TownePlace Suites by Marriott and The Container Store Search For Travel Tale During Selfie With a Suitcase Promotion
Bethesda, Md., 2015-5-5 — /Travel PR News/ — Imagine the stories your suitcase could tell – packed, unpacked, overhead storage, cargo, security check, lost and found in a new destination. With the thrills and excitement associated with frequent travel, a suitcase has one interesting life. Everyday trekkers discuss their adventures with family, friends and social media followers but what would your suitcase say if it could talk? Where would it take you and why? TownePlace Suites by Marriott® and The Container Store® are conducting a selfie-worthy contest to find the most interesting suitcase tale.
For those who need a little push to get them going, during The Container Store’s Travel Sale, now through June 21, all locations of The Container Store and TownePlace Suites will host selfie stations ready to snap pictures of travelers and their suitcases. Dress-up, be creative and submit your answer to the age-old question “if my suitcase could talk, where would it take me and why.”
The traveler and the suitcase that pours its heart out will win a Grand Prize, 4-night getaway at a TownePlace Suites of their choice (value $1,000) and $500 in The Container Store travel essentials. The Grand Prize winner will be evaluated on originality, photo quality and caption creativity. There will also be weekly and voter prizing at random. So grab your friends, find your favorite filter and get ready for some fun courtesy of TownePlace Suites and The Container Store!
