Pizzas !! yumm :) . We all love them , and Domino's Pizza , is the pizza-chain which seems to be delivering more pizzas to our campus , than they are serving in their outlet . Its popularity among the students is unparalleled . And this time it was the social networking site "Facebook" , that lead to a new milestone in its popularity . All thanks to a hot and happening contest , started by domino's pizza India group.Super Fan Of The Day - The contest was simple and alluring , as it just required the participant to upload a pic of their's on domino's pizza fb page , and the prizes that could be won were :
- Rs. 2500 worth of gift vouchers / coupons .
- a Super Fan Of The Day t-shirt , and
- a Super Fan Of The Day mug .
It was the perfect contest for people of our group , as we have a large gang of 25+ close friends and then we have around 150+ batch-mates . Then there are seniors , friends of friends and so on , and all connected through facebook .It seemed to be a cake -walk for us , and the first person to jump into the fight-club was none other than , our "neta" - Pranav Goyal a.k.a Aslam bhai.
With a friend list of 500+ friends , and then having a huge friend support ( both from boys' and girls' side !! ) and we all being well-aware of his "jugaadoo" abilities , we were quite confident of his victory . He uploaded quite a funny picture of him bathing in a waterfall , :D , but who cared about the pic , as all that was to be counted was "the number of comments" . And then poured in , huge amounts of comments , with many of us doing chatting via commenting on his pic , so that we increase his number of comments . But , as we know , when your day is bad , nothing can stop your failure :P . Same happened with him , since as per rules of the contest ( Pranav was not aware of !! :P ), only unique comments were to be counted , and even though he had highest number of unique comments for that day , but due to reckless commenting done by us , his comment count reached 800 , and organizers , feeling that something was fishy , kind of disqualified him . :P
He was disappointed , angry , and ready for a revenge !! He posted a lot of queries asking questions from domino's , but all in vain .
With his chance lost , he asked another one of our group's member Shashank Sharma , to run for the contest . He followed his footsteps , but this time ended with a positive result . He won !! and won big time . Then there was a girl from our batch , who managed to win too ( getting comments from many unknown people , which even posted their contact numbers for her !! ) ,thanks to her cute features :P .Seeing these people win , many of us got excited to take part .
But till now , the people who were commenting for these people , had got annoyed from regular requests of "please comment !! " , and some of them had even stopped responding :P . Many of the seniors and batch-mates started felt it amusing that how for a few free pizzas , people were putting so much effort . But , as it is said , free and easy things are to be won !! Not Left . So , me and one of my friend too , participated later in the contest and won it !! . It was like , our batch-mates were trying to rob domino's , and our pics going all over the net getting famous !! :D .
After a successful stampede at the contest ,the winners ( and their friends :P ) , are eagerly waiting for the prizes to arrive . And FYI , Pranav is still running for the contest in which you have to get highest number of comments in a duration of 2 weeks :P . Lets hope , luck favors him this time .
All praises to domino's for the contest ( in return they got a record number of page visits and large number of people joining their group !! ) , as it was quite an ingenious publicity idea by the company . Hoping to see some more of such contests from their side in future .
