Social media has taken the marketing world by storm with sites like Twitter, MySpace, Facebook, etc. An old faithful friend of marketing is a contest. Online contests are a great way to gather information from the people who are visiting your website. From one of my Twitter Followers, I learned about a contest yesterday that has these two worlds colliding. If you Twitter, then you can enter this contest to win a variety of prizes, which are drawn on a weekly basis. In order to be entered for the drawings, you have to Twitter about the contest. For an added chance to win, you can blog about the contest.

This is the perfect example of how marketing is not a one time mailing or creation of a brochure. Marketing is a process that requires multiple steps and the use of multiple mediums. In this case the use of a contest (marketing 101), Twitter (social media), and blogging (social media).
