Sponsor a Legend: Join the BouncingSoaps Cryptid Giveaway!
matt chalmersLet’s get real: growing a small business can feel like you’re shouting into the void. As the founder of Bouncing Around the Room, I’ve felt disconnected lately, and I’m ready to start fresh. This cryptid-themed giveaway is my invitation to you to help me rebuild our community with... honesty, fun, fantastic prizes, and exciting weekly updates!
This month, we’re not just sharing posts—we’re sponsoring legends.
How to Play: Champion Your Favorite Cryptid!
The goal is simple: the cryptid with the most "sponsors" (that's you!) at the end of the month wins. We'll then draw a winner from that winning team!
To Enter:
- Follow Us: Make sure you’re following @bouncingsoaps on Instagram.
- Sponsor a Cryptid: Find any reel or post and comment with the cryptid you want to champion! Are you Team Mothman? Team Flatwoods Monster? Or a local legend from your own state?
Want to give your cryptid the edge? Earn bonus votes:
- Tag a friend in your comment for 2 extra votes.
- Share the giveaway in your post or stories (and tag @bouncingsoaps) for 3 extra votes.
Every comment, tag, and share helps your cryptid team get closer to victory!
The Winner's Haul: What’s at Stake?
The grand prize winner, drawn from the most popular cryptid team, will receive an epic merch bundle:
- A Bad Faith Beanie: Cryptid-approved for all your winter adventures.
- A BouncingSoaps Logo Shirt: Designed by yours truly!
- Three Bad Faith Posters: Perfect for collectors and fans of the strange.
- A Curated Bundle: A selection of our signature handmade soap and skin care products.
The votes are in for our first week, and you all showed up for your favorite cryptids! We're thrilled to announce that the Fresno Nightcrawler has emerged as our undisputed Week 1 champion!
Their mysterious, ethereal presence clearly resonated with many of you, capturing the top spot with incredible engagement across all platforms.
A huge thank you to everyone who commented, tagged, and shared to support their chosen legend. Seeing the passion and interaction has been truly inspiring!
But don't count out the other cryptids yet! This is just the beginning. There are still three more weeks for your favorite cryptid to rally, climb the ranks, and become our ultimate sponsor champion. Every new vote and share matters more than ever as we move into Week 2.
Keep those comments coming and let's see which cryptid will dominate next!
A Quick Note on the Struggle—and the Restart
I pour my heart into every soap recipe, poster design, and zine. But lately, sharing that work has felt like it vanishes into the online ether. If you’re a creative, you know that feeling of doubt.
This giveaway isn’t just a marketing push. It’s my way of re-engaging and proving that we can still do big things together. It’s a way to turn that feeling of isolation into a fun, collaborative project. From my zine on Substack to the custom one-of-a-kind shirts I'm developing, I'm determined to keep creating and connecting, even when it feels invisible.
Your participation means more than you know. Let’s make October the month we all come out of hiding.
