Let's create a social media share fest and get our names and businesses out there in a fun and creative way!
Have Fun:
First dates. Let’s face it. Sometimes, they’re great. But just as often, not so great. And every now and then, they’re, well, awful. Nightmarish. Horrible. The worst, ever!
We should know. As Matchmaker’s and Coaches, we hear all kinds of stories from all kinds of singles about their worst first dates. And now we want to hear from you! Think you have been on the worst first date ever? Tell us about it. And you just might win a groovy prize for sharing your story.
Everyone is invited to stop by and read the tales of dating woe, or even share their own story, but only one lucky single will win!

- 45 Min Dating & Relationship Coaching Consultation from Matchmaker Rachal Russo, MS, MFT

{Other prizes to be added...you can donate a free book, ebook, consultation, coaching session, service or product to add to the list!}
Do GOOD!
We will be asking for a donation to charity with each story submission.
Arlene Vasquez Washburn came up with the idea of asking for a donation for a repetuable charity. Rachel Russo has already done some research on this and I will be posting more information soon.
The charity we are considering is Sanctuary for Familes. Sanctuary for Families is New York's leading service provider and advocate for survivors of domestic violence, sex trafficking, and related forms of gender violence. Donations will be made directly to the charity to avoid accounting issues on my end.
Many thanks to Lisa Clampitt for pointing Rachel towards this particular charity! Crossing fingers in hopes they will be open to our support!

So what is in it for you and/or your business?
LEADS: I will only be accepting one matchmaker/coach per city. You will receive any and all leads generated for your city and agree to pay the industry standard referral rate of 20% to MMGC. MMGC will in turn donate 5% directly to the charity. (Matchmakers and Coaches will be allowed to participate on a first come first serve basis = one matchmaker/coach per city.) To see an example of information collected for leads click here. It will be a shorter form with less information for the contest but this gives you the general idea.
All participating matchmakers/coaches will have their photo, short bio, and link to their website listed on the contest web page along with their free gift!

This is a work in progress...
I am open to any input and/or suggestions! Feel free to email direct at Denise@MatchMakerGulfCoast.com
I would like to schedule a 30 minute google hangout with all participating to be recorded and used for promotion on social media. Individual short video clips are another option....as scheduling a group video could be complicated.
