"Label me fabulous" campaign launched
The Fur Information Council of America has joined forces with Vogue Magazine to promote the new "Label Me Fabulous" campaign and the Origin Assured label with a sweepstakes contest. It ties in with the fall global campaign launched by the International Fur Trade Federation titled "Label Me".
The magazine has created a dedicated microsite at labelmefabulous.com inviting people to submit entries and up to 250 words describing why fur makes them feel fabulous. The grand prize will be an Oscar de la Renta black nutria zip-front vest.
The contest will run from Oct. 20 to Dec. 20 and Vogue will manage the sweepstakes and select the winner. It will be promoted via banner ads on a number of fur organization websites as well as to the magazine's subscribers.
