Honda to Host First-Ever Trick-or-Treating Event on Twitter
For the first time ever, ghouls, goblins, ghosts and other costumed creatures will be able to trick-or-treat on Twitter on Fri., Oct. 31 by tweeting @Honda a photo of themselves in costume with the hashtag #TreatPromo. Honda will reply to eligible people with a link to a coupon for a free box of MIKE AND IKE® candy as well as a link to a spooky Vine video.
Five eerie Vine videos feature the redesigned CR-V opening up when trick-or-treaters come to Honda 's door, so to speak.
Honda will use promoted tweets with video cards to announce the effort on Twitter. Both brands will also organically promote the effort on social media—Honda on Facebook and Twitter and MIKE AND IKE® on Facebook and Twitter.
"In the spirit of Halloween, we wanted a simple and unique way to show some appreciation to our fans. Innovation is at the heart of our brand. Why not look at innovating something as fun as trick or treating?" said Tom Peyton, AVP, Advertising and Marketing at Honda.
