"#CarpeDeal is about snagging great deals, and passing those deals along to friends through today's fastest-growing social networks. The concept of using a giveaway to promote word of mouth advertising is not new, but putting it into practice on social platforms is," says Naomi Berg, social channel director for Sierra Trading Post. "Participating on Twitter and Facebook has the potential to bring us closer to existing customers, reach new people, and give fans and followers a chance to get free stuff!"
"We're likely to see many more (of these types of campaigns) in the coming months simply because they work and the formula is easy to repeat. Hot giveaway + Twitter + hashtag = trending topic," writes Jennifer Van Grove in Mashable's Top 5 Twitter Trends to Watch.
Many retailers have experienced stagnant growth in traditional marketing channels due to a turbulent economy. Just as it once stretched beyond its catalog roots to enter the e-Commerce arena, Sierra Trading Post will continue to creatively deliver its message of "Great Deals. Great Brands." through the economical platforms of Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, with continued focus on its own active lifestyle blog: Blog.SierraTradingPost.com.
Giveaway winners will be announced through Twitter, Facebook and on http://www.Blog.SierraTradingPost.com.
