Brands often ask fans for likes, shares and follows on social
media. Sometimes, to show their thanks, brands do cool and
unexpected things to give back to their social media fans.
More than any online interactions, it’s these instances of
brands turning online relationships into real-life experiences
for their fans and followers that make brands seem more
human. Check out these ten examples of brands that found
ways to surprise and reward their fans in real life. None of
these examples are grand productions. It just shows that even
small gestures from brands to their fans can create a large
impact.
Many Nigerian makes a living from promotional offers and am one of them

10. Virgin Atlantic
As part of its “Flying in the Face of Ordinary” campaign, in
March Virgin Atlantic decided to send its marketing team and
cabin crew members to cheer up people in Boston by making
special deliveries and doing good deeds for people who weren’t
having the best of days. The airline brand looked at its Twitter
followers to find people in Boston tweeting about things like
having to wait in the snow for a train or other everyday
annoyances. The Virgin Atlantic team reached out to these
people via Twitter direct messages to locate them and arrange
things like delivering 100 cupcakes to a blogger and his
coworkers and giving a women a ride to a business meeting
and preparing her for the cold with a pair of gloves and a hat.
Virgin Atlantic brought this effort to other cities too, like
Washington and New York.

9. Samsung
Last August, Samsung customer Shane Bennett took to Facebook
to ask the mobile phone brand for a free Galaxy X3. Bennett
also included a cute drawing of a dinosaur going “rawr,” you
know, for brownie points. Samsung responded playfully
explaining why it couldn’t give him a free phone and also
included a drawing of a kangaroo on a unicycle to return the
drawing favor. The whole exchange obviously ended up on
Reddit and created a lot of positive buzz for Samsung, so
Samsung ended up actually giving Bennett a free Galaxy X3
with a custom design: Bennett’s dinosaur drawing. That’s a
pretty awesome gift from a brand.

8. GLOBACOM NIGERIA
Globacom recently give out Mercedes benz G-Wagon to one of this loyal customer
as grand prize, an all-
expense paid trip for 10 subscribers to the UK to watch a live Manchester United
match and N10,000 airtime for 1000 subscribers. glo is making it big for Nigerian and am proud of them
