Share the Smile?
« on: September 02, 2014, 18:30:55 »
HEY!

There's an annoucement in all Playmobil FB pages.

#sharethesmile       COMING SOON!

Anybody knows what is it?

All that start with # means twitter? My life is twitter-free, sorry I have no idea  :P

 ???

No idea at all... perhaps instead of a free gift to you with purchase you can "share a smile" and send a free gift and catalog to a friend?...  or send a virtual free gift to a friend to claim their own smiling figure and catalog? .... if so that would be a brilliant marketing campaign.
Someday, I will organize my stuff, I promise.

My feeling is it has to do with pictures.

Some instagram or tweeter thing uploading photographs but not a contest... no idea. Just guessing. :P

I saw that post on Instagram as well, it's a very cryptic message.

That is a very good guess, probably most likely what this whole #ShareTheSmile event is about. A Playmobil photography contest in which contestants share their pictures via hashtags on social media.
Life's essentials: food, water, shelter and at least one klicky.

I don't have instagram either, but good to know it's there too. I think we're not far from truth then  ;D

Since my life is FB, Twitter & Instagram free, I would not have a clue I'm afraid  :(

I'm sure they will, especially since the same klickies used in the picture that has been shared in these announcements are also now on the front page of the PCC, replacing the old header.

Although i like the design of this "campaign" its a little weird to use the claim "share the smile" when releasing more and more klickies without the typical playmobil-smile at the same time.

On the other hand its nice to see geobra seems to remember their roots after all.
