On October 11, 2012 Sika Sarnafil launched its social media platforms through the Sika Sarnafil Virtual Scavenger Hunt.  In  honor of the new social media campaign, we want to let you know that in addition to accessing up-to-date content (e.g., maintenance tips, how-to advice, sustainability information and other educational insights),   all U.S. contractors, architects, engineers, and other commercial roofing industry professionals can enter the Sika Sarnafil Virtual Scavenger Hunt contest on Facebook for a chance to win dozens of prizes including 12 Amazon Kindles.

Sika Sarnafil’s Virtual Scavenger Hunt will be held over four weeks with four scavenger hunts from October 30th to November 25th, each open for one week from Tuesday, 1:00 pm ET to Sunday at 11:59 pm ET.  It is intended to test a player’s roofing IQ while providing valuable roofing information and tools.  Playing is simple.  Each player will receive a roofing clue leading to the “treasure.”  Players find the “treasure” as fast as they can to win.  In each hunt, the first three eligible players to submit their “treasure” successfully will be awarded an Amazon Kindle.  The next twelve players each week to submit their “treasure” successfully will receive a $15.00 Amazon gift card.  To sign up, please visit here today.

There is no purchase necessary to play or to win.  Winners of each hunt will be notified by email and announced on the Sika Sarnafil Facebook page every Monday.

“Our Sika Sarnafil Virtual Scavenger Hunt is intended to be fun and educational,” said Jay Thomas, Director of Marketing, Sika Sarnafil. “We developed the game to help introduce our valued customers and prospects to our various social media channels while also testing their roofing knowledge,” said Thomas. “We want to give industry professionals more opportunities to discuss commercial roofing topics – with us and each other – and to provide feedback and suggestions about our company and products.”
