NEW: Governor Martinez Launches ‘New Mexico True Stories’ Summer Travel Promotion
Governor Martinez Monday helped launch the Tourism Department’s summer promotion, “New Mexico True Stories,” at the 2013 Governor’s Conference on Tourism in Albuquerque. The 14-week contest encourages people to travel the state this summer and share their True stories for a chance to be named the Ultimate New Mexico Insider and win a $5,000 cash prize.
“New Mexico True Stories” is an extension of the “New Mexico True” campaign, which was launched last spring in Texas, Colorado and Arizona. Throughout the state, billboards, TV, newspapers and on-line advertising will ask “Are you New Mexico True?” and direct New Mexicans to the Tourism Department’s website to share their True story.
The top vote getter will win a $5,000 cash prize, sponsored by Advanced Presentation Systems. During each of the twelve weekly prize periods, the story with the most votes will win a $450 gas card, sponsored by the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce, the City of Gallup and the Farmington Convention and Visitors Bureau. The Top 20 NM True Stories will be featured in the 2014 Vacation Guide, as the Ultimate New Mexico Insider’s Guide.
Visit http://www.newmexico.org/nmtruestories. True Story entries will be accepted through August 4, 2013. Finalist voting ends August 18.
NEW: Show Your True Colors – New Mexico Merchandise Store Opens Online
The “New Mexico True” campaign is little more than a year old, but it has already developed quite a following. The number of communities, businesses and destinations who have adopted the “New Mexico True” brand into their own advertising message is growing.
