Smoke & Money, Chapter 2 - Bill Skarsgård
Title: Smoke & Money
Warning: 100% NSFW, some drug use, swearing, sex/fetish/kink type situations
Description: A young sex worker gets tangled in the dangerous web of a wealthy entrepreneur whose tastes push her past all of her known limits.
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Part 6
Weeks went by and the weather warmed up to the point when I could finally turn the heat off and save a little on bills. Work was steady and I had procured a couple of new clients. One wanted a contract with me for once a week on the same day. At first, I refused him but then he upped his paying amount from 300 a night to 500 a night to secure the same night that would fit into his busy work schedule. A thousand a month. That was my rent for only 4 sessions. After mulling it over I decided I would take his offer if he did away with the contract. My request didn’t sit well with him at first and he threatened to go elsewhere until we reached a compromise. 400 for once a week, every week until renegotiation. No contracts, only my promise.
A promise that would be broken. It was Wednesday night and I was getting ready to leave to meet my newest weekly client when I received an e-mail from an address I had never seen before. The subject line was familiar though.
1,000 tonight.
The email address matched the initials from the first time. Only now instead of a random email address, it seemed to be his personal address. B Skarsgard. I wondered what the B stood for. “My rich shoe dude is a rich Scandinavian dude by the sounds of it.” I opened it eagerly.
Come here again tonight?
B.S.
My top teeth sank into my bottom lip. I already had my client and it wasn’t polite to cancel without any notice. Fuck.
I can’t tonight. I’m busy with another client. Pleased to come tomorrow if you like?
J.
I frowned as I sent off my most unfortunate declination. I did make a verbal agreement already and as much as I’d rather shine shoes than put an old cock down my throat, I was a woman of my word. That was until I received the next e-mail.
No. Come now. I’ll double it.B.S.
Oh fuck. I was not passing up two grand. I couldn’t. My inner broke hoe was practically in tears over this. Fuck it. I had to go where the money was. It took me a long time to come up with an excuse to duck out on my client, long enough to receive another email from Mr. Skarsgard.
Shall I send a car?
B.S.
Yes. What should I wear?
Same thing as last time. No panties though
B.S.
Oh, finally it gets interesting. I laughed to myself. As if getting paid two thousand dollars wasn’t interesting enough already.
It was like an instant replay. Same car, same driver, same niceties. I was driven to the huge estate, let out of the car and walked inside. “You remember the way, miss?” The driver asked. “I do. Thank you.” I took the stairs one by one, letting my hand glide up the polished wooden banister as I ascended. This time there was no smoke floating from the open doorway. Down the hall, I walked until I reached the second door on the left. Once more I was met with the figure under the canopy. This time though there was a new pair of shoes, a rag and shoe polish. The shoes had a pointed toe and gold buckles. The rag was brand new.
His weight shifted on the bed and out of the shadow of the canopy I saw his feet and legs emerge to plant on the floor. I saw his elbows come to rest on his knees. He was wearing the shoes from the first night. There wasn’t a scuff mark to be seen on them. Strangely, I was pleased. He wore black slacks, black socks, and a white tank top style undershirt. His limbs were long as befit a man that wore that size shoe. I could make out the contours of his biceps, the length of his arms down to the elegant hands. His face was somewhat visible enough for me to see he had thick brown hair all pushed back stylishly. His nose was long and upturned, almost elf-like with high cheekbones and sunken eyes. There was an unlit cigarette between his lips. The shadows cascading over him made it nearly impossible to make out any other distinctive features.
He was handsome, from what I could see.
“Please begin.” He gestured towards the shoes on the floor. This time they were closer to the bed.
For some reason, this atmosphere robbed me of the words I wanted to say. Moreover, the questions I wanted to ask. But a more successful girl had once told me, don’t ask too many questions because you don’t need too many answers.
