Chapman Facebook fan wins $2,012 to start year

Las Vegan Colton Clifton received a $2,012 check recently from Chapman Chrysler Jeep in the Valley Automall. He won the prize when he was randomly chosen as winner of Chapman Chrysler Jeep and Chapman Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram's 2012 Facebook fan building promotion on New Year's Eve.

"I bought my 2007 Chrysler 300C here and I've always stayed in touch with the dealership for service and parts," Clifton said. "I'm a Facebook fan of both Chapman dealerships so I can get up-to-the-minute news and deals. I never thought I'd win money on top of that."

The contest started Dec. 9 and asked Facebook users to "like" Chapman's pages for a chance to win $2,012. If a user "liked" both pages, he or she would be entered in the contest twice.

"Facebook has been a great way for us to interact with our fans and customers after the vehicle or service has been purchased," said Gary Brewer, general manager of Chapman Chrysler Jeep. "Now that we've been on Facebook for over a year, we thought we'd give our loyal followers a fun and lucrative way to start 2012."

In addition to their Facebook pages, both Chapman dealerships are social media active on Twitter (@NevadaCJ and @VegasDCJ), YouTube and Foursquare. Promotions, prizes and daily specials are common. Free giveaways already have included an iPad, tune-ups, oil changes, Chapman hats and T-shirts.
