Do you have any idea how often people tweet “I’m stressed” or “I neeeeeed a massage”? The Twitterverse needs the spa, and badly.
Good timing though, because Spa Week (@SPAWEEK to you) is around the corner, and everyone’s spa wishes can come true for just $50. We’d like to thank everyone who’s helped tweet their friends about @SPAWEEK, such as @TheFabChick, @joehodges, and @OhMyTy to name a few:
@OhMyTy is planning a spa day with a lot of Twitter friends – here’s one of her tweets: We decided that from here on in, we’d like to reward people who help spread word on Twitter. We’re going to be giving away $25 Spa Week Gift Cards to 10 Twitterers who we feel have really helped get the $50 word out. Keep an eye out for winner announcements from @SPAWEEK.
A good way to do this is to tweet about @SPAWEEK to friends who say they’re stressed out or had a long day.
Another good way is to search for people who need the spa – try searching the words “stressed” and “massage” and see what comes up!
You can even get creative and personal. If a Twitter friend finds a wrinkle, you can suggest $50 @SPAWEEK Botox. Are they bored? Maybe they need a Vattoo. Fat day? Colonic.
