Agenda’s 31 Days of Giveaways: We’re saying thanks with $15,000+ in prizes on Instagram every day from Black Friday to December 23

Back in April of 2015 when we launched this little venture with a few hundred early subscribers and zero social followers, we had no idea it would grow so quickly into what it is now.

Today, Axios Charlotte reaches 30,000+ newsletter subscribers, 85,000+ Instagram followers, 32,000+ Twitter followers and 35,000+ Facebook fans. We also now have 800+ diehard Agenda Members who receive insider information, special event invites and exclusive deals all over the city. We love them. We love all of you. And we owe you big.

To celebrate your support and to say thank you, we’re throwing prizes your way the entire month of December. It’s really the least we can do.

Follow @charlotteagenda on Instagram

You can expect generous hefty prizes valuing $250 and up from over 31 local Charlotte businesses.

A HUGE thank you to all of these businesses for offering up such fantastic prizes. We were blown away by the response and enthusiasm to participate. We also wish we could win every single one of these for ourselves.

You do not want to miss this. Follow us on Instagram now.

Giveaways will be featured in no particular order so you’ll have to check in each day to see what’s up for grabs. We’ll be posting daily giveaways in the morning and selecting a winner at random the same night. In general, giveaways will run from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Some days will feature multiple giveaways, in which case there will be a morning giveaway at 8 a.m. (closing at 9 p.m.) and a night post running at 9 p.m. (and closing at noon the following day). Keep an eye on the caption for each prize for specific information on the entry window.

All you’ll have to do is comment to enter.

We are so grateful for your support.

We’re doing this because it’s a small way for us to say thank you for reading, subscribing, sharing, commenting, emailing, liking, questioning and critiquing what we do. We really can’t do it without you.

So let the games begin! We’ll see you tomorrow on Instagram. Follow #CA31days to keep up with the prizes. Good luck!
