LightInTheBox.com Launches 'The Great Hunt (Round #3)' Competition on Facebook

BEIJING, May 28 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- To celebrate the opening of the Cannes Film Festival, and all the red carpet glamour that goes with it, global online retailer LightInTheBox.com launched "The Great Hunt (Round #3)" on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Lightinthebox-Insider/181245226552 ).

The competition invited male and female participants to hunt through LightInTheBox.com's vast selection of evening wear (http://www.lightinthebox.com/wholesale-Clothing-and-Apparel_c71 ) to find the outfit they liked best. Participants had to then post it on LightInTheBox.com's Facebook Fan Page and get as many friends to 'like' their selection as possible. The selection from each category with the most 'likes' won their chosen piece as a prize - custom-made and tailored to their specifications.

In addition to offering other high quality products at low prices, LightInTheBox.com offers online shoppers the unique service of creating and distributing high quality, tailor-made Celebrity Dresses inspired by celebrity events such as the Oscars, Golden Globes, Emmys and The Cannes Film Festival. The site also distributes high quality jewelry and watches (http://www.lightinthebox.com/wholesale-Jewelry_c72 ) to complete the outfits.

"Our Great Hunts are not only a way for us to listen to our valued customers and do some creative market research - what they and their friends like and dislike - it is also a way in which we can reach out to them, have some fun and give them a chance to look like a star!" explains Alan Guo, CEO of LightInTheBox.com.

The online retailer's vast collection continues to attract a growing base of clients from all over the globe. As a result, participants in more than 60 countries participated in the previous Great Hunt. Winner of LightInTheBox.com's previous Great Hunt, Daniela Silva, convinced more than 750 friends to like the wedding dress she selected on Facebook. Ms. Silva won her dream wedding dress, custom-tailored to her dimensions, as her prize. The previous round attracted over 3000 participants and more than 2000 comments posted on over 200 dresses selected on Facebook.

This year was the 63rd edition of the Cannes Film Festival, where 19 films competed for the coveted Palme d'Or prize. Featured films this year included Sir Ridley Scott's Hollywood blockbuster Robin Hood, starring Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchett and Oliver Stone's Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, starring Michael Douglas, which taps into this year's running theme - the GFC (Global Financial Crisis).
