SO WHO IS ENTERING TO WIN THE NEW GILI ROMA TOTE?

Luvtoshopathome — Mon, 05 May 2014 06:41:03 GMT

Ok so I'm not on Facebook, so I tried to enter using my email address but how do you know if it went through? Now this may sound stupid but what is hashtag and how do you use it? I hear about it all the time but never knew anything about it. Guess I'm showing my age! Lol

You are not alone. I don't do FB either. I have seen several "win this" from different companies, and they are all "enter on FB." Been there, tried FB twice, and it just wasn't for me. I'm not joining just to enter a contest either. Guess I'm showing my age too. LOL

Helppppppp LOL. So you have to put in # all my life? Or just the # symbol? Really, who comes up with these things? Why can't life just be simple?

# just used to help "file" same items together, all pictures #gilitote or #cats

on a web site (like instagram) would theoretically end up on the same page.

make sense?

I think the whole point of ""To Gather"" in QVC is to gather more information about their customers.

You don't need a Facebook account to have an account at toGather. You can sign up with your QVC information. This is not your forum screen name but your real name--but you can use your full first name and last name first initial if you prefer to be discreet.

You don't need to use a hash tag to enter to win a bag. Just go to the block that has the picture of the bag color you want (or go to all of them if you so desire) and click on the heart-- ("heart" the item). This will prompt you to create a collection into which this heart will go. Call it whatever you like ("my favorites" or something more creative, doesn't matter) and hit the "create" button and your hearted item will go there automatically.

At that point you're entered to win the bag. It's nice to put the hash tag and the hash tag handle (the words) into your description, but you are neither required to do that or even to write a description about why you like an item. I usually write a few words about why I'm "hearting" an item, but I'm naturally chatty!

You can add items by just clicking the heart in an item you wish to add and select either this first collection you've just created or make a new one.

toGather is really fun once you get the hang of it.

I do not face book either. I do not care for this line so it does not matter to me. I will not enter.

Maybe I'm missing something, but you don't need to be on Facebook to enter this giveaway.

You just have to go to toGather and use your Q information.

I don't Facebook anymore either. I signed up twice from pressure from family and cancelled twice. I don't see why anyone who can email would need it. Plus, the shared information seemed to be either boring - "I have a headache today" type of thing or inappropriate things that should not be shared with the world.

These days when a word is preceded by a # it is a reference to a Twitter account or a following on Twitter. I don't know what OP is specifically referring to but if, for example, it was #gili and you clicked it! it would be all the comments about #gili. Hashtag# is a Twitter thing.

You are not alone! I am on Facebook but I don't really participate, my daughter set it up for me and I rarely go on. I've never done Twitter and never will. I kinda knew that the hashtag # thing was related to twitter but I wasn't sure. So, I'm glad you asked. I'm really good at faking that I know about that social media stuff.....and that I care....LOL

I tried to "join" toGather, but it asked me to log in with either Facebook or my QVC information--but it wouldn't accept my QVC sign in. I'm NOT going to join Facebook to enter a contest--I have too many privacy concerns. So I guess I can't enter. Oh well, not a big deal.

Yup. So true. I am on facebook by I won't enter any contests from there. The contest should be available to anyone (even those not on facebook), so this is really just a way to get you on their facebook.

I'm not interested in the bag but I also do not belong to any social networking sites so this kind of thing is not something I can enter anyway.

You can create a Facebook account (or Twitter, Instagram, etc) and use it only for contests. You never have to post anything else or enter more personal information. I've had an Instagram account for 2 years and have never posted a single picture. I started the account for a blog giveaway. Just make sure you create a user name and password you can easily remember if you only intend to use it once or twice a year.
