Press Release from Handmade For Christchurch
Handmade For Christchurch charity auctions have proudly raised over $13,000 to date, to help those people and businesses significantly affected by the February earthquake in Christchurch.
The brainchild of a group of crafty ladies (most of whom have only met online) who appreciate quality handmade and were motivated to help Handmade for Christchurch. It has grown bigger than was ever envisaged. Within the first week our Facebook page had over 1000 likers. People from all over the world have generously donated handmade items with more than 650 now received. These have been successfully auctioned on TradeMe.
Our auctions have been running for over a month with the majority of auctions now complete. However we have a number of larger valued auctions that are currently live . These are due to close on Monday 11 April or Tuesday 12 April next week. We are hoping to attract a lot of attention to these premier auctions to ensure they raise as much money for Christchurch as possible.
These auctions include 38 Australian themed stitichery designs for quilt lovers from Pattern Press. The designs are suitable for use individually on tshirts, cushions, pillow cases and aprons to name a few. Alternatively several or all can be used to enhance a quilt. These stitcheries pay homage to quilters of yesteryear as well as cleverly encapsulating the very essence of Australiana.
A Social Media Marketing Package from Catalyst90 valued at $1999 is noteworthy also.
Social media focuses on building relationships online through platforms such as facebook, myspace, youtube, linkedin, bebo & digg. It is a powerful innovative tool that has revolutionised businesses around the world. Catalyst90 will tailor a plan for your business and provide coaching to effectively implement that plan . Social media has relatively low ongoing cost, perfect for a business of any size in today's current economic environment.
Other auctions include stunning artworks, jewellery and photography packages.
The generosity from people across the globe - both donating and bidding - has been astounding and heart warming.
