Keep Britain Breastfeeding
Internet Scavenger Hunt August 1st-7th, 2015
Internet Scavenger Hunt August 1st-7th, 2015
GOAL – The decision
on how to feed your baby should be an informed one. The goal of this scavenger hunt is to inform and
educate families about breastfeeding as well as providing an online platform
for people to share their knowledge and own experiences during World Breastfeeding Week (1st-7th August, 2015).
PLAN – Pregnant and
breastfeeding women and their family members will be invited to register
and participate in an internet scavenger hunt with the hopes of learning more about breastfeeding, sharing their experiences, winning prizes, and learning about businesses that support breastfeeding. During the Week of 1-7 August, 2015 these participants will hunt for the “Keep Britain Breastfeeding” scavenger hunt logo which will be hidden within blogs and websites to collect points. The points will then be used to enter different competitions going on throughout the week. Participants who accumulate at least 50 points throughout the week will then be eligible to enter the competition to win the Grand Prize!

Each of the days of the week will be themed. Bloggers and organizations with a passion for
breastfeeding will be asked to write posts based upon the theme each day for
the participants to read (Each blogger can write 1-100 posts). Companies that sell breastfeeding products or are breastfeeding friendly
will be invited to provide prizes and discount codes during the week
to encourage participants to read the
articles and visit the company websites.
Companies can decide to run smaller individual competitions by working
with the bloggers for additional incentives to read and learn. Each article will link to at least one
company and other bloggers who are participating in the hunt. Competitions will all be linked to an article
based on the appropriate theme which can be located on the company blog or a separate
blog.
A central blog www.keepbritainbreastfeeding.co.uk
will be used to list the rules as well as an entire list of all participating
companies and blogs. Participants must register at this
central blog to receive updates throughout the week and be eligible to enter
the competition. Participants, companies
and bloggers are encouraged to tweet and post about the hunt as much as
possible to bring people to the hunt and promote their articles, competitions
and discount codes. RaffleCopter will be
used as a means to do this in an organised way.
What Can You Do?
1.
Breastfeeding Friendly Companies –
You must provide at least one donation for our
grand prize. You will also have the
opportunity to donate additional prizes for competitions to be held in
conjunction with participating bloggers during the week. You may
also decide to have a discount code available for participants to use
during
the event or on a specific day during the event. You may either promote
this through your own blog
or by using a blogger of your choice.
Your logo and information will be listed on the central information blog
along with links to all donors and article writers and T&C’s. In
the run up to the event and during the Week of August 1-7, 2015 I ask
that you promote the event by all means that you have at
your disposal to build and promote interest in the Hunt.
2.
Bloggers
– Each day will
be themed. You should choose to write at
least one article, but you may write for as many days as pleases you.
Please choose the days that you plan to post
your articles so that your posts can be shared at the correct time. You
will be provided with the logo to post on your blog entry as well as a
list of
websites and bloggers that you can choose to link to. You must link to
other
participating bloggers and at least 1 company sponsor. In the run up to
the week of 1-7 August, I ask that you promote the event by whatever
means you are able to through
social media. You may choose to run a
competition and team up with one of the breastfeeding friendly
companies. You can go directly to the company or let me
know you have interest in working with a company for a competition and I
can
pair you together.
3.
Breastfeeding Support Organizations
– I would love you to promote the services that you offer to pregnant and
breastfeeding women and their families, as well as provide lots and lots of
facts about breastfeeding. People like
to get their information from different places.
Personal recommendations are always powerful, but we mustn’t forget that
some like the hard facts. Please use
this opportunity to let the participants
know all about your organization and educate them on what matters to your
organization the most. You may choose to
post your articles on your own website or choose to guest post on your
favourite blog. If you are able to donate a prize that would be great but not mandatory.
4.
Other Companies – If your company is not directly related to
breastfeeding but you sell products and services to families with young children
and you are a small family company selling products that promote a natural
approach to parenting then I would love you to participate in the hunt. You must provide a prize for the grand prize
competition and then in addition to this you can also choose to provide a
discount code during the event and/or work with bloggers for additional competitions. If you
have a blog, you can also choose to write articles during the month on the
theme/s of your choosing. The company
must be breastfeeding friendly.
Each company and blogger needs to be approved before being
able to participate. It would be great
to have a wide assortment of bloggers and breastfeeding friendly companies
represented during the month.
