SWOMfest is happening in Austin on Thursday, October 30. Huh? ... SWOMfest? Yes, SWOMfest.
The Society for Word of Mouth (SWOM) is putting on a one-day conference which promises to share how companies can bake Word-of-Mouth into their business. Jackie Huba and Ben McConnell are the folks behind SWOM and given their experience as world-class marketers, best-selling business book authors, and sought-after speakers … you know this event will deliver upon its promise.
I’m going and so should you.
I believe YOU should go so much that I’m giving away a FREE TICKET to SWOMfest ($325 value).
Oh, but there’s a hoop you must jump through to get your FREE TICKET to SWOMfest …
Yep … you gotta write the coolest Haiku to get your pass to SWOMfest. Submit your Haiku in the comments section of this post and I’ll choose the coolest/funkiest/bestest one as the winner.
The entry deadline is FRIDAY, October 3 at 11:59pm (CST).
A winner will be announced on SATURDAY, October 4.
Need Haiku guidance? It’s a 3 line poem. The first line has 5 syllables, second line has 7 syllables, and the third line has 5 syllables.
Happy Haikuing.
** One comment per person. And make it word of mouth related. This is for a free ticket to a Word of Mouth Conference. Thanks. **

Do not ask the Way.
Ask if sky is blue, then you
will have word of mouth.
