HOMETOWN is now 160 days old, quite young, huh? But we have come long way to this day, and whole of our team thank you for all of your support in past months.
Whether you made a shopping with us, spread word about Hometown, or borrowed books from us. It has worked! You might know we're moving to our new office later this month and making great things like:
1. Selling our shoes & Chappals in over 17 countries.
2. Hired two new guys to make bespoke shoes.
3. Accept PayPal and major credit cards for payments.
4. Launching our mobile site in Dec
5. Awarded as 'Innovation Hero' by Govt. of Punjab and Google Inc.
6. Won P@SHA social innovation fund.
Best of all: Hearts of many friends / customers along the way.
We are now setting bigger goals, such as bringing more craftsmen on board, adding more products and getting into new markets.
But before we do that, we want to express our feelings and gratitude with you. To do this, we are gifting two shoes, one in Pakistan and the other to folks living outside Pakistan.
The idea is to keep the activity fun, you can nominate yourself and one of your Facebook friend too. Which means we'll add two names in the box from you.
What if I win?
You will get the shoe which you can choose from our website. A handwritten letter from Waqas Ali, a poster reflecting the culture of craftsmanship in Pakistan. Cool? Here are two ways to win:
1. Tweet Entry
Simply click the twitter bird on right side, or tweet what you see below for a chance to win.
Head over to our shoes page, and see which shoe you would like to have if you win. Each shoe has its own character and personality. So choose wisely.
Write an interesting comment below telling us which shoe you like and why. In addition you can tag one friend from Facebook (type @ and his name to tag). Keep the 'Post to Facebook' selected so that others can see / like your comment. Likes will increase your chances to win.
