Hey everyone,
i want to share Sanrio's launch of the first of many custom tabs for their Hello
Kitty Facebook fan page.
The tab currently titled, gifts is aimed at
connecting Hello Kitty and Sanrio fans
by offering Facebook exclusive digital gifts.
A Twitter background, desktop background
and printable memos are just a few of the gifts the fans will be able to share
with their friends.
Above and beyond connecting fans the gifts tab delivers on Sanrio's brand
philosophy of "Small gift, big smile."
So, i'd like to give you a brief tutorial of how the application works.
When you're ready go to Facebook.com/HelloKitty and lets get dot com slash locating and let's get
started.
One thing to note if you're not a fan you will be automatically dropped onto the gifts
tab.
But if you are a fan you'll be dropped onto the wall
so click on the gifts tab at the top of the screen.
When you're ready to get started
click on the red send gift button at the bottom of the screen.
Now before I walk you through the process of sending a gift to one of your friends
I want to give you a brief description of the three navigational buttons at top of
the screen.
Send a gift does just what it sound like. It allows you to choose a gift to
send to as many friends as you like.
My gifts allows you to view and redeem gives that your friends have sent you
as well as view gifts get your friends have received.
And More from Sanrio simply redirects you to Sanrio.com.
So, let's get started sending a gift.
Read the descriptions of each gift and pick the one that you think is most
applicable to the friend that you would like to send it to.
To select a gift
all you have to do is click on the radio button below
the icon
or click on the icon itself.
When you selected the gift you'd like to send your friends
click on the red, send gift button at the bottom of the screen.
The next thing you will see is a custom window filled with all your friends.
Now to select a friend
all you need to do is click on their name
and they are automatically added to the queue to receive that gift.
To deselect a friend
click their name again
and their deselected from the queue to receive that gift.
Another way to select your friends
is to simply type their name.
So i'm gonna send this gift to my co-workers.
Lets start with Fleetwood.
Click on his name.
See Selected is changed to 1.
Now I can delete his name.
Type in Brandon's.
Click on him.
Selected is now changed to 2
and now I'm ready to send my gifts.
To send your gifts
click on Submit Selected Friends
at the bottom of the screen.
Now before these are delivered to their walls a Facebook prompt will pop-up
asking you if this is who you want to send the gift to and if this is the message that you
would like to see on their walls.
What's nice about his application
is you can customize the
message that you're going to send your friends
so that its tailored to them specifically.
Now i'm going to delete this message and customize a message for Fleetwood.
Happy
Tuesday Fleetwood.
Now i'm going to click publish to send this to his wall
For demonstration purposes and i'm going to leave this message as generic for Brandon.
and click publish to send it to his wall.
After a few seconds
each of these gifts are sent to my friends.
Now, lets see what those gifts looks like.
I'll start with Fleetwood.
As you can see up at the top the message that i said to him with the
gift directly below it.
Now lets go to Brandon's wall.
Now in order for Brandon to redeem this gift you can do one of three things.
He can click the link at the top of the gift,
click on the gets icon or click to view gifts.
i'm going to click view gifts.
Now, since i'm not Brandon i'm not able to see the gifts that his friends have sent to him.
But I can see gifts my friends have sent to me.
In order for you to redeem a gift your friend has sent
simply click the download button underneath the icon.
Once clicked your gift will download and you'll be able to open up a zipped
folder containing two things.
The first of which is the gift itself
and the second is a set of instructions to help set up the gift that you've received.
The second half of the my gifts page
allows you to see gifts your friends have received.
If you see a gift that a friend has received such as a Facebook picture
and they haven't received a Twitter background and you'd like to send one
all you have to do is click on the red send this gift link next to that icon
and it will bring you back to the send a gift page.
To recap
Send a gift does just what it sounds like. It allows you to send gifts to as
many friends as you want.
My gifts allows you to view and redeem gifts that your friends have sent you
as well as view gifts your friends have received
and more from Sanrio will redirect you to Sanrio.com for more interactive
fun.
