Harrod’s London Holds Pinterest Contest to Inspire Royal-Themed Store Window

Harrod's Street Party Window Pinterest ContestHarrod’s Department Store in London is home to some of the most famous window displays in the world, but they’ve made the call to Pinterest to help design a very special window with the theme ‘Queen’s Diamond Jubiliee Street Party’. Harrod’s have posted an sample Pinterst board to help get participants creative juices flowing.

UK Pinterest users are asked to ‘pin’ images to a board they create with the title ‘Harrod’s Street Party Themed Window’. Once they’ve completed their board, they have to tweet @HarrodsofLondon with a link to the board and the hashtag #HarrodsWindows. The winner will be brought to London for the official unveiling of the window in May.

Deadline for entries in April 19.

Swedish Retailer Has Customers Suffering for Savings with Xmas Carol Torture Challenge

Pause Xmas Carol TortureI’ve never worked in retail, so I can’t imagine how people that work in stores keep it together from listening to Christmas carols played over and over and over again during the holiday season.

Swedish electronics retailer Pause and Geneva Sound Systems is putting their customers to that very challenge. Visit the X-Mas Carol Torture site and start listening to the cheery sounds of Jingle Bells on permanent repeat. The longer you can listen the more you can save (up to 25%) on purchases at the store. To keep you from simply walking away or stuffing cotton into your ears while you listen, you must click on Santa Claus when he randomly says his Ho Ho Ho’s. My personal best is a paltry 3:09. The discount will be sent to your email or directly to your mobile phone.

The visitors who can manage to listen for the longest are eligible to win one of three Geneva sound systems. But that won’t be easy, the top contender as of today somehow managed to listen for an incredible 2 hours, 32 minutes and 16 seconds.

But things could be worse though, at least they are not streaming Justin Bieber’s ‘Under the Mistletoe’.

The site was created by Stockholm agency Åkestam Holst.
