Last night's attendees at Event Barkers' #Coupaween Twitter Party were not disappointed. Seventeen lucky winners got a $25 credit to purchase whatever they wish at Coupaw.com. And one extremely lucky Grand Prize winner also will get to adore her furry friend in the form of a custom oil painting valued at $175.  

Many of these winners will opt for Halloween costumes, while others will grab treats, accessories, pet lover items and more. That's what we love about Coupaw--their variety and fantastic prices. With new deals every day, Coupaw focuses on making sure dog and cat lovers always get the best of what's out there at a great price. No treats from China, toys and products for all sizes of pets, and free shipping on most items are just a few of the reasons we love Coupaw.

We hope you will all enjoy the Promo Code shared during last night's party. (Pssst....it's 20% off with "TWEET20". Use it before 11:59 PM ET on October 6) It'a terrific way to save on any single order you'd like to place through October 6. I suppose you're wondering about our winners? Let's get to that list--a very long one!

Congratulations to RSVP drawing winners @NNacua and @BillyBadBird, PreTweet winners @WheresWoofie and EmpireoftheDog, Social media drawing winners Jessica E. and Eric R., and all our other winners: @JJMentos, @NailahBone, @SharonGilbert6, @Lorikeet8, @Angelysty, @AmandaE27, @n210ss, @Kaliberknl, @Olivias_Human, @Lori_Lynne1970.  Finally, our Grand Prize winner is no doubt looking through pet photos right now, trying to decide on the perfect one to show off her adorable best friend. Congratulations to @Corgipants, our Grand Prize winner. It must be a tough decision, but we know it will be a good one. I look forward to seeing the resulting portrait.

Artist Debbie Sampson of Art Sports.com will paint our Grand Prize winner's pet portrait. Debbie will guide this winner through a few decisions and then apply her pencils, brushes and trained eye to assure that our winner's pet is depicted in both appearance and spirit. 

We also want to thank Arden Moore for joining us once again. Her expert tips and answers to questions about Halloween safety for pets added yet another highlight to an enjoyable evening for all of us. I've got notes scribbled all over--notes that I hope to share with you in the coming weeks.

Congratulations again to all of our winners, and thank you to Coupaw, Arden, and Debbie Sampson.

#Coupaween Gets Pet Costumed and Makes a Backup Plan

Ready for Rough Weather? We are!

Today you get a twofer. I'm going to run down the #Coupaween party plan for tonight as well as give you our backup plan, just in case the worst were to happen--downtime at Twitter. Don't worry, though, this has never happened!

Let's get that Rain Date out of the way: It's Wednesday, October 2--same time, same channel (Twitter!). If Twitter is down for more than 15 minutes, we'll move to our rain date to make sure we get to enjoy the whole event. And remember, Coupaw has goodies for Meow and Woof! Check out these cute cats that are ready to party:

Now let's move on to our party plan. I like to give you a heads up on which of our team handles will be doing what. This is helpful for you in deciding who to follow. Here's the rundown:

@ArdenKnowsPets:  Arden Moore will be sharing Halloween safety tips and answering your questions on this topic. 
@EventBarkers:  As always, Event Barkers will be handing out the prizes and sharing some info about them and our sponsor, @Coupaw
@EBParties:  Learn more about @Coupaw, their site, variety, schedule, shipping, charity efforts, and product selection.
@DogTipper:  Get into the conversation about Halloween with DogTipper.
@AllThingsDog:  Help your dog be more comfortable in a costume with a few tips and easy ways to join in the Halloween fun.
@CatTipper:  Get some ideas for sharing your Meow's image in Halloween scenarios. You'll also see some photo sharing and we invite you to bring your photos to show off also.
@5MinutesforFido:  Oliver has been instructed to share some Halloween photos from earlier photo contests by Event Barkers. We'll see what happens, but please give him some kudos for trying.
@HollywoodDogs:  More photo sharing!  Don't forget to bring your Halloween pictures to share at the party.
@ParisandJohn:  Watch for tidbits about Arden Moore, pics of Irie and Tiki, and a Halloween recipe that you can whip up in a jiffy to keep Fido busy while you hand out candy at the door.

Finally, one last run through of the prizes: There will be 17 winners to receive a $25 Coupaw credit that they may spend on anything they wish at Coupaw.com. Our Grand Prize winner, to be announced at 9 PM ET, will receive one of these Coupaw credits along with a custom oil painting of a pet--valued at $175. Check out my post about artist Debbie Sampson to learn more.

That about covers it. Keep in mind that to win a prize at #Coupaween, you will have to be registered to receive daily deals at their site. And please don't forget to RSVP so we know you're joining us. We're drawing the winners from that list today, so don't waste any time getting over there. Now is the time to get that little detail taken care of so it doesn't get in your way. See you tonight; please come early and be sure to check in with @EventBarkers when you arrive.

Coupaw "Raffle" Prize Gets a Makeover

I am Fido. Hear me Roar!

Our Event Barkers Twitter Parties have long been punctuated by Rafflecopter fun. Today you'll find that the #Coupaween Rafflecopter has been replaced by a new, very similar, entry widget. We've got even more options for you now, and this widget offers us greater functionality as well.

The coolest part of this Raffle prize is that we have doubled it! There will be two winners drawn from these entries and each will receive a $25 Coupaw credit allowing them to select any products they choose, using their Coupaw credit to pay for it. Shipping is free too! Since virtually all of Coupaw's Halloween costumes (and other Halloween items too) are under that price point, you'll be able to select any Halloween item you'd like from their site for Fido or Fluffy.

Just like our earlier Rafflecopters, you're free to choose which entries you employ. No need to stress over using every option. The important thing is to remember that this is all for fun and prizes, so only use those entries you enjoy doing.

There are a couple of #Coupaween rules to keep in mind if you're interested in winning prizes. The link on the widget shares our rules. Coupaw requires that you be a subscriber to their daily deals at the time of the drawing. That said, you'll want to get on over to Coupaw.com right now to register! You'll notice that you even get an entry for this registration in our Raffle giveaway.
