Hey, guys! It’s Mandy Webkinz here with a Special Report inviting you all to sit in on one of our brainstorming sessions! Every time there is a big event coming up, like Christmas or Halloween, the creative team and the eStore team get together and try to come up with some new ideas to add some extra fun to some of our regular yearly events.
I thought that I’d share the notes from our Valentine’s Day brainstorming so you can see how it works. We decorated the boardroom for Valentine’s Day, and we even ordered a Zangoz Chocolate Fountain to put us in the right frame of mind!
But take note: some of the information is redacted – we want to save some surprises for Valentine’s Day!
Michael: Hey everybody! So we’re going to have our Valentine Collection event, as well as Cinnamon in the Park handing out chocolates this year.
Stephen: Don’t forget the log-in gift on Valentine’s Day.
Mandy: Great! So, what else can we do to make Valentine’s Day extra fun for our players?
Michelle: Well, eStore is releasing a Sweetheart Whale this year that is SO cute! It would make an adorable pet to feature in one of our events.
Stephen: Valentine’s Day is all about sending Valentines to friends. Maybe we could do something with KinzPost.
Sally: Chocolate, Stephen! Valentine’s Day is all about chocolate!
Mandy: What if we did an event where we send chocolates through KinzPost?
Michael: Wait – what if we give players chocolates and get them to send them to their friends? Because really – Valentine’s Day is for sharing, right?
Sally: Are you saying someone might send me chocolate? I love this idea already!
Stephen: We could make it a Community Challenge, and if they send enough chocolates they earn a prize.
Mandy: Hmmm… what would be a good prize? Something new, for sure!
Michelle: Hey – to go with the new Sweetheart Whale, what if we made a virtual Sweetheart Whale plushy?
Michael: That would be so cute – I love plushies!
Mandy: Awesome! That’s a great idea! How about a Find the Ad? Those are always fun.
Sally: I was thinking we could do a Treasure Hunt on Webkinz Newz.
Stephen: Hey, for the prizes, what if we made some new [redacted] for the Find the Ads, and a new [redacted] for the Treasure Hunt?
Mandy: Ooh! Those would work perfectly together! Oh, and we also need to think of a prize for our Valentine Cards that players can print out and hand out to their friends.
Michael: Hmmm… players can always use multiple windows. Our Candy Hearts Window would be a really sweet prize – no pun intended!
Mandy: I think we’ve got a pretty good list of ideas here. Everyone happy?
Sally: If I’m getting chocolate, I’m happy!
Mandy: Thanks, guys! I’ll write these ideas up and we’ll get to work!
i shared all of my chocolates with other people on webkinz and never got one back in return, so how is that fair for people who shared their chocolates and others who didnt? please find a way to reward people who shared and not those who didnt thanks
CARN980 i’m sorry you didn’t get any chocolates. i will try and send you a friend request and next time there is a special event i will definitely share with you!
Hi Mandy! Love the conference room! I was wondering if you guys could write something about the new “Runway” room in the Clubhouse. I’m not yet sure how it works because everytime I’ve visited, I’m the only one in there, and I get a message saying that there need to be more Webkinz in the room for anything to happen. It certainly looks like a fun room! Thanks for all the great news here on Webkinz Newz!
I also think it would be cute to have a npc sweetheart whale – I wish he could stay on webkinz! He’s so cute and he gives out chocolate we can share. I love sharing with my friends.
I’m curious? Who’s the Bunny receptionist and the Camo Rhino brainstorming with you?
I’m sorry Sally Webkinz! I tried to send you one of the chocolates but as of yet we cannot add the Webkinz News team to our friends list!!! I hope that can be remedied soon!
My primary account is pretty full, but you can probably add SallyWebkinzContest1
I’m going to try that! I hope that I can send some treats your way! By the way, have you tried the new Hershey’s Gold candy bar? It’s wonderful!
I hope so too. It would be fun to add the news team and the other npcs as well. :)
This was so fun to read! Thank you for sharing and for all of the wonderful ideas! You all make the holidays truly special! I mean it. Every month for a long while now, especially holiday months, there is something fun to look forward to. Truly a wonderful thing. You brighten many days. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
