Best Western® Hotels & Resorts continues to celebrate its 70 years of hospitality with “Smilebration,” a social media campaign that invites Best Western guests, hotel staff and social media followers from around the world the chance to take part in a variety of interactive online games and fun promotions, each one created to share how Best Western makes them smile.

“Best Western is thrilled to announce our Smilebration campaign,” said Dorothy Dowling, Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer for Best Western Hotels & Resorts. “For 70 years, we have been making our guests smile, and this initiative was designed in honor of the special memories our guests have experienced while staying at our brand’s 4,100 hotels around the world.”

A key day for the campaign is today, October 7, as it has been dubbed #BWSmiles Day, which coincides with World Smile Day – a day set aside by Harvey Ball, inventor of the smiley face, to devote smiles and kind acts throughout the world.

On #BWSmiles Day, Best Western invites social media followers to share what makes them smile with the hashtag #BWSmiles. The winner of the “70 Miles of Smiles” component of Smilebration will also be announced on #BWSmiles Day via the brand’s social media channels and the winner will receive 70,000 BWR points for their selfie shared from their recent travels. Best Western staff are also joining in on the day’s festivities, with a fun and engaging 360 Virtual Reality Video on the brand’s YouTube channel.

In addition to #BWSmiles Day, guests will have a variety of opportunities to engage with the brand and share their many reasons to smile.  Best Western Rewards® (BWR®) members are invited to “Share a Smile with Best Western Rewards” as well as donate their BWR points to their favorite charity in the Best Western Rewards store. Kids have also joined in on the Smilebration as they expressed what makes them smile in a Charming Video posted on the brand’s YouTube channel.

The campaign is running now through November 23. And as the celebration continues, be on the lookout for the “Spin for Smiles” online game where participants can enter to win exciting prizes.
