Neiman Marcus Creates Holiday Social Shopping Contest

Neiman Marcus is hoping you'll use social shopping this season to make your wish lists known. The luxury department store has created the Presents Perfect Challenge that has participants create wish lists for a chance to win a $2,500 Neiman Marcus gift card. The contest was developed in partnership with social media marketing firm Brickfish. Lists can also be shared via Facebook and Twitter.

The "Presents Perfect Challenge - Round 1" asks consumers to create online gift guides from a selected collection of Neiman Marcus fashions and accessories. Entrants must select at least ten items from the following: handbags, woman's shoes, jewelry, beauty, home, woman's apparel, men's apparel, gadgets, gifts, men's shoes, men's furnishings, intimate, children's and accessories. From all of the entries submitted and the items selected, each week the program will populate the most popular gift items and display the Top Ten. A total of 40 finalists will be selected from Round 1 to move onto Round 2 for the chance to win a $2,500 gift card. Round 2 will begin on or around December 6th, 2010 and ends on or around December 27th, 2010. Five finalists will be selected from each of the eight gift recipient categories. The second round will shorten the list to three prize winners. One winner receives a $2,500 Neiman Marcus gift card, a first runner-up earns a $1,000 dollar card and the second runner-up gets a $500 card.

I've written before about closed online shopping communities but for the most part they have remained relatively limited. That might change a bit with the latest partnership. Long-standing closed social network A Small World has partnered with online luxury fashion site Net-A-Porter to let members of A Small World access and shop directly from the latest international designer collections. Members of A Small World can log on to a special Net A Porter micro site that features the latest looks from over 200 brands including many limited edition items. The site will be updated on a weekly basis and will also have gift guides for shoppers.
