It’s day ten of our Twenty Four Days of Twitmas promotion. We’ll tell you one thing, the snow has not dampened the excitement or the success of this year’s festivities. As was mentioned last week in our Friday re-cap, the kick off totally exceeded our initial expectations.

Over the weekend it was our turn to give away three domain names on Saturday, and Sunday was a business hosting package including a domain name too! Our congrats to: @TcNisbet, @cobbiecollinge, @sjwmobile and @UniformCentral respectively.

Then week two kicked off with a case of wine – 6 bottles of Oglio Wine courtesy of our good friends at Entourage. Well done to @Gr3ant who scooped this festive prize.

Tuesday it was a unique gift from local photographer Marc de Ridder who gave away a one-hour photoshoot won by @Clyde_Broadcast.

Wednesday was arguably the most unique offering for the promotion so far – 6 prize packs from SpidaTrap.com – which contained not only ten actual spider traps (yes really), but also a SpidaTrap.com baseball cap too. Those goodies went to @silverburnlive @young_matthew @bigste78 @buddybanana @therossmcl @easydees. Well done and enjoy your spider-free homes!

On Thursday we had two, £25.00 vouchers  up for grabs courtesy of our friends at Lounge at Largs and Room at Largs.  @robajob99 & @ThirdSectorLab were the winners of these delectable prizes.

Today, as it’s Friday we’ve got something for all you Rockers out there! It’s a Rock Radio Prize Pack with such rockin’ goodies as a  t-shirt, notepad, stickers, and key ring too.

Looking ahead to this weekend, we’ve got a couple of giveaways just for the Kids, which will be perfect for the winter weather! 

Finally just as a reminder, next Friday (day 17 of Twitmas!) is our Work For Free Day. What that means is that each year, for one entire day, we offer our complete range of services at no cost – including website advice, SEO, logo creation, social media consultancy and more.  Get in touch now to take full advantage!

For the second year running, we were delighted with the results from our “Work for Free” day, which we carried out just before Christmas (December 21st 2009).

Following on from last year, the NSDesign team enjoyed a great day helping just over 20 small businesses, with free consultancy on the likes of SEO, Social Media, and web design.    Like last year, we weren’t without our detractors for the initiative, with the DBA again giving us a little “dig” on twitter… (although thankfully, nothing on the scale of last year!)… and a few industry players that like to moan about “de-valuing” design, without truly understanding what the day is actually about.

However, like last year, all we really care about is the feedback from clients, which has been 100% positive.

We were also lucky enough to get some great publicity on the day, mainly from a BBC Radio Scotland interview which went on to look at the value and benefit of providing free time and consultancy, and the history of working for free!  Listen to the full radio interview here.

Will we repeat the work for free initiative next year?  What do you think…
