<i><u><b>S</b></u>o<b><u>C</u></b>al <b><u>O</u></b>ffers, <b><u>R</u></b>ewards & <u><b>E</b></u>ntertainment Awards Program Kicks Off with Summer-long “$10,000 a Week” Sweepstakes</i>
LOS ANGELES, June 17, 2010 — The Los Angeles Times is rolling out SCORE — SoCal Offers, Rewards & Entertainment — a free consumer loyalty program providing advertisers with the potential to engage The Times' large and influential audience. SCORE debuts tomorrow with a sweepstakes offering $200,000* in cash prizes.
New members receive 1,500 points for registering and additional points are earned by reading The Times, visiting latimes.com and other Los Angeles Times Media Group websites, watching TV, taking surveys, answering trivia questions and playing games. Points can be redeemed for special offers and valuable prizes including digital media players, concert tickets, gift cards and unique experiences such as courtside basketball seats or a visit to The Times test kitchen.
"Southern Californians consistently define what we watch, eat, wear, drive and buy and SCORE offers advertisers a dynamic platform to connect with that vital audience," said Bill Nagel, Los Angeles Times Executive Vice President of Business Services. "This initiative also provides consumers with new ways to interact with their news and benefit from everyday activities they already enjoy."
Advertisers can participate in SCORE through program-wide or promotion-specific sponsorships, site-wide or game-specific re-skins, giveaways, contests and display and interactive ads. SCORE also offers marketers promotional opportunities in its print spot advertising, in-paper inserts, targeted email campaigns and social networking.
In the coming weeks SCORE will expand to encompass Brand X, the Los Angeles Times Media Group's multimedia field guide for "what's next" in news, tech and culture. Tribune Broadcasting's KTLA is also scheduled to join later in the year, further increasing reach and penetration across L.A.'s DMA.
Program details and pre-registration are available now at www.SCOREpoints.com. Find more Los Angeles Times Offers and Deals at Facebook.com/LATOffers and on Twitter @LATimesOffers.
* $10,000 per week for 20 weeks.
