Announcing, SimpliFlying’s first Tweepitition!

Tweepitition n. |tweep-iti-tion| – A competition for people on Twitter (Tweeple) where they can win great prizes like a 4GB Apple iPod shuffle (the one that talks!) and five autographed copies of the outstanding book on Singapore Airlines, “Flying High in a Competitive Industry: Secrets of the World’s Leading Airline”.

Why this competition? Why now?

SimpliFlying has been publishing three articles on airline branding per week for 15 months now. And we’ve been showered with a lot of love. Almost 180 articles have been read over 65,000 times! Sometime in the next two weeks, SimpliFlying will be re-launched with a fresh, new look that will offer a much better user experience.

Let’s just say that we’re re-branding this Summer and wanted to thank our avid readers with something relevant (the book on SIA!) and hip (what’s more hip than an iPod that talks?).

Prizes: Each of the five books will be given away through a lucky draw of people who’ve completed either of the two tasks below. Draws will be held at 11pm, Pacific Time each Monday, Wednesday and Friday for the next two weeks. The iPod is the grand prize which will be given away on 15 May, 2009.

Winners will be announced on SimpliFlying and prizes will be shipped to them free of charge!

So now that you’re all excited about the prizes, let me get down to business and explain how you can win!
