#DearSanta #ForTheWin

The SMCpros team had a great time this holiday season, making a few Christmas' brighter and hopefully a few smiles wider along the way! 

 

The SMCpros elves helped out Santa and delivered Season's Greetings through social media this year for Christmas! This could have been done by posting a "Dear Santa" request to the SMCpros Facebook wall, mentioning the @SMCpros with a #DearSanta hashtag on Twitter, replying to our YouTube video or making a post on the SMCpros Google+ page. After checking the posts twice, each elf chose one winner and there were two winners each day from December 20th all the way up to December 23rd!

 

How it All Started

Congratulations Jessica and Kids!

Welcome Home Tim!

Merry Christmas to Battle-Axe Nelson and Diane!

The Elves Choose Terren and Cheryl!

#DearSanta Wraps Up with Presents for Eva and Kelly! 

  

Any businesses wanting social media advice this year though, don't hesitate to send us your questions and inquiries because EVERY business that does so before the end of the year will get a social media encyclopedia as well as a FREE consultation between January and February 2012.

The SMCpros team had a great time as elves, but now we're making predictions rather than toys! Here's what we're looking forward to and predicting for the new year:
