If you’re on Twitter and Facebook you’re probably well aware of our #FreeStuffFriday promotion, which we hold on a regular basis. The name speaks for itself – we partner up with one of our awesome merchants and figure out what we can give away to our loyal Twitter followers and Vicinity members. We’ve given away prizes from Your Feel Good Soap Company, Chatime, and Get Gelled just to name a few.
Not only do people love our merchants, it turns out that they love contests and free stuff! So we want to get you, our devoted Vicinity merchants, on board to connect our social media fans with free stuff from your business. For #FreeStuffFriday we can do a variety of things, from a day-long promoted contest, to a flash contest that lasts only an hour. Both types of contests will expose your brand to all kinds of new consumers.
The response is always positive – everyone loves free stuff! It’s also a win-win for everyone involved: the merchants get exposure to new customers because we talk about it all day to our +20,000 social fans across the country AND a Vicinity member gets something for free. No one loses!
Sounds pretty great, right? We’d love for your small business to take part in the next #FreeStuffFriday. After all, we love to support our merchants with everything we do.
So here’s the deal: All you have to do is email us at marketing@vicinityrewards.ca, tell us what you want to give away (up to a $50 value) and we’ll do the rest!
Don’t forget to retweet/share all our Tweets and posts about the contest when we feature you! It will definitely help with the engagement and interaction for both of us. And hey, your biggest fans are your existing customers, so why not reward them even more?
