Free Hotel Rooms For Social Media Posts
Nordic Lights For Likes
Got any cash on you right now? I know I don’t – as a recent
graduate I fear opening my bank account. For in the absence of money evil creatures
have made shelter there. They've grown large after years of not being disturbed
and they've gained intelligence. However, a certain hotel is taking measures to help me stop
giving my financial woes horrific visages as it’s offering guests the
opportunity to stay there for free if you have a big social media presence.
You did read that right, I promise. The Nordic Light Hotel
in Stockholm, Sweden, will be accepting your social media presence as currency
to stay at the hotel. If you’re one of those popular folks who have 2,000 or
more Facebook friends you’ll be able to stay at the hotel free of charge. All you
have to do is make a post mentioning the hotel at check in and check out times.
You’ll even be able to stay for up to seven days.
Alternatively, if you have over 100,000 likes on your
Facebook page or 100,000 followers on Instagram you’ll get the same treatment
as those ever popular Facebookers. I bet they don’t even know 95% of their friends.
And that they've never met any of them more than once.
Usually, rooms at the hotel go from £230 for a night. Also,
if you’re not quite as popular to fit the brief for free stays, the hotel is offering
other discounts. If you have 500 or fewer friends, you’ll get a 5% discount and
if you have 1,000 or more, you’ll get 10% off instead.
Marcus Majewski, chief executive officer of the Nordic Light
Hotel, said the business considers social media posts to be a form of
"currency" as they provide marketing for the hotel.
"I am proud that we are the first hotel in the Nordic
region to offer this currency," He’s not wrong. This is a fantastic marketing approach and
utilizing social media in a fantastic way.
The hotel is rather luxurious as well; you won’t be staying
in some damp room with no heating while sharing your bed with spiders. The
hotel boasts a gorgeous Scandinavian interior with lighting effects used to
mimic the northern lights. Plus, we all know that the Scandinavians know how to
interior design. I’ve always said that I’m going to have my Danish grandma
decorate my house for me – She puts my interior decorating to shame.
With digital currencies such as Bitcoin becoming more
prominent. Or even Dogecoin, the currency based off the ever old ‘Doge’ meme
which sent the Jamaican bobsled team to the 2014 winter Olympics. It’s great to
see more unique forms of digital currency taking place. In a digital world, it’s
only natural that our currency becomes ever more digital as well.
So you better start chaining those friend requests and head
over to Sweden. Scandinavia is lovely over this period – You’ll never see
Christmas done as well as it’s done over there.
I think it’s time for me to head back to Denmark for a bit.
