Travelstart Engages Customers, Creates Brand Awareness
In an effort to better engage customers and give back to society as well as create increased awareness for its brand, Travelstart, Nigeria’s fastest growing Online Travel Agency (OTA) recently organised a photo contest tagged: “Selfie In The City,” using facebook and other social media platforms.
Speaking at
an award presentation ceremony, the company’s Country Manager, Mrs. Lillian
Obinna-Igwe, said; “the contest was developed as a strategy to reach out to
fans via social media platforms as well as customers by uploading content on
its home page and engaging them through social media networks which they can
easily access from their smart phones.” She noted further that the contest was
also geared towards promoting culture and tourism in Nigeria while giving a
wider visibility to the brand simultaneously.
“The idea behind this competition
was to create a platform for Nigerians to whip out their smartphones,
strike a pose in a specific destination in any Nigerian city and upload their
"Selfie" photos on our website for a chance to win great prizes such
as return tickets to Nairobi sponsored by Kenya Airways,” Obinna-Igwe said.
The 'Selfie In The City" competition started on the 4th of September and ended on the 26th
of September, 2014. It was a travel photography contest that attracted submissions
of hundreds of photos, revealing interesting places in different parts
of Nigeria.
At the end of the competition, Miss Chidinma Winifred
Nwadinigwe, a graduate of Medical Laboratory Science from Imo State University
emerged winner with her entry having 936 votes. She went home with a goody bag
full of various gifts courtesy of Travelstart and an award of Two (2) Economy
Class Tickets to Nairobi sponsored by Kenya Airways.
Making the presentation of the
tickets, Mr. Clement Okoedoh, a Sales Executive with Kenya Airways said: “This
is a partnership between two big names in African Aviation; Travelstart and
Kenya Airways. Our coming together to make this contest possible is more of a
synergy between two big brands,” adding that “We like to partner with our
allies who are reputable and Travelstart is one of them.” He therefore called
on Chidinma to be an ambassador both for Travelstart and Kenya Airways among
her friends and as she goes about her daily life.
An elated
Chidinma thanked Travelstart and Kenya Airways for the award and promised to be
a worthy ambassador. “I am glad to be here and glad to have won. I never
thought I would win because the contest was very competitive. I have been
dreaming of visiting an African country and through this award it will be a
dream fulfilled,” she said with excitement.
