Palm Harbor Tanning Salon uses Social Media Games

The Hot Spot Tanning Co. had a fill-in-the-caption contest.

The Hot Spot Tanning Co., is a great place to catch a tan if you live in northern Pinellas, western Hillsborough, or southern Pasco. Recently, it ran an interesting contest on its Facebook page. Or, should we say, a marketing firm called Crowd Smart Media, operated a contest on Hot Spot's behalf on Hot Spot's Facebook page.
In any event, three photographs appeared on the tanning salon's Facebook page, and folks were asked to fill in the caption. (The hoighty-toighty magazine, "The New Yorker", does this, too).
One of the photographs was of a bride holding a golf flagstick while her bridegroom was trying to put a ball into the hole beneath her. Here's the photo, and below the photo are the suggested captions and the winning one.


The winning caption, from Jennifer Falcetano: "I wanna have kids, so let's check out your aim."

Other suggested captions:
"If you get this hole in one, then maybe later you'll get my ......"
"What a girl will do to get a guy to MARRY her."


Here's a photo of a boating scene we believe speaks for itself.


The winning caption, from Heather Sparrow: "Got bait?"

And, finally, here's a photo of a man about to eat a rather large hamburger.


The winning caption, from Tammy Peak Wheeler. "Made sure I wore my helmet....so I don't hurt myself Mmmmnnnn."

Other suggested captions:
"Fat people gotta eat too."
"A big Burger for a big man."
"Can I have some burger with my pickles please."

Tammy Peak Wheeler's caption for the hamburger eater was considered the best of the best – the best caption of the three that won (if you follow) – so Hot Spot Tanning is going to do right by her with free tanning, or free products, or the like, according to Jeremy Bufford of Crowd Smart Media.
