If you’ve taken a ride on a CTA train or bus lately, or waited on a platform for a Metra train to arrive, we may have bumped into you. I-GO is currently running an ad campaign on public transit. The ad pictured here is one of several variations on the same theme: I-GO is an affordable, convenient, and environmentally conscious alternative to owning a car.
To make things really interesting, we’ve added a contest angle: If you spot an ad, tell us where you saw it and we’ll award $100 in free driving to the member who reports the most sightings on our Facebook page and/or Twitter stream. We’ve already given away one prize, and we’ve got two to go. The second month of the contest ends June 7, so it’s not to late to compete for this sweet prize. Here are the rules:
- Our ads are on CTA rail cars and buses and CTA and Metra platforms. When you spot one, take note of the rail line, bus route number, or station.
- Into Twitter? Tweet the deets to “igocarsharing” on Twitter.com via your fave Twitter mobile app or PC. Even better: Snap a photo of an ad with your phone and attach it to your tweet. Prefer Facebook? Fan us at www.facebook.com/igocars and post the info on our wall.
- If you feel so inclined, use the hash tag “#igocta” in your tweet to chat us up on Twitter.
- We’ll announce the first winner on June 7 on our blog, Facebook page, and on Twitter.
Know someone who should be an I-GOer but isn’t yet? Tell ‘em to text us when they spot an ad. The keywords and short codes are on each ad. When someone texts us, we’ll send them a promo code good for a discounted $25 sign-up. And if they name a current I-GO member as a reference on their application, we’ll add $20 in free driving to your account!
