Hersonissos Municipality Contest in Zoover & Griekenland.net

Be our Crete Reporter. Discover Hersonissos Municipality!

Promotion and statistics

Promotion Facebook app The Facebook app is developed by Bas Wanrooij from Griekenland.net with guidelines from Municipality of Hersonissos. This app was placed on the Facebook page of Zoover and Griekenland.net and functioned as an application form to enter the contest. Participants had to answer the question: How would you describe the real Crete?

Zoover website We have placed a poll (where do you discover the real Greece), two beautiful accommodations in Hersonissos and a link to the Crete Reporter page on the Zoover Weblog which contained all the information about the contest.

Zoover Newsletters We have mentioned the contest in two newsletters during the competition. The first newsletter was sent to all the MyZoover members. The second one was sent to all the Zoover newsletter subscribers. The newsletter that was sent to the MyZoover members was dedicated to Greece. It contained an Interview with a big fan of Greece, sightseeing tips and the results of the poll.
