A
hotel in Sweden is offering accommodation to those with a high number of
Facebook friends and/or Instagram followers. If you have either more than 2,000
Facebook friends, 100,000 on a fan page or
over 100,000 followers on Instagram, the hotel offers you a free seven-night
stay at the luxury hotel, which will usually cost you £260 per night.
So what do you have to do? All you have to do is post when you make the reservations,
when you check in, when you check out and you have to tag the hotel's website and Facebook page. The same rules apply
for those on Instagram, in all posts, guests must use #nordiclighthotel and tag Nordic Light
Hotel when you're there and have checked-in.
The hotel believes by doing this “they increase
their income by accepting personal social networks as currency.” The CEO of the
hotel commented on this bizarre giveaway by saying that he believes that “the
promotional benefits outweigh the cost of giving away free hotel rooms”.
And
for guests who are not quite so popular on social media, but have a fair share amount
of friends or followers the Nordic Light Hotel has something to offer too.
