Saratoga Hair Salon Runs Weekly Facebook Makeover Giveaway

June 20th, 2011 by Shannon-Rose Design

Local Saratoga Springs hair salon, Hair Creations, is running a 6-month long giveaway: weekly makeovers to a woman who is voted on via their Facebook page.

Women are nominated and their photos and “stories” are posted on the salon’s Facebook page, where voting lasts during the week. We’ve found Facebook giveaways are an incredible way to increase your fan base and spread the word about your brand; Ruby & Quiri’s Freebie Fridays giveaway is still going strong, and inching up on 5,000 fans, from the look of things.

The giveaway started this month, so it will be interesting to see how their 500+ fans grows from here.

It could not endorse violence, but had to appeal to the aggressive nature of the sport. The name encompassed a full swing of a lacrosse stick, a wild punch, and the time of year it will be played. I focused on the Harvest/Halloween time of year, and wanted to somehow get a screaming character into the artwork. The lacrosse ball would be my main focus of the illustration. [Read more →]
