Spirit Telecom Plays 'Santa' on Social Media for Toys for Tots
November 25, 2009
COLUMBIA, SC – November 25, 2009 – Spirit Telecom, a technology company focused on business communication, is playing social media Santa this holiday season to one lucky professional and lots of children in need.
The company is inviting locals to voice their business Christmas wish — what one communication tool would make their work life easier – via the Spirit Telecom No Static blog and Twitter account. In exchange, the company will donate funds to Toys for Tots, a program run by the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve.
To participate, business professionals in Columbia should visit the No Static blog and post a comment, answering: What business communication tool would make your work life easier and why? For each wish posted, Spirit Telecom will donate $10 to Toys for Tots, an organization that distributes Christmas gifts to children who would otherwise go without.
Spirit Santa will choose his favorite wish and grant it up to a $250 value. The contest begins Nov. 16 to Dec. 18. The winner will be announced Dec. 21.
Additionally, Twitterers can follow the company’s @NoStaticST Twitter account and tweet their holiday spirit. For every tweet using @NoStaticST and the hashtag #spiritsanta within the tweet, the company will donate $1 to Toys for Tots up to a maximum blog and Twitter donation of $1,000.
We recently launched a social media campaign and we thought what better way to get it rolling than to get into the holiday spirit by helping our community through a fun contest, says Terry Metze Jr., executive vice president business development and strategy. We hope Columbians really get into the idea of Spirit Santa and share their most longed for wishes, all for a great cause.
For more information about the contest, visit the company’s No Static blog, @NoStaticST Twitter account or the NoStaticST YouTube Channel.
