Cox and Kings celebrate Tours to India

The world’s longest established travel company, Cox & Kings celebrated its collection of tours to India this month, with an interior design challenge for UK bloggers.

Using “India” as inspiration and theme and using a small budget donated by Cox & Kings, six UK interiors, home and style bloggers were challenged to make over one room each in their home.

As well as keeping readers up to date with posts on their progress, ‘before’ and ‘after’ photographs of each of the rooms were uploaded onto Cox & Kings UK Facebook page, where voting for the winning room took place by fans and followers ‘liking’ the pictures. The Cox & Kings UK team and bloggers used a ‘hashtag’ on Twitter to communicate their progress and promote their own entries to the competition on Facebook.

Mike Pullman, online marketing manager says: “We have been thrilled with the response to our Indian inspired interiors challenge. As well the innovative and creative room make-overs from some of the country’s best interiors blogs, the response from our Cox & Kings UK fans on Facebook and Twitter exceeded our expectations, with more than 1,000 votes cast on Facebook and more than 80 tweets during the four week long voting period. However, we couldn’t have brought this campaign to life without the incredible support from the bloggers we worked with on this project, so our thanks go out to all of them.”

The bloggers involved in the challenge were:
• Thatsyummymummy.net
• Cosyhomeblog.com
• Homegems.net
• TheStylePAatHome.com
• MaryPoppins-HomeSweetHome.blogspot.co.uk
• Bibbity-Bob.blogspot.co.uk

The blogger with the most popular make-over was MaryPoppins-HomeSweetHome who won a weekend break to Tallinn from Cox & Kings.
