Instagram Giveaway from CLUBMAN and barber influencer Tyrik Jackson partner up to promote new products

We started working last year with a company called American International Industries (AII Beauty). They are mostly known by their over 60 different beauty and skin care brands. These brands include Andrea, Ardell Beauty, Body Drench, China Glaze, CLUBMAN Pinaud, EzFlow, GiGi, Hollywood Fashion Secrets, ibd Beauty and Salon Perfect to name a few.

We’ve been assisting them with running many sweepstakes, or giveaways as they prefer to call them, each month for their different brands. Most of these are promoted on the Instagram pages for each brand. This year they have been partnering with different influencers to help spread the news about these giveaways and their products. Right now they launched a new giveaway yesterday that they are partnering with Tyrik Jackson for the CLUBMAN Pinaud brand.  The brand was originally founded in France in 1810, and today its CLUBMAN line of men’s toiletries can be found in virtually every barber shop and men’s club across the United States. These products include colognes, after shave lotions, skin and hair tonics, talcs, deodorants, hair-care products and shave creams.

Tyrik Jackson is is known as the Millionaire Barber who is a Coach, Mentor, Educator Founder and owner of Premier Barber Institute and Sharper Image Barbers. He has 36.8K followers on Instragram, @iamtyrikjackson, and offers the Tyrik Jackson app available for download in iTunes.

CLUBMAN is providing the prizes for this Barber Box and Aftershave Lotion Giveaway. One Grand Prize winner will receive a newly released CLUBMAN Barber Box which includes one of each of the following: Classic Clubman Aftershave, Charcoal Face Mask, Clubman Shave Oil, Molding Putty, Light Hold Pomade, Classic Barber Shave Cream, Beard & Tattoo Oil, No Bumps Gel, Head Shave Gel and Clubman Finest Powder. One First Prize winner will receive three newly released liquor inspired CLUBMAN Aftershaves, one Whiskey Woods, one Brandy Spice and one Gent’s Gin.  Participants need to follow both @Clubmanpinaud and @iamtyrikjackson, then re-post the #Join the Club Giveaway photo shown here on their Instagram page and use the hashtags #ClubmanPinaud, #Clubmanbarberbox, #Tyrikclubmangiveaway and #Free99.

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette launches the Slide, Scratch & Win Instant Win Game with $15,500 worth of prizes

A new promotion for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette just kicked off this week that we are again assisting them with. A few months back we helped them run the Slide Into a Grand Sweepstakes which coincided with the launch of their NewsSlide app in order to encourage downloads. Their new promotion, the Slide, Scratch & Win Instant Win Game is to further help to continue the goal of increasing awareness and downloads of the app.

Once people have downloaded the app they need to navigate to the ad that promotes the sweepstakes within the app. Once they find it they first need to submit their name and email address in the required fields on the entry form. After that’s completed they can then play the game to find out if they are an instant winner.

Entrants are invited to play the game once per day during the sweepstakes period. Ten winners per day have the chance to win the $500 in daily prizes which are two $100 prizes, one $75 prize, two $50 prizes and five $25 prizes. The game runs for  31 days, until April 4, and includes a total 310 winners of $15,500 in prizes. All the prizes will be awarded in the form of an Amazon eGiftCard. We’ve been working with PG’s agency, Garrison Hughes, who is also based in Pittsburgh and who created the instant win mechanic.

The PG NewsSlide app contains new technology that attempts to take the daily newspaper audience beyond what is possible with the print edition by providing a deeper, more immersive relationship that includes text, video, animation, photographs and interactive elements including charts, graphs and maps. The platform runs on both iPhone and Android mobile devices including tablets and can be downloaded for free from the iTunes or Google Play Store.

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette received just over 2,000 entries into the Slide Into a Grand Sweepstakes which amounts to more than 2,000 downloads of the NewsSlide App. They will be promoting the new Instant Win Game on Facebook, so we’ll see if we can beat that number with this promotion.
