(firmenpresse) - PALO ALTO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/21/11 --
Consumers Worldwide Encouraged to Enter Contest, Share Best or Worst Online e-Retail Shopping Experience Via Rap or Rhyme
Special Prizes Awarded, Including US$1,000 Amazon Gift Card
, a leading and provider for cloud and mobile applications, today announced a worldwide rap and rhyme holiday e-Retail shopping Twitter contest. In-store holiday shopping can be a stressful experience; so now more than ever global consumers are embracing online shopping this holiday season -- over US $40 Billion is expected in sales. But, e-Retail shopping has its flaws as well, especially when it comes to slow page load times. In fact, research shows that four seconds is the maximum length of time the average online shopper will wait for a Web page to load before potentially abandoning a site.
Apica's contest will give anyone an opportunity to share a rap or rhyme via Twitter expressing their best or worst e-Retail holiday shopping experience in a fun and creative way. To join the contest, submit a rap or rhyme about an e-Retail holiday purchasing mishap or utopian experience catered to Twitter's 140 character format. All entries must be submitted via Twitter, where contestants will tweet their entry to (at)apicasystems and include the hashtag #apicarap in the body of the submission. To be eligible to win, all entrants must also follow Apica on Twitter at (at)apicasystems.
To help inspire you, here are a few sample tweets:
