We thought it would be a fun exercise&#8230; but hey, we are supposed to get paid for this sort of advice/consulting/creative brainstorming!! So we decided we&#8217;d post a handful of ideas here (10, in fact!), then post a &#8220;tweet&#8221; to our Twitter account with a link to our ideas!</p>
<p><strong>1. VirginAmerica &#8220;Hashtag&#8221; -</strong> Allow consumers to tweet things they&#8217;ve never done but always wanted to do&#8230; that is, they are &#8220;virgins&#8221; of (for example: I&#8217;ve always wanted to skydive #VirginAmerica).  Within means, Virgin will pick winners randomly and fly them to a destination where they get to do whatever is they&#8217;ve never tried.</p>
<p><strong>2. HFWIF? (How far will it fly) -</strong> Tweet a HFWIF message once per week containing some nugget of insight into Virgin&#8217;s &#8216;spectacular&#8217; service. Every Twitter user who retweets is entered to win Elevate miles.  So the tweet &#8216;flies&#8217; through the twittersphere&#8230; if that&#8217;s even possible to measure <img src='http://www.socialmediaplayground.com/wordpress/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Then DM some code to redeem the miles.</p>
<p><strong>3. TweetSeat! &#8211; </strong>Tweet your flight/seat # and locate your to-be in-flight neighbors via Twitter</p>
<p><strong>4. VirginAmerica Word Association Game</strong> &#8211; Play a fun word association game for new followers (say a VA tag word &#8211; new follower can @ reply with what it first conjures in their mind) x # of people who play win something</p>
<p><strong>5. Virgin = _____  -</strong> have people fill in the blank @ virgin america, give out elevate miles or free drinks for creative answers</p>
<p><strong>6. New Twitter Geo-tag -</strong> What if there&#8217;s some new kind of tag for location like:</p>
<blockquote><p>Having lunch in [Paris, France] with @myfriend</p></blockquote>
<p>Then you can geocode it. Create a mashup like <a href="http://www.twittervision.com" target="_blank">TwitterVision</a>, but only take locations from tweets (versus users&#8217; profile location)</p>
<p><strong>7. Where in the world is&#8230;? -</strong> have people do some Where&#8217;s Waldo type of search based off of clues Virgin puts out about &#8216;where they are&#8217; that day</p>
<p><strong>8. Elevate Your Followers -</strong> Randomly give out Elevate miles for every x # of new followers</p>
<p><strong>9. RED-commendations &#8211; </strong>Have people nominate songs and then vote for additions to the RED system</p>
<p><strong>10. Conversation Starters -</strong> Have fun hypothetical seat chat sessions (playing off their in-flight conversation starters) &#8211; give away Elevate miles</p>
<p>To our friends at Virgin America, we&#8217;ll assume that our check is in the mail? <img src='http://www.socialmediaplayground.com/wordpress/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Or at least how about some Twitter love!</p>
