Woople has been approved to participate in a Social Madness challenge and needs your help! The first round of the competition began on June 3rd, and local winners will be announced July 9th. If we advance, we will participate in the national contest, which begins July 16th. If we win the national competition, we will have the opportunity to donate $10,000 to the Dream Factory of Greater Kansas City. For more information on this volunteer organization dedicated to making dreams come true for chronically ill children, visit their site here: http://www.kcdream.org/. Click “About Us” to read more about their mission and how they accomplish it. One aspect of their mission is to “involve the whole country in the pleasure of granting dreams to children in need of a little ray of sunshine in their lives,” and we have the opportunity to help through this competition!
The competition is based on both votes and your social engagement, which consists of likes (on posts, statuses, etc.), shares, and comments. Our Woople Facebook page, Twitter, and LinkedIn company page are all included in the contest. Friend, follow, and connect with us to help us achieve our goal!
Here’s how the scoring works:
- It’s all about engagement! The score is based on how engaged our social media audience is on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter during the challenge. Social engagement is defined as likes, comments, and shares of a company’s posts by their followers.
- The score is also based on the number of votes we receive. Vote for Woople here: http://www.bizjournals.com/kansascity/socialmadness every day until July 8th! Then, stay tuned for more information. Simply create an account, log in each day, and vote for Woople.
- Round 1 is from June 3-June17, and the top eight companies with the most votes advance to the second round. Rounds 2-4 move to a bracket, head-to-head format like the NCAA March Madness Tournament. We will appreciate your daily votes, likes, comments, and shares even more from June 18-July 8th!
Vote for Woople and participate in our social media to help us assist in making children’s dreams a reality!
