#SBS Winner from Theo Paphitis & #WOW Winner from Jacqueline Gold ~~~ Gabriella Buckingham @moobaacluck tells her amazing story plus 6 winner giveaway !!

Hello, I’m Gabriella, I’ve been an artist and illustrator for 21 years setting up “Moobaacluck – handmade happiness” in late 2008 from my garden summerhouse when my children were toddlers. From memory I joined twitter in 2009 and I have found it to be a wonderful help to me in my business and in my personal life too. I love to support people where I can and find that many people feel the same. One of you could one of these prizes for your comments on Shelly's blog!





                                                             6 PRIZE GIVEAWAYS


In the last 10 months I have come to the attention of two very prominent business people!

On Sunday 31st Oct. 2010 I saw a few tweets about a competition @TheoPaphitis was running: between 5.30pm-7.30pm he was inviting you to tweet about your business including the #sbs tag and of course @TheoPaphitis so that he could find it J He would then chose his favourite six sites and RT (retweet) them to all his then 60,000 + followers later that night!

This was my entry:

@TheoPaphitis Moobaacluck - Handmade Happiness for children and the young at heart www.moobaacluck.com #sbs

I did it quickly near the end of the first session, little knowing what it actually meant… Then congratulations started to flood in and I realised I’d won!

Hits went up on my site and I definitely gathered more followers and orders on notonthehighstreet.com/moobaacluck increased. Subsequent winners have made far more of the opportunity than I did at the time – contacting media for example. It really is a new democratic way for the small business to be noticed. A virtual business revolution!

Reading one of @Shellibobbins tweets on Wednesday 29th June 2011 I found out that Jacqueline Gold was about to start a similar process of “Women on Wednesday” – literally that day! I thought I’d enter #WOW and I won the very first time!!! This is what Jacqueline wrote to me and all her thousands of followers:



@Moobaacluck Love the concept of “handmade happiness”. Beautiful, well-designed website.”

This means such a lot especially as I had only recently designed a new shop site myself.

This time I blogged about it on my new site which I had already updated with a gorgeous #sbs badge. Later this week Jacqueline sent me a #WOW badge which also looks stunning on my site… and the hits on my website quadrupled on the day I won J

Do enter yourself!

    hat a fabulous story! What a fabulous website - love the links. Your designs are gorgeous and unique. Clearly talented, versatile and the variation of products to keep your business noticed and in business (whatever is trending). I especially love your paintings and the bunting. Well done and best wishes for the future.
    Thanks Shelli for showing us Gabriellas fabulous work - you are a great networker.

    I found Moobaacluck through SBS, I went on to redecorate my daughters bedroom, and painted ballerina hearts, the cutest picture of a rabbit (personalised) now adorn her wall and sleep above her bed- we also say goodnight to them every night! I have bought a heart for my brand new niece, wrote our Christmas thankyou cards on Gab's painted moobaacluck cards, recommended the work to everyone. I have even thought how I can rearrange our house to fit more things in! I am delighted to have 'met' Gabs and her beautiful work through SBS and twitter - I also love following her too as the tweets are fun (especially when you add wine) xx

    Well done on both your wins, this kind of exposure for a small business is great. Have to agree I didn't really use it to my advantage either, althought I did contact the newspaper but to no avial.
