Bath & Body Works myPocketBac Hand Sanitizer Contest – Design Your Own Today!

Bath & Body Works myPocketBac hand sanitizer design contest
You can design a myPocketBac too!

I am a hand sanitizer addict. I carry at least one hand sanitizer in my purse, two in my van, and you’ll find them in drawers, bags, and closets throughout my house.  I recently asked my daughter’s pediatrician if there is such as a thing as too much sanitizer (specifically, when you go to Disney) and she said no.  So there’s my argument to my husband and sister.  Done! I win!  The pediatrician said so.

I’m excited to tell you about a contest that Bath & Body Works has going on right now.. related to none other than.. hand sanitizer!

Bath & Body Works has inspired a clean hands craze with its custom collections of pocket-sized anti-bacterials that started with Bac-2-School PocketBacs that launched last year.

Bath & Body Works is giving fans the opportunity to put their own spin on the brand’s iconic PocketBac Hand Gel Sanitizers with the myPocketBac Design Contest. Bath & Body Works is inviting consumers to log on to www.myPocketbac.com to customize their Bath & Body Works PocketBac labels through June 9th.  The design contest puts the power of personalization in everyone’s hands, giving fans one more way to make PocketBacs their own.

The winning designs will be chosen by fan popularity, allowing Bath & Body Works customers to select the design that will end up on shelves. New winners will be selected this month AND next month, doubling their chances to win.

What are you waiting for?  Click on over to create your myPocketBac hand sanitizer design now!  Have fun!

NO PURCHASE NECESSARY.
Contest is open to legal residents of the 50 United States and the District of Columbia, age 18 or older at time of entry. Void where prohibited by law. Click here for entry details and deadlines and Official Rules.

Disclosure: Bath & Body Works is providing me with samples of Bath & Body Works PocketBac hand sanitizer for review purposes.  All opinions in this post are my own and are not influenced in any way.

Sony Invites Consumers To Imagine Their Lives In 3D

SONY INVITES CONSUMERS TO IMAGINE THEIR LIVES IN 3DNew Contest Harnesses the Power of Social Media; Highlights the Impact of 3D on Consumers’ Lives for Preserving Personal Memories

First there were 3D movies in theaters, then 3D TV in the home and 3D cameras. Now, for the first time, Sony is giving consumers a chance to have their most meaningful life event filmed in 3D through a social media-driven contest titled “Your Life in Sony 3D.” The grand prize: a 3D video of the winning idea – shot on Sony professional equipment and aired nationally on 3net, the 24/7 3D network recently launched by Sony, Discovery and IMAX.

Unveiled May 9 on Sony Electronics’ Facebook page at www.facebook.com/sonyelectronics, “Your Life in Sony 3D” invites consumers to be active participants in the 3D phenomenon. Entrants can submit a short event description along with a personal photo in any of four categories: Sports & Recreation, Arts & Entertainment, Cause & Community or Life Milestones & Events. After the four-week submission and voting period, the five most voted-on ideas, plus an additional five ideas selected by producers at 3net and Sony, will be chosen. These 10 finalists will then be judged by an expert panel — Buzz Hays, executive stereoscopic 3D producer for Sony’s 3D Technology Center in Los Angeles, and director Scott Stewart (“Priest”) — who will choose the contest winner.

“3D is delivering an entirely new type of entertainment experience that consumers want – whether it’s “Priest” on the big screen or the excitement of the World Cup on TV,” said Stuart Redsun, senior vice president, marketing communications, Sony Electronics. “Now, for the first time, consumers can be fully involved in the 3D process, and get to see their own stories told in 3D.”

“Our goal at 3net is to provide the most compelling and engaging in-home entertainment possible,” said Rod Riegel vice president, marketing and communications, 3net. “We believe that by integrating a unique, user-inspired component, we can demonstrate to consumers the kind of closest-to-real experience that only native 3D can deliver.”

In addition to local and national media exposure, the winner will also receive a hands-on tour of the 3D production truck used for the event, as well as an edited 3D video, a Sony 3D HDTV, 3D Blu-ray player, and 3D personal video cameras. The edited video of the event will air on the 3net channel as well as in Sony stores nationwide. A 2D version will also air on the Sony billboard in Times Square.

The “Your Life in 3D” contest will be promoted through a Facebook ad buy beginning May 13, a 3D promotional spot to air on 3net beginning May 13 as well as in 3D at Sony stores nationwide.  A 2D version of the spot will appear on 3net.com and Sony Electronics YouTube channel.  Banner ads will also run on Crackle.com.

The Mother of all Giveaways – We’re giving away a Mother’s Day prize package valued at over $300

A winner was chosen – Congratulations Linda!

I know what you’re thinking.. you don’t want to ask your husband for a Mother’s Day gift because it’s just a strange thing to do.  Right?  Or not?  There’s been a lot of hype about mothers asking their husband’s for a gift for Mother’s Day and I understand.. sort of.  My husband and I give each other a card but occasionally he’ll surprise me with a gift on Mother’s Day as I will do for him on Father’s Day.  I think that Mother’s Day gifts are best given by children to their own mother’s, not necessarily between husband and wife.  Anyway.. enough of what I think.

You still deserve something nice for Mother’s Day and…

We are giving one lucky reader the Mother of all Giveaways including these amazing gifts:
