Pinterest & Tourism: A Perfect Fit

Visit Bucks County is blogging on Patch! We are thrilled to start our first blog post by sharing an exciting new contest we are offering to our Pinterest fans!

Visit Bucks County is blogging on Patch! I’m Michelle Greco Falcone, Communications Manager of Visit Bucks County (VBC), and am thrilled to be representing the tourism office with weekly blog posts. As my first post, I’d like to introduce myself, Visit Bucks County and an exciting contest we are offering to all our Pinterest fans.

For the past four years, I’ve had the privilege of promoting Bucks County as a tourist destination through media relations and social media. I love sharing the excitement of Bucks County through Twitter (@VisitBucksPA) and Facebook, spreading the word about all of the popular attractions and hidden gems our wonderful county has to offer visitors and locals alike.  Each week, I’ll fill you in on special promotions, events, and contests. Be sure to follow along to join in on the conversation! 

What is Visit Bucks County? Visit Bucks County is the official tourism promotion agency for Bucks County. We are dedicated to increasing visitation by marketing Bucks County’s historic and cultural sites, attractions, accommodations and meeting venues. We also manage and operate three visitor centers located in Bensalem, Peddler’s Village and New Hope. Visit Bucks County is funded by the hotel room tax, a small percentage added to overnight stays throughout Bucks County.

Now let’s get social!  Are you on Pinterest? In January, Visit Bucks County became one of the first destinations in the country to use Pinterest to market tourism. We are consistently searching for creative ways to communicate with tourists and locals and our newly launched “Repin It To Win It” Contest is the perfect fit.

We’ve partnered with Bucks County attractions and businesses to compile a collection of nearly two dozen experiences and prizes and pinned them on our “Repin It To Win It Contest” board. All you have to do is repin the prize you want and you’re entered! The contest ends May 1.
