It’s Day 7 of the Social Media Challenge presented by Spark Business from Capital One! Guess who’s participating? Kelapo! Kelapo Coconut is listed under Small Business category for the Tampa Bay region. There are 144 participants in this category, which is defined has any business with 1-99 employees. In my opinion, it’s a little unfair that a company with 99 employees can compete against a company with 5! Isn’t there a micro category!?!
But life isn’t fair and that’s how it goes. So super competitive me wants to win this challenge and make Goliath fall. How competitive am I? I sprint to the finish lines in 5k’s just because I want to beat another competitor by a half second.
Back to the social media challenge, we didn’t realize until the day it started that we were selected as a participant, so we were a little bit behind the 8-ball. After day 1, we had collected 14 points. Day 5, 25 points. Day 7, 100 points! Currently, we are in 28th place out of the 144 teams. That’s top 20%. Not good enough yet! To advance in this competition, you have to place in the top 8 to be entered into a bracket style tourney challenge. We need to advance at least 20 more places before the last day, June 19th.
All these stats and I haven’t even said how we amass points! There is a super secret algorithm that calculates total number of Twitter followers, Facebook likes, LinkedIn Followers, and votes directly on the BizJournals website. Each day at 7am new totals are announced. If you haven’t already helped Kelapo, now is your chance to get us into Round 2!
