Today’s Scavenger Hunt will lead you to a very special little girl…play TODAY to win!

It’s Scavenger Hunt time again!  If you would like to score a $20 Gift Coupon to Zoolu! and you have 3 minutes to spare – this is hands-down the easiest way to be “zapped” by Zoolu!  Play today for a chance to see which organization (and inspirational little girl) Zoolu! has partnered with – she has warmed our hearts and will certainly warm your heart as well!

A little background for Zoolu! Scavenger Hunt newbies :-)

Why a Scavenger Hunt you might ask? First and foremost, we are always looking for fun ways to interact with our fans. Secondly, Zoolu! is working on improving our ranking with Google – and these will help greatly! Apparently, if a shopper searches for a term and then clicks on our listing and stays on our site for a while, Google will see that as a great match for that search term. The more “great matches” we log in their eyes, the higher up we will move in their listings – which is a big deal for any online store today!

So…not only are you receiving a great chance to win a $20 Gift Coupon, but you will also be helping us improve our Google ranking along the way – it’s a win-win situation!!!

HOW TO PLAY:

1) Enter Baby Boutique in Google’s Search box.

2) Search for Zoolu!’s listing (I’ve found us anywhere from page 8 to page 15 – but it varies for everyone!)

3) Click on that link to be brought to our site and look for the clues on each page. Each clue will be marked with *** both before and after. The clue on our Home Page reads: ***Click HERE to begin***

4) The last clue will provide you with a special word (both the clues and the special word will change daily). E-mail that word and well as which number Google page you found us on at ZooluCares@shopzoolu.com and you will be entered to be zapped. (For example, my latest search for Baby Boutique on Google found Zoolu! on page 8. If I followed the clues and was given “lucky” as my special word, I would e-mail “I found you on page 8 and the special word of the day is lucky” to the e-mail address above.)

5) Check back on our Facebook page every day you participate to see if you were the lucky Scavenger Hunt winner :-)

HELPFUL TIPS:

~ Zoolu! is currently listed only with the title Baby Boutique – so please look both for that title and for our address: www.shopzoolu.com to ensure that you don’t miss us in the search. If you simply look for “Zoolu!” in the title, you will never find us :-(

~ Google lists sites that you have already visited in purple (vs. blue) – so that should help you scan the listings more quickly – just look for the purple links!

~ Google wants people to stay on a site for roughly 3 minutes to be registered as a good fit. If the Scavenger Hunt takes you less time than that (hopefully it will) – just be sure to keep your browser open to our page for a little bit longer to meet that minimum requirement.

RULES:

~ Your e-mail must include both the Google page you found us on and the special word of the day to be eligible for the “zap”!

~ Even if you have already won…feel free to participate again! Not only do the clues change every week…but the winner is selected at random, so you are still eligible to be “zapped” again!

JJ Cole Blanket…we have a winner!

Drumroll please! The winner of the JJ Cole Travel Blanket is Jason! Congratulations! I’m excited you’ll get to use this for the 4th of July. I hope the loud fireworks don’t scare your son!

3) Click on that link to be brought to our site and look for the clues on each page.  Each clue will be marked with *** both before and after.  The clue on our Home Page reads: ***Click HERE to begin***

4) The last clue will provide you with a special word (both the clues and the special word will change daily).  E-mail that word and well as which number Google page you found us on at ZooluCares@shopzoolu.com and you will be entered to be zapped.  (For example, my latest search for Baby Boutique on Google found Zoolu! on page 8.  If I followed the clues and was given “lucky” as my special word, I would e-mail “I found you on page 8 and the special word of the day is lucky” to the e-mail address above.)

5) Check back on our Facebook page every day you participate to see if you were the lucky Scavenger Hunt winner :-)

HELPFUL TIPS:

~ Zoolu! is currently listed only with the title Baby Boutique – so please look both for that title and for our address: www.shopzoolu.com to ensure that you don’t miss us in the search.  If you simply look for “Zoolu!” in the title, you will never find us :-(

~ Google lists sites that you have already visited in purple (vs. blue) – so that should help you scan the listings more quickly – just look for the purple links!

~ Google wants people to stay on a site for roughly 3 minutes to be registered as a good fit.  If the Scavenger Hunt takes you less time than that (hopefully it will) – just be sure to keep your browser open to our page for a little bit longer to meet that minimum requirement.

RULES:

~ You may enter daily (the clues will change each day)

~ Your e-mail must include both the Google page you found us on and the special word of the day to be eligible for the “zap”!

~ If you are “zapped” – you will have 24 hours to contact us to receive your special code.

GIVEAWAY: Petunia Pickle Bottom!

How exciting is this....our very first giveaway in honor of Zoolu!'s FIRST birthday is a PETUNIA PICKLE BOTTOM BAG! First of all, we feel so fortunate to have been given one of these bags as a giveaway. This company is awesome! As you know, Zoolu! only carries the very best products, so carrying PPB was obvious! We love them. Second, if you don't already have one of these diaper bags, you should consider buying one. They are adorable, durable and practical. Practical is a must especially for all of you multitasking mamas out there.

How many times a week do you leave the house with makeup and a cute outfit on? If you're like me the answer is NEVER. If you buy a Petunia Pickle Bottom bag for yourself, you will always feel dressed up. Aside from your sweet baby, this is a great accessory. You won't even feel like you're carrying a diaper bag because of how cute it is. I love this particular PPB bag because it can go from a shoulder bag to a backpack. So whether you're strolling the mall or running in the airport to catch your plane, Petunia Pickle Bottom has your back...and your binkys, diapers, changing pad, tickets, wallet.....

Petunia Pickle Bottom makes more than just diaper bags! How beautiful are these clutches?

You have until midnight PST, February 10th to sign up. To enter to win the Petunia Pickle Bottom Boxy Backpack in Evening in Essex just leave us a comment. When you leave a comment let us know what our next giveaway should be! We will announce the winner on the blog as well as on our Facebook page!

Good luck!
