According to a recent study, 87% of American adults experience stress when shopping during the holiday season, with auto-related activities causing the most stress during the holiday season (55%) - thanks in part to traffic jams and longer commutes (23%), or fighting crowds to find find a parking spot (21%). Thanks to Ford, we all have the opportunity to ease some of our holiday stress by entering to win a VIP shopping experience!
The contest is a part of Ford's "Escape" holiday stress campaign highlighting the launch of the 2013 Ford Escape. (My youngest sister just leased the 2012, and I can't wait to check hers out when we see her at Christmas! Of course, I really think she needs to plan an "escape" to visit us in NYC ;-) ) One of the things that I'm sure I'd use on a near daily basis is the hands-free liftgate, where you can open the trunk by kicking your foot in front of a sensor on the bumper. Such a useful feature for athletes toting equipment, pet lovers, and parents juggling babies, strollers and packages.
TO ENTER: Going on now through December 16th on the Ford Facebook page (http://www.Facebook.com/Ford), simply "Like" Ford and submit a tip for how you mitigate stress during the holiday season, and you'll be entered to win a hassle-free shopping experience including a chauffer and $500 shopping spree at the mall. You'll also be entered for their daily $25 gift card giveaway now through December 23rd.
If you haven't had a chance to check it out yet, be sure to enter this week. I'd love it if I knew one of their six grand prize winners!!
