AllFreeCrochet Celebrates 10th Birthday With Landmark Promotion
July 31 , 2020Northbrook, IL – To mark its 10th year in business, AllFreeCrochet hosted a month-long promotion in June featuring 30 new patterns from reader-favorite crochet designers and brands. The first event of its kind for Prime Publishing, this landmark celebration engaged fans on the AllFreeCrochet website, on social media, and in email newsletters, generating more than 270,000 pageviews over the course of its monthlong run.
Each day from June 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020, a new pattern was revealed on the AllFreeCrochet Birthday Celebration hub page, as well as in the Hooked on Crochet newsletter, which mails to more than 200,000 active subscribers daily. Patterns included reader favorites such as crochet blankets, hats, sweaters, amigurumi, and more. Twenty of AllFreeCrochet’s top bloggers provided patterns for the promotion, along with companies including Darn Good Yarn and LoveCrafts.
The Birthday Celebration also included two giveaways where readers had a chance to win prizes from Darn Good Yarn and LoveCrafts. Darn Good Yarn offered a $100 gift card and LoveCrafts offered 20 balls of their new Paintbox 100% Worsted yarn. In total, the two giveaways received more than 21,000 pageviews and more than 12,000 entries.
“Sharing 10 new crochet patterns with our readers to celebrate AllFreeCrochet’s 10th Birthday was the original goal for this event, but we were so blown away by the enthusiasm and talent of so many crochet designers and yarn companies that we were able to feature a new pattern every single day of our birthday month,” said Laura Piantanida, editor of AllFreeCrochet and the organizer of the promotion. “AllFreeCrochet’s 10th Birthday Celebration was an amazing reflection of the creativity and support we have received from the passionate crochet community over the past ten years. This constant support from our crochet family has enabled AllFreeCrochet to become the crochet-lover’s oasis it is today.”