I did what I was told and got on my knees before him and the shoes but before I could begin he paused me. He took the cigarette from between his lips and held it between to two fingers. “Did you forget your panties?” He asked, pointing at me with the cigarette in hand. “Yes, sir.” He leaned back, producing a lighter from his pocket to light the tip of his cigarette. “Good girl. In front of me, please.” As he exhaled a cloud of smoke I repositioned myself with my back towards him and made a deliberate show of bending over to retrieve the rag and shoes. With my jacket on you couldn’t see that I wasn’t wearing panties no matter how far down I bent.
A chill like ice water being poured down my back set my hands to shake. With my back to him, I felt vulnerable. He was silent save for the sound of burning paper and the soft exhalation of smoke.
“Take off your jacket.” His voice was hoarse with cigarette smoke.
I obeyed him immediately. Without hesitation, I removed the jacket, set it aside and resumed the task at hand. This time I worked with an extra arch in my spine, just for him. I heard him breathing and smoking his cigarette as I worked. I could not stop picturing what he looked like watching me.
Inside of the dark room, I began to feel light-headed. All the subtle sounds began to meld together. The head rush of polish and the stench of cigarettes overcame me. I caressed the stiff leather of the designer shoe over and over with my ass up. It became surreal when I heard his weight shift off the bed. By the shuffling of his shoes, I knew that he was now standing. Whether or not he was presiding over me or getting ready to strike me, my heart quickened. The nauseous feeling of anxiety numbed my arms and locked my elbows in place. His footsteps carried further away though. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw him walking towards a serving cart laden with bottles and glass tumblers. Each footfall echoed off the walls of the room. The satisfying sound of his every step resonated. I listened carefully to what he was doing. I heard glass clinking and surely an expensive alcohol being poured. As he turned towards me, drink in hand, the soles of his shoes scraped against the floor.
He walked towards where I kneeled on all fours. With a drink in one hand and a cigarette in the other, he approached. When a familiar pair of leather shoes entered my line of sight, that’s when I paused and looked up at him. His long legs were like stilts for the rest of him. I could not see his face as it was obscured by the glass and he was entirely too tall to take in.
“Don’t stop.” He said after swallowing a sip of his drink.
Quickly I took up polishing, averting my eyes from him.
I worked and worked away as he watched, sipped his drink and smoked his cigarette down to the filter. He left my side, presumably to put his smoke out in the ashtray beside his bed. I heard the mattress groan as he sat on it.
“Bring them here.”
His request caught me off guard but I obeyed. In one hand I picked up both shoes and started hobbling towards him on my knees and one free hand. When I got closer to the side of the canopy bed he kicked off his shoes and they fell by the side of his socked feet.
Somehow with no words exchanged I knew to bring him the new pair. I sat up on the meat of my calves, toes curled to the carpet and presented him with the left shoe for him to slip his foot into. I held the buckled shoe steady as he pushed his foot inside. With a gentle stamp of his sole on the floor, it went on and he lifted his right leg for the other. I did the same thing to him and then sat back again to look up at his shadowy face.
Finally, my eyes became adjusted to the darkness but there was scarcely any more detail of his face I could make out that I hadn’t already. By his silhouette, I could see he had a long neck that broadened out into square shoulders. When he leaned forward to rest his forearms on top of his thighs, his face came into view. Sitting there on the largest canopy bed I had ever seen was a man with lustrous brown hair, deep eyes hooded by a menacing brow bone and lips so full and so blushed that they looked like a cherub’s.
My my, what a pretty boy.
I did not expect him to stoop down towards me but he did and I couldn’t help but flinch. He lifted my chin with one of his long fingers. I could smell nicotine on his skin.
“Thank you Miss. That will be all for tonight.”
“Yes, sir.”
He touched the pad of his thumb to my bottom lip, examining me for a moment before leaning away.
“Your money is on the table.”
