I’m a recent Tweeter, just really starting to get into all the Twitter action this past May. A couple of weeks ago, I entered a Twitter only contest given by my all time favorite coffee company, Illy (@illyUSA, @illycaffe & @illyissimo). The contest asked Tweeters to name their favorite place in Italy and give the reason why. My original Tweet:
@illyissimo I’ve only been to Rome, but it was easily one of my favorite places in the world. So historic, beautiful & fashionable! #Italy
I then received a DM (direct message) from @illyissimo asking me for an address to ship a sample of either their new Mochaccino or their new Caffe No Sugar as a thank you for entering the contest, even though they chose another winner. I said “Surprise me!” Pictured below is what showed up on my doorstep on Monday, in two packages. One was a boxed sample of a Mochaccino, surrounded by wonderful smelling coffee beans in a pretty gold box, along with two pieces of Domori chocolate. The other was a huge box filled with two cans of each of their available flavors: Caffe, Caffe No Sugar, Cappuccino, Latte Macchiato, and Mochaccino (my mom ate one of the chocolates & my sister snagged one of the Caffe No Sugars before I could take the picture). Talk about a surprise! I now have enough coffee to get me through our trip to Las Vegas this 4th of July weekend. Thanks again Illy!
