Florida Residents: If You Love Your State - Share It!
May 12, 2009
Florida residents know how lucky we are to call this state home -- the year-round sunshine and winter warmth, the romantic beaches and gorgeous parks, the laid-back lifestyle and thriving cities. And know we can Share a Little Sunshinewith our out-of-state neighbors by enticing them down for a visit.
Living in Orlando, it seems my out-of-state friends are always coming into town, whether to visit the theme parks or attend a convention. And the Share a Little Sunshine campaign is making it even more appealing to rally your friends to come visit you, wherever you live in Florida! And who couldn't use a little company from loved ones and friends -- a "staycation" in the greatest "staycation" state, if you will! -- during these trying economic times?
Here's how it works: Visit the official website and select one of the cool video invitations to email to your friends and family. You can choose from couple-friendly vacation invitations to family vacation invitations and invites for friend get-togethers, depending on who exactly you'd love to come hang with you!
To thank you for your efforts in promoting tourism to our state, VISIT FLORIDA will automatically enter you into a drawing to win one of 12 weekly Florida vacation getaways (each invite you send means one more entry under your name in the drawing!).
The recipients of your invitation will also be rewarded with information on fabulous deals from your local area in Florida, making it all the more appealing for them to plan a visit to see you! There's even an incentive good for $25 off a Florida flight on AirTran to help them defray the costs of getting here.
I tell you, this is one great deal around. I can't wait to send out invites to my best friends and mom and dad, who've been suffering the northeast and midwest weather far too long this year.
Imagine -- your friends come to visit you here, have a blast of a vacation, and you might even end up winning one of the fabulous Florida getaways in the drawing for yourself, too!
The campaign launches today and goes through August 9, 2009. So get those invitations rolling!
