Everything You Need to Know About #ScottSentMe2024

September 2, 2024 /

INSTRUCTIONS & RULES:

  • No purchase is necessary, but I know it’s tough to control yourself. 
  • The contest:  Visit the most quilt shops across the globe during September, October and November of 2024.  When you visit each shop, please make sure to tell them that, “Scott Fortunoff from the Jaftex Corporation sent me.” If the business owner doesn’t know what you are talking about, tell them everything you know and then tell them to read this blog post for more information www.scottfortunoff.com.
  • Duration: Sunday, September 1st, 2024 to Saturday, November 30th, 2024. 
  • On Saturday, November 30th, 2024, post your shop total visits on my @JaftexPresident Facebook page when queried. Each shop can only be counted once.
  • To play along with the #ScottSentMe2024 Challenge, you must have a Facebook account and make it public for the duration of the challenge.  In order to win, you must follow my @jaftexpresident Facebook account.
  • On Friday, December 6, 2024, I will ask the top consumers who visited the most shops for undeniable proof of all the shops they visited.

PROOF OF VISITS: 

  • To prove that a certain shop was visited, here are ideas of things to include in the photos (one or more forms of incontrovertible proof is ideal):
    • You must be in at least one of the proof photos for every single shop visited.
    • A picture in front of the shop’s signage. If the signage is outside, you will also need proof you went inside the shop.
    • A picture with the owner or a shop employee if that is not too disruptive to the business and they are willing to pose.
    • A picture of you in the shop, as long as there is something that makes it clear what shop you were in i.e. a sign, a banner or a flyer, etc.
    • A picture of the shop’s business card.
    • A photo of a shopping bag from the store.
    • A credit card statement with a purchase from the store.

PARTICIPATION: 

  • Who can participate?  The truth is that this contest is for everyone.  The only exclusion would be fabric sales reps from any company or Jaftex employees.
  • Territory: This contest is open to consumers visiting shops worldwide. Yes, this is the first time we made the contest worldwide.
  • #ScottSentMe2024 Facebook Group: Want to see where everyone else is going and make some new quilting friends? Please join the #ScottSentMe2024 Facebook group: www.facebook.com/groups/scottsentme2024/.
  • Sponsors:  I wanted to remind you of the names of all of the brands under the Jaftex umbrella so that you know who is sponsoring this contest:
  • By the way, I also wanted you to know that we at Jaftex are Event Sponsors for all of the Shop Hop Inc. events. Therefore, if you are participating in a shop hop during September-November, it is a no-brainer for you to participate in #ScottSentMe2024 at the same time.