With a nod I stood up, the rush of blood to my legs was strong and I struggled not to waiver in front of him. After gathering my coat I left but not before taking the cash from the brass dish. I wasn’t sure if it was just me or what but the bills felt warm in my hand. Warm and somehow wrong. I was as confused as I was intrigued. I had heard of a lot of kinks before but this was something new. I had all the time in the world to draw my conclusions about him. Why was he paying me to do these things? It was no common foot-fetish. He had to be getting some sort of kick out of having a woman put his shoes on for him and the money… The money was another perplexing piece of this puzzle. Two thousand dollars just seemed like so much for so little. I had clients that would laugh in my face if I ever demanded that amount of money even for the most extreme requests.
I wondered what he got out of all this. The thought haunted me. Who was this man and why had I never heard of him before? In the sex work world, you were forced to make friends. I had girlfriends who did the same work as I did and we all had our network of communication. It was for gossip about clients or to warn each other of Johns who tried to dodge you or just the outrageous requests from some of the creme-de-la-creme of weird dudes who paid lots of money for hookers. If he was a very rich man who paid out stacks for stuff like that, I would have heard about it from one of the other girls.
The fact that I had never heard of this B. Skarsgard was unsettling so I took to my list of contacts to start digging around. The first person I tried was a girl who boasted having over thirty clients that she had regular sessions with. She had been in the game for a few years starting at the ripe age of nineteen. If I wasn’t mistaken she had to have been twenty-five by now and still gorgeous. Still pulling hard tricks on her own. The stories I had heard from her were unfathomable.
I didn’t want to be too forthcoming so I danced around the subject a little with her at first.
Have you ever had a client ask you to put his shoes on for him? I asked her via instant message.
No, not really. Well… kinda. But it wasn’t his shoes. I had a client ask to watch me give myself a home pedicure and then put on stockings and then my own shoes. Lol, why do you ask?
Haha, no real reason. I was talking with a friend and she said she had this new client who had a weird shoe fetish.
Shoe fetishes aren’t THAT weird. At least not to me. I wish I knew more guys who had them though… Free shoes.
What was the most you have ever made off one client that wasn’t a bluntly sexual request?
What do you mean? Give me an example.
Like… remember how that one girl Larissa said an old guy paid her 700 bucks to sit at his kitchen table and eat pieces of fruit while he watched? Like that type of thing lol.
Ooooh. Hm. I guess probably this one guy asked me to step on his balls in stilettos for 600 an hour.
Haha. Shit. People are weird.
Totally.
No, there was no evident trail leading to him. I asked around about any wealthy newcomers with some other friends but as far as anyone told me, they had been seeing all the same clients and any new ones were men over the age of forty. There was no talk of a young Scandinavian man. I must have been his first. My assumption gave the situation a whole new feeling. A warm feeling. I had always wanted to be someone’s first.
I found myself thinking about B. Skarsgard a lot during the day and even more at night. When would he call on me again? What would he have me do differently? Was he satisfied with what he had already gotten from me? It got to the point where I kept reading the e-mails we had exchanged and once I had read them, I read them over again. I even considered reaching out to him but my pride stopped me. I just left his e-mail address open with a blank template. No. That would appear too desperate, too needy.
Fuck, this is stupid.
I had heard of girls getting hung up on a client. Whether it was lust or the insult of a dismissal, there were plenty of grey areas to tread in when it came to my line of work. Not everything was as simple as giving and taking. There was always jealousy, hurt and danger. I myself had made it a very long way without any of the three complicating things for me. I wasn’t about to let it now. I deduced that if he wanted me again he would make it known. And make it known he did when one night, nearly a month after our last encounter, he reached out again. This time he did not use his go-to tagline. In fact, there was no subject line at all. Just his e-mail address floating at the top of my inbox.
Up for a visit? 1,000 if you can come tonight.
B.
I wasted no time in replying, Yes. I can come tonight.
Wear whatever you like this time.
B.
I immediately started getting ready. I whipped off the clothes I was wearing, threw my hair up in a bun and hopped into the shower. Never had I washed so quickly before. I chose a matching bra and panty set- black and lacy. Fool-proof. Nothing was as easy and sophisticated as black. It was a safe choice.
