Social is the new Holiday Card

 — 

While designing this year’s Bazaarvoice holiday card, we wanted something more participatory than a traditional “Happy Holidays from Bazaarvoice.” Our clients use our products to start conversations with their customers; we wanted to use our holiday card to start a conversation with you.

What’s more conversational than your holiday stories? We want to hear about your funniest gift, your worst travel experience, your favorite recipe, your most touching family moment – whatever story you feel like sharing with us.

But here’s the catch – you have to tell your story in 140 characters or less. Tweet us your stories on Twitter with the hashtag #bvhs between now and December 31st. We’ll choose the best tweets and post one a day to our Holiday Card page, coming soon. Each winner will receive a $10 gift card to Starbucks and a chance at the grand prize – a $500 AMEX card.

Here are a few examples for inspiration:

  • Wrapped all of our gifts before driving to Phoenix so the kids would be surprised. Left them under the tree at home. #bvhs
  • Got Mom a parka for the awful winters in Michigan. Next morning she announced she's retiring to Florida. Always get gift receipts. #bvhs
  • Spent our first holiday together in a wooded cabin, nothing but the snow surrounding us. Peaceful bliss after a hectic wedding. #bvhs
  • Age 14: got a TV for my room… I had to share with my brother. The argument lasted well into the new year! #bvhs

For more inspiration (and a good laugh), see what others have already submitted by searching #bvhs. Be sure to follow @Bazaarvoice on Twitter so we can DM the winners!

Happy holidays from all of us on the Bazaarvoice team!
