The Cranleigh Boutique has the largest Facebook following in its region, with more than 68,000 ‘likes’, and its set to get even bigger. They have pledged to give the entire hotel for a whole weekend to one lucky winner, when they reach 100,000 ‘likes’.
Owner of the Cranleigh Boutique, Stephen Hargreaves comments, “Social media is an incredible tool which we have fully embraced. Our Facebook campaign helps us communicate to people other forms of marketing fail to reach. Facebook has an amazing power which has helped shaped the Cranleigh into a booming business.”
The forward thinking Hotel, based in Bowness-on-Windermere has become infamous in the region for its enormously successful Facebook campaign, which has been hugely influential in transforming the business. The power of social media has helped the hotel reach levels of occupancy, that its competitors dream of.
The unique competition which hopes to increase ‘likes’ to 100,000 is offering one lucky winner the ‘Ultimate Prize’ – the opportunity for FREE use of the Cranleigh Boutique in its entirety, for the duration of a weekend and worth an estimated £8,000. With eighteen rooms available, the winner will receive the full use of the five star facilities to invite whomever they wish, with a champagne reception for all, on arrival.
The Cranleigh Boutique is inviting its Facebook followers to enter the competition on its Facebook page, by explaining in just 20 words, why they should win the ‘Ultimate Prize’. Upon reaching the target number of 100,000 ‘likes’,the 10 responses deemed the best by The Cranleigh Boutique will be published on Facebook, with the ultimate winner chosen by the followers themselves.
“We are thrilled to be able to launch the ‘ Ultimate Prize ’ competition, the sheer magnitude of which is very unusual.” said owner Stephen Hargreaves. “It’s our way of saying ‘thank-you’ to everybody for their support on Facebook. Enabling one winner to experience a luxurious stay in the beautiful Lake District, with family and friends, is really special. We are experts at the Cranleigh in offering the very best service combined with exceptional facilities and are delighted to be able to share that with one lucky person.”
The Cranleigh Boutique in Bowness-on-Windermere was founded in 2007 by owners Stephen and Louise Hargreaves and has become the destination of choice for those seeking a luxury break in the Lake District. In February of 2013, it was named the most romantic destination in the UK and 3rd in the world by travel site, Trip Advisor.
Together with eighteen designer rooms at the Cranleigh, and now the launch of exclusive boutique house -The Hideout – Stephen and Louise have created a very intimate offering and the ultimate accommodation experience in a beautiful setting.
With great vision for the future, Stephen and Louise will, in 2014, be launching their next project – a luxury accommodation experience on Lake Windermere, which will be unique. With more than 15 employees at the Cranleigh (12 from the local area), Stephen and Louise are committed to continuing to deliver exceptional customer service and promoting all that is great about the Lake District.
