The CEO of online shoe retailer Zappos likes to throw out quickie contests via his Twitter account. There’s a new one going on that’s right up our alley - but you gotta be fast! Deadline is 11:59 PM on May 5th. (That’s today.)
We think our order confirmation emails lack pizzazz. They just aren’t fun, weird and “Zappos-ish” enough. So who better to help us make them better than you (since you’re the ones who read them!)?
Below is our standard email confirmation. Send your revised versions to [email address]. The winner will recieve FREE SHOES! (and they’ll become a part of Zappos Zeta history)!
The winning entry will be the most entertaining entry that we feel best exhibits the Zappos core values and personality.
Tony will pick a winner and notify them via email. All entries must be received by 11:59 PM PST on May 5th, 2008.
Details here. Good luck!
