Palace Entertainment and Fans: Facebook BFFs

PRLog (Press Release) - May 23, 2011 - Palace Entertainment is using social media to celebrate its fan experience, launching a weekly Best Fan Foto (BFF) promotion on Facebook. The promotion features select fan photos as the centerpiece of the parks’ social media profiles, proving that the memories and enthusiasm of park guests speak louder than any other message at Palace Entertainment.

The BFF promotion encourages Fans of the water and theme parks to submit their favorite photo to be the parks’ profile picture for a week. Randomly selected “winners” receive two Single-Day Admission Tickets. Fans of Palace Entertainment’s gated parks, including Kennywood, Raging Waters, and Dutch Wonderland, have submitted photos of their visits and memories to their respective pages.

With the BFF promotion, Palace Entertainment is joining conversations on the social media level to say “Thank You” and create a forum for guests to share and relive their experience at Palace Entertainment parks. The promotion and social media conversations also get fans excited to create new memories in the 2011 season.

From toddlers hugging dragons to mid-air water slide shots, the photos capture the genuine fun Fans can have at Palace Entertainment parks; thus, sharing those memories and enthusiasm with others.

Submitted photos carry across the eight-week promotion, ending on July 3, encouraging fans to check back in to see their Fan Foto, share stories and ask questions. The BFF promotion is part of a larger social media initiative by Palace Entertainment, positioning individual park Facebook and Twitter pages as the first line of customer service, informational resource, and of course, discounts and fun.
