We wanted to explain a little bit about our Give-A-Ways.    Like most businesses we spend money on a monthly advertising budget and in some cases it's with companies outside our industry.  When trying to figure ways to keep some advertising money in our industry we came up with the idea of doing giveaways.  

 

 

This isn't a new idea by any means as you have probably seen some of your favorite brands / YouTube'er  do this as well so we figured we'd give it a go too.  If it works out we'll do these on a regular basis as it seems kinda fun to give stuff away. 

 

There are several ways to earn entries to win.  

1. For every $1 spent at www.albes.com you get 1 entry.   Albe's branded goods get 10 entries for every $1 spent.
2. If ordering online once your order is placed you will also be able to earn bonus entries for things like following us on different social media outlets, subscribing to our Youtube or referring a friend to check out the giveaway.  You can also find the ways to earn more entries on your account page on www.albes.com  as well as keep tracking of how many entries you have in total.
3. Don't Worry....You can also enter with out making a purchase by mail as well.  Check the rules below on how to enter by mail.
