Shangri-La is looking to
increase user engagement with an
Instagram contest called
Loving the Moment that allows consumers to vote for their favorite image.
“A luxury brand like Shangri-La uses
lifestyle images to inspire its audience and build its equity as an aspirational brand,” said Evan Nicholson, senior account manager at 5th Finger, San Francisco.
Love at first sight
Consumers must first download the Instagram iPhone or Android application.
Users are encouraged to take a picture of scenery or a moment in their lives that they love.
Consumers can then select a filter and use the
hashtag #LovingtheMoment.
On the Shangri-La Instagram site at
http://instagram.shangri-la.com, consumers can vote for their favorite image and share via Twitter, Facebook and Sina Weibo.
