each one.  I've simply numbered the weeks from 1 to 4 or 5 as appropriate and put that week's name alongside. Ah. There we have it. 

My question.  Should I also randomise the number assigned to the name?  That is possible I guess, if I use the generator for each name, assign that random number to that name and then use the random generator once again.

Have I lost the plot? What do you think?

Please do let me know, it seems my Sunday sanity might just be resting on this ...

Well we are very nearly there! Almost 1000 "Likes" on Facebook, thank you so much to everyone who makes the page what it is, we really value your support.

In the spirit of giving something back, we thought we'd hold a bit of a Prize draw :)

And what a prize we have!  A 6 month membership package to the All Inclusive version of the Tub Club. - Retail price £189.00

Back in January we began something called the Tub Club.  The idea behind it was to create a Craft club in your own home. 

Each month you receive a newsletter, free recipes, discounted ingredient offers and your very own kit delivered to your door, free of delivery charges of course.  Any extra orders that you place before the months kit is dispatched can also be included delivery free (subject to weight restrictions).  So even for established crafters, the Tub Club is of benefit.

A great way to learn new skills, save on postage and be inspired to create!  Examples of the free recipes that have been enjoyed to date include; Sugar Cube Scrubs, Essential Oil Lip Balms, Solid Lotion Bars and more.  Depending upon your choice of package, typical kits include two colour M&P soap, Shower Fizzers, Lavender & Chamomile Bath Bombs, Bath Creamers, Bath Melts... and much more - why not have a look at what is on offer?

View the Tub Club.

So, once again our thanks to you all for being wonderful supporters & friends.  Do please grab a ticket whilst you can - the draw takes place on the 15th July and full details can be found here

600 Facebook "likes" Give Away

We have so many lovely fans on Facebook; a great many of you share your stories and photos with us, post questions about ingredients/recipes and provide us with some great feedback.  It's wonderful! 

Having the Facebook page also helps us to be sure that our business is going in the right direction for you; without our fans we'd be working in a bubble (so to speak!!) and that would be a lonely place to be.

(Thanks to  www.zazzle.co.uk - customise it!)

Fan numbers have grown steadily; now that we've passed the 500 mark (I think it's safe to say) it seems a good time to take things up a level and see just how many more people we can reach.  There are so many fantastic small businesses and a whole host of talented crafts people now showcasing what they do on Facebook that it would be lovely to have even more input.  If you are a page owner, I am sure you too are discovering that networking in this can be both enjoyable and effective.

So! Competition time - Giveaway time - Our-Chance-To-Say-Thanks time...


Facebook rules mean that we cannot run give aways/competitions directly from the business page.  So we're posting a simple challenge right here.

All you need to do is leave a comment here, telling us why you "like" us.

When we get to 600 "likes" we'll put the names (here) in a hat and draw a winner.  The quicker we get to 600, the faster one lucky person will get their prize so please keep recommending our page and keep joining in with discussions & photo posting.  Follow this Blog too so that you can watch our progress.

And the prize?  One lucky recipient will enjoy one of our "Bumper" Bath Bomb Kits - minimum value £49.99 and delivered FREE to their door (sorry, uk only for this one). 

AND if we receive over 25 comments from individual people here we'll add a *special* second prize to the draw!

So, don't forget to share this post and our Facebook page with friends,

www.facebook.com/bathbomb.biz


Let's go!

PS Don't forget - when you "like" a page, if you're a business page owner then you need to sign into your personal profile to "like" other pages.  If you don't,  the like won't be counted as a number on that pages profile.  The easiest way to switch between your personal and business profile is by clicking the Account link at the top right of the page and selecting "switch back to (your name)

PPS!! Don't forget that you will need to "like" the Facebook page to get your name in the prize draw.  (Oh yesss I am checking lol)

Again, it's important that you do this logged in as your personal profile if you have a business page - that' the only way you show up in the counted numbers on the page :) Thank you :)