Although he didn’t request the jacket, I decided to take it upon myself to wear a new knee-length coat that I had bought myself with his money. I figured if he was going to pay me so handsomely, I’d treat myself to something I thought he might appreciate. Or perhaps he wouldn’t but either way, I thought it appropriate since it was dealer’s choice anyway.
The sleek BMW pulled up and off I went on another house-call. This time I had nerves about it all. My curiosity set my imagination fluttering off. What could be next, I wondered. Did his driver know what was going on between us? Would the client speak more to me this time and would I be able to see him close up? The third time I stepped into the foyer of his home I felt an odd sense of familiarity. I stared up at the arching ceilings and the framed paintings and wondered how the place would look in the daytime with the sun shining through the windows.
With purpose, I ascended the stairs. With each step, I felt my heart beat harder against my chest. By the time I reached the open doorway I could feel my pulse battering in my neck. Why all the mystery and why did I feel so vulnerable?
“Won’t you come in?” He asked when my pause at the door became too apparent.
“Yes, sir…” I started. “May I ask you a question?”
“Yes?”
“Why so much for what you ask? I would gladly accept less.”
Mr. Skarsgard stood up from his sitting position at the side of his bed. “Would you? Why is that?”
I bit my bottom lip and shrugged. “It just seems like a lot-”
“Do you not think your services are worth what I’m paying you?”
“No… That’s not what I meant. I just mean… I know people who would do a lot more for a lot less. Seems a little excessive to me, if you don’t mind me saying.”
He took a pack of cigarettes off the bedside table and produced a lighter from the pocket of his fitted pants. His eyes were on me as he retrieved a cigarette from the pack and stuck it between his lips.
“So what you’re saying is that you would do a lot more for me if I wished?”
“Yes.”
He approached me and at the same time, I noticed there were no empty shoes awaiting me in the center of the room. So as to not appear afraid, I took a step further into the room. He walked into the light cast by the window and my lips fell slightly apart. Well over six foot and devastatingly handsome, I felt the wash of arousal stir inside of me. That hadn’t happened in a long time. He was wearing a white tank-style undershirt, dark slacks, a leather belt and designer shoes again. I don’t think I had seen the shoes before but I also could not train my eyes away from his face to look hard enough.
I couldn’t say I found any of my regular clients that attractive but I didn’t find them that repulsive either. This man, however, was as gorgeous as he was intimidating. I watched, entranced as he lifted his hand to take the cigarette from his mouth, smoke pouring out of his nostrils. His tongue darted out to slide across his bottom lip. He was all long limbs and pale skin.
“What would you do for me?” He asked.
“Anything.”
“Anything?” He repeated, eyebrows raising. “Because on your profile you do have a rather long list of things you refuse to participate in. You would make certain exceptions for me?”
I was at a loss for words so much so that my mouth hung open for a moment. “For that amount of money? I could be coerced into bending my personal rules a little.”
Between puffs, he pointed his long fingers at me. “Yet you just told me you would accept less money.”
“I, um-”
He turned away and headed back towards his bed to the ashtray. “I’m not trying to trap you.”
“Alright.”
“You’ll accept what I give you and in turn, you will do as I say, does that sound like a fair arrangement to you?”
I swallowed the saliva flooding my mouth. “Yes, sir.”
“So far I’ve enjoyed your submission to me. I want to take it further.”
“Okay.”
“Yes… sir.”
“Yes, sir.” I corrected myself.
He stubbed out his cigarette, ran his hand through his hair and turned back towards me. “On your knees.”
I listened to him and he approached me with a certain lilt in his step that commanded my attention. His expression was firm and stuck on me kneeling before him. He bent at the hips and slid his spindly fingers around my neck, caressing and not squeezing, threading through the hair on the back of my head and pulling it taut. With his grip he pulled my head back, forcing me to look up at him.
