5 Reasons To Be Our Friend (Or Follower)

We’re super thankful to have such a supportive group of community members, but we have to be honest: we still want more. And not just on our website. When you get the chance, please be sure to follow us on Twitter and become a fan on Facebook.

Wait a second, you say. Isn’t being a real life supporter more meaningful than being a Facebook fan and/or Twitter follower? Of course it is, but don’t underestimate the power of social media engagement. Sites like Facebook and Twitter are tools, and they can help you just as much as they can help us. Here are five reasons why:

1. Authentic Interaction. Each time a new blog post goes live, Facebook knows about it. Our blog is a resource. With each post you’ll get an inside look at the people that make Quirky tick while also learning a bit about your own potential with tips on how to avoid productivity blockers, escape topic fixation, and become a good luck charm, among other quirky essentials.

2. Fun Promotions. Don’t tell me you don’t like to win! Follow us on Twitter and join in on the weekly trivia contests, free idea deals, and product giveaways. We can’t promise that you’ll always walk away with, say, a super cool Beamer iPhone case, but there’s no doubt that it’ll be an entertaining momentary work day escape.

3. Quirky Exclusives. Only Facebook fans get true access to the inner-quirkiness of the office including silly wall photos, occasional offbeat status updates, helpful links from the interwebs, and the chance to publicly display your verbal affection on our wall. Remember the popular kids in high school? Well, we’re not quite them, but you still join our really cool crew and invite your friends.

4. Daily Inspiration. Just because we’re not the self-help section at the bookstore doesn’t mean our (re-tweeted) words of (someone else’s) wisdom won’t motivate the fulfillment of your dreams. Historical inspiration gurus like John Cage and Elizabeth Gilbert have quite a few worthwhile quotes under their belt, and we’d like to share the wealth.

5. (Even More) Creative Empowerment. A social product development company on multiple platforms. ‘Nuff said.

So come on in! The water’s fine…
