Operation: Promote Shivtr!

by 8 Toes on Jul 19, 2011 in Contests

Now that we are officially Shivtr, we want to kick things off with a contest! Operating under a new name means rebuilding our brand, and to assist with that effort we are running "Operation: Promote Shivtr!" this week. This is a contest we will be running until next Sunday (July 24th) aimed at helping to get the word out about our new name. So lets dive into the details:

Contest Details

Helping us promote Shivtr and getting entered into the contest is easy! If you have a Facebook account, simply visit our facebook fan page at www.facebook.com/Shivtr and click the like button. And if you have a Twitter account, simply retweet the following tweet:

Prizes

At the end of the day on July 24th, everyone who has become our fan on Facebook will be entered into a draw for a $50 Amazon Gift Card. In addition, everyone who has retweeted our Twitter message will be entered into a draw for a $50 Amazon Gift Card. If you take both actions, you have two chances to win!

Why you should participate

Helping to get the word out about Shivtr helps our site grow, which in turn helps us to bring you new features faster and offer even better support. This also means more users that join your community will already be familiar with our site. It's an all around win, so help us take over the world (without having to use our martian photon guns) and participate in Operation: Promote Shivtr! =)

Update: Winners Announced

Thanks to everyone for participating in our contest, and congrats to our winners:
