Want to Promote your Product?

James — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 19:25:13 +0000

We talk about a lot of items here at Headache and Migraine News that we think will be useful to someone. We’ve talked about medications and supplements, machines, movies, sunglasses, and even water bottles and pillows!

Sometimes people have sent me products to review – and you’re welcome to do that (just contact me). However, today I want to talk about another great way to promote your product – give it away!

That’s right, I’m looking for companies who would like to give away their products for contests and give-aways here at Headache and Migraine News. Obviously prescription meds aren’t what I’m looking for, but there are plenty of other possibilities. The main rule here is that they have to be useful to someone with chronic headache or migraine or cluster headache.

For example, what about naturally and gently scented soaps? How about a supplement (have to be careful here – no "cures" please, and I’ll need something from a reputable source)? Or a biofeedback device? Or a special kind of ice pack? A good quality book? Even a special water bottle, or quality food product would be great. Preference given to items specifically designed for headache or migraine sufferers.

Obviously I will be picky. We don’t give away junk here. I’m looking for quality products. And in some cases I will need to have personal experience with it as well, so I know it’s of a high quality level.

Why would you want to give something away?

Haven’t you heard that to give is better than to receive? It’s great just to help people – for free! And I know that many of those who create these products really do want to help.

But there’s another reason – exposure for your product. In a contest or give away, your product is likely to be mentioned several times – on Twitter, Facebook, on this site, and in our free ezine. So we’re talking about tens of thousands of people – including over 13,000 "Likes" on Facebook and over 10,000 subscribers to our ezine.

So you can help people in two ways – give some one a free high quality product, and give others a chance to know about it and purchase it! And helping people is what we’re all about – by fighting headache and migraine. It’s about time we fought back, isn’t it?

Get involved!

If you’re interested in giving away a high quality product that will help those with chronic headache, migraine, or cluster headache, please contact me here. I may not be able to respond to all inquiries.

Note to our regular readers: We’ve had quite a few contests and give-aways here in the past. Most, if not all, have been paid for out of my own pocket. So the idea is not that I’ll stop doing that, but that we can have more contests thanks to generous sponsors.

Hi everyone!

This is a rare, more personal post – just to let you know I’m still here. I’m sorry that I haven’t posted more lately. Actually, I have a growing list of things that I’m just about ready to post – but between life and health (I mean lack of) I haven’t been able to get to them. (None of you ever have times like that of course)

We’re still posting articles on Twitter and Facebook, and there are lots of great discussions going on here and there – so please join in! And remember, there is a contest that is coming to a close – be sure to enter while you still can!

And stay tuned – I’ll try to get those posts up in the next week or two and we’ll get rolling again.

James — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 14:00:17 +0000

Alas, the Migraine Barometer is sold out. Or… is it??

Well, yes it is. But I have a confession to make. I hid one up my sleeve … just one … so that I could give it away for free.

I know there are many of you who are waiting for it to be available again. Well, who knows? You could be the one to win this one!

To clarify – this is the new edition of the Migraine Barometer, featured here. It will be shipped to you (if you win, of course), after the closing of the contest.

We’re doing a special contest this time, where you’ll have multiple chances to win – by doing things like "Liking" the Headache and Migraine News Facebook page, by tweeting, and by leaving a comment. Just follow the instructions below!

This time, due to the nature of the contest, it’s only open to US residents. Don’t worry – we’ll have another contest for everyone!

The contest closes 2 weeks from today, on the 24th of October.

Over 10,000 – WOW

James — Sat, 02 Jul 2011 15:22:27 +0000

Can you believe it? Headache and Migraine News now has over 10,000 "Likes" on Facebook! Thanks so much for joining the conversation!

Headache and Migraine News is much more than the posts here – it’s the comments, and the conversation. If I can spark some ideas and share some news, that’s great! But it’s you who really make things happen – for yourself, for the community, and for the future of migraine research!

So don’t let anyone shut you up – keep talking, keep sharing, keep learning and then giving back! Together let’s fight back against migraine, cluster, and chronic headaches!

1% Thursday: On Hiatus

James — Thu, 30 Jun 2011 18:19:42 +0000

Thank you all so much for your encouraging comments regarding 1% Thursday, which has been running since May 2009. It’s been great to hear your comments and ideas, and also to hear that the tips have been a help!

There have now been about 25 months of 1% Thursdays, which translates into almost 90 tips. I’m going to be taking a break from the weekly entries for the time being.

Instead, I will occasionally post a question for you to answer – either here or on Facebook or Twitter! This will give you all a chance to offer your own tips on various topics.

Also, I may once in a while point you to an earlier 1% Thursday, since I know we have many new visitors here.

Thanks again for your support! I hope you’ll continue to find clear, timely, practical information here at Headache and Migraine News.

Weather Related Migraine Attacks? The Migraine Barometer is (temporarily) back!

James — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 23:42:04 +0000

Those of you who have been waiting will be glad to hear that the Migraine Barometer is back in stock! If you are dealing with weather or barometric pressure headaches, this is a great tool to consider investing in. Here’s some more information, if you want to investigate:

Background on the Barometric Pressure Headache – why we hate them
The Migraine Barometer – why we love it
An example of how some people use it

A little background – the manufacturer has had trouble keeping the barometer in stock, which is why it’s only available temporarily and hasn’t been available since last year. We’re doing our best to get a more reliable supply, but at the moment things are out of our hands.

However, it’s here – at least for a little while – and the order page is back up! I will try to keep it up as long as they’re still in stock.
