Visit Voskos Greek Yogurt on Facebook, and you could end up visiting the product's homeland. As the winner of the Voskos Win a Trip to Greece Giveaway Sweepstakes, you and a companion could enjoy a five-day, four-nights trip for two to Greece, to the destination of your choice—either Athens, Crete or Mykonos. Including airfare and hotel stay, the approximate retail value of the sweepstakes prize is $5,000. The sweepstakes is Voskos Greek Yogurt's way of thanking, engaging and rewarding its “focus group” of Facebook fans.
"Greek Yogurt is taking America by storm," says Nielsen, Sun Valley Dairy's marketing director. Sun Valley Dairy is a family-owned California firm that makes Voskos brand Greek yogurt. "According to the Nielsen Company," (no relation), "sales in the Greek Yogurt product category are up over 200% in the U.S. in the past year," says Nielsen. "The previous trip to Greece sweepstakes was almost as popular as Voskos Greek Yogurt," she laughs. "Response was huge, and the winners are enthusiastic consumers of Voskos Greek Yogurt . Although no purchase is necessary to win, and the sweepstakes is open to both customers and non-customers alike, we were glad that the winners of our first Greece vacation sweepstakes were already fans of our product."
"We want to thank our customers and our over 65,000 Facebook friends for their loyalty and support by offering another chance to win a vacation to Greece," says Voskos spokesperson, Vanessa Nielsen. "We know consumers shop around for quality, taste and value. A fan page is merely a bunch of fans who typically are fans of something besides our products. Therefore, in today’s new rules of marketing, we’re keen on conversational marketing that allows us to listen to our audience, engage, converse, and stimulate with our readily available and passionate ‘focus group’. It's important to us as a company to connect with our consumers and fans individually and as a whole, and Facebook is a great medium to get instant feedback."
