Honda Hits 1 Million Facebook Fans – Launches “We’re Fans of You Too” Week
May 2, 2011 by HondaExperience, under Events.

Ever since Honda launched its Facebook page in August 2009, fans have shared hundreds of pictures, stories, videos and moments showing their love of Honda. As Honda hits the one million fan mark, it wants to return the love with “We’re Fans of You Too” Week on Facebook.
Every day during “We’re Fans of You Too” Week, Honda will pay tribute to its more extraordinary Facebook fans with some personal appreciation. For example:
* When a fan carved a Honda logo on their lawn, Honda carved that fan’s name into their corporate headquarters next to the main entrance.
* When a fan revealed his love for Honda with his Honda logo tattoo, Honda’s vice president of marketing got an airbrushed tattoo of the fan’s name and face. (Common – you didn’t think he’d get a real tattoo, did you?)
* When a fan got a special Honda haircut, a Honda associate got that fan’s name carved in his hair.
“We’re honored to have one million Honda brand Facebook fans and we wanted to show our appreciation in a meaningful way,” said Alicia Jones, social media strategist at American Honda Motor Co., Inc. “How many people do you know who would carve someone else’s name into their hair? We’re so fortunate to have amazing and dedicated Honda brand fans. And, that’s the kind of commitment our associates have to our fans. We really do love them back.”
Every day this week, Honda will say thank you to its most dedicated fans in some special ways like the ones mentioned above, in addition to revealing some special surprises. Visit http://facebook.com/Honda to follow the daily updates during “We’re Fans of You Too” Week. You can also follow San Tan Honda on Facebook for special announcements about upcoming sales, specials and events in your backyard. Go to http://facebook.com/SanTanHonda.
