Deadline is approaching...

​Yes, the deadline for our People's Choice Competition is fast approaching.  The last day for voting will be Friday, Oct 13th at 10:00 pm (MST).  

With that in mind would you like to know some of the impact this event has had for our website and our Artist's Studio page?  I know I like knowing some of this stuff *smiling*.

So to begin with our website has received over 1,650 visits since the day this event has started on October 2nd.  That is just the visits to the IADR in the past 8 days!

Visitors that went directly to our People's Choice voting page are over 1,050 visits.  The people actually voting has reached over 800 votes.  Amazing and great job everyone!

But another cool statistic is everyone who participated in this event with their character and Artist's Page has had their individual page looked at 250% times more than before the event started.  It averages out that each Artist's Studio page has had at least 35 visits.  That means that even if someone voted for another character, they still took the time to come and look at all the other dolls on the Artist's Studio page of other artists.  So, as a seller, I can't make someone buy.  But as a seller I sure want to give a potential customer an opportunity to see what I created and maybe have for sale.  

With that in mind I want to thank everyone who has participated.  This week is the final days with the results being posted in our IADR Art Doll magazine coming out this weekend.  Congratulations as everyone has and is a winner in this event.
​

Not to forget that the Year End Event is now beginning.  A few changes are going to be happening there... with more opportunities to win --- so keep your eyes posted for the next blog explaining those changes.

Also our Sales Event will be November 3 - 5.  All the entries in the People's Choice award will already be listed for the page, but if you would like your Artist's Studio page or doll to be added to the Sale Page then drop me a note at [email protected] or instant messenger.
