Return of the Duck
Love a duck – travel and hospitality recruitment specialist TMS Asia-Pacific is offering industry personnel a really simple opportunity to win the accessory that just about everyone wants these days – a state of the art Apple iPhone.
And taking part is as easy as boiling an egg!
The travel and hospitality recruitment specialist has this week begun flooding the local industry with hundreds of bright yellow rubber ducks as a prelude to the launch of an online ‘Lucky Duck’ challenge game which industry staff need to play – and ‘beat’ – in order to enter into the draw for the iPhone.
Playing the game is simplicity itself.
All participants need to do is log onto the TMS website at www.tmsap.com and follow a link to the ‘Lucky Duck’ game and do their best to beat it.
The arcade style game revolves around saving 10 ducks by ‘catching’ them with a lifebuoy before they fall into a plughole.
Once participants have ‘cracked’ level two, the online game will ‘whisk’ them off to a third section where they can then enter their names and details into the draw for the iPhone which is valued at more than $800.
And that’s all there is to it.
Hatching the concept, TMS General Manager Australia/New Zealand, Ainslie Hunt said while the game was intended to be a lot of fun, participants should remember that the game is best played outside of office hours.
The winner of the iPhone will be announced in the first week of October.
This is the second time TMS has used its ‘Lucky Duck’ concept to good ‘egg-fect’.
A previous incentive involved industry staff taking a snapshot of their duck in action doing anything, anywhere in the world to qualify for a $1500 travel voucher.
The results were more than memorable with some very creative entries received.
These included one very memorable photograph of a ‘not so lucky’ duck hanging up by its feet in the front window of a Beijing restaurant alongside several more traditional – and very well-cooked – Peking ducks on the menu that day.