“Show me your tongue.”
I let my tongue loll out of my mouth for him and never broke eye contact. He sucked on his bottom lip and let out a throaty purr. I watched as he sucked up all the saliva from inside his mouth, no doubt gathering it in a pool on his tongue. He lowered himself even closer to my face and let a long string of spit spill from his puckered lips onto my outstretched tongue. It was so warm and watery that it immediately dripped onto my chin and chest. When he swooped down and forced his open mouth over mine, sucking up what he had administered, he let out a moan that echoed down my throat and filled my lungs.
“Spit on the floor.” He whispered.
I did. I spit on the carpet in front of me and looked back up at him. His hand let go of my hair and he rose up tall. He began to unbuckle his belt. I could only watch to see what would happen next. My mouth was buzzing from the wet contact and by the shade of red his lips had turned, I could tell he felt the same sensation.
The leather of his belt slid smoothly against the material of his slacks when he pulled it free from the loops. Paralyzed, I watched him remove the belt and bend down to place it around my neck. He fed one end through the buckle and didn’t stop until the leather pulled snugly against my skin like a makeshift leash. He gripped the end of the belt, stood up again and tugged on it to get me moving. The restraint against my throat tightened as he pulled me forward to crawl through the puddle of spit that had just fallen from my mouth and hadn’t absorbed into the carpet.
“Crawl.” He commanded me.
So I did. I crawled like an animal with his belt around my neck and he led me. It was a struggle not to trip on the hem of my dress as I put one knee in front of the other. Each step he took was deliberate and slow, his legs extended out long and I was forced to keep up the pace or else choke as the leather noose tightened around my neck. He walked me towards the serving cart and then further. There was a door that I had not noticed during my first two encounters with Mr. Skardsgard. I wondered where it led to. An en suite bathroom? A sex dungeon? Before my mind could wander any further he stopped, turned and looked down at me.
One foot extended towards me. His shoes were Italian leather with three rows of lacing. I looked up at his face, awaiting his next command.
“Kiss them.”
He must have noticed my hesitation as he lifted the belt strap and it cut into my skin. “Kiss. Them.”
The leather had a distinct smell and felt cold against my skin as I puckered up and kissed the toe of his left shoe. To be thorough and avoid having the belt tighten again I kept going, placing small kisses all over the toe of his expensive shoe.
“Spit.”
Before I could amass enough of my own saliva he pulled my head up by the strap. “Wait wait, open your mouth.”
I locked eyes with him and let my jaw hang open. Once more he produced a dollop of spit and dropped it into my mouth only this time, it slid down into the back of my throat and I coughed to keep from swallowing it. “Now spit on them.” I let our collective drool fall from my tongue onto his shoe. It ran down the sides, over the seams, and onto the carpet beneath his sole. He stared down at me, slack-jawed, admiring the mess I was helping him make.
“Good.” He whispered, dropping the end of the belt he had been leading me with to the floor beside my hands.
“Now listen to me…” He said, bending at the knees to bring himself down to my level. “Never fucking question me. As far we go, you are bought and paid for, okay? You are mine when I want you, anytime, any day. When I call you, you answer. I’ll decide what I pay you and you will fucking like it. This isn’t some Fifty Shades bullshit, you hear me? I’m counting on your professionalism to make this work for the both of us.”
I nodded, “yes, sir.”
His eyes bore deep into mine, searching for any hint of defiance but there was none to be found. I had heard him loud and clear. It appeared as though I had a new top priority customer.
After a long stare, he nodded, stood back up and made his way over to retrieve his cigarettes. I watched him, still on the carpet on all-fours, his belt dangling from my neck loosely. He lit a cigarette and inhaled deeply.
“Good. Now you may go… And give the driver your contact information on your way out.”
“Yes, sir.” My voice had turned hoarse.  
Mr. Skarsgård left the room and as soon as the echoes of his steps faded away I sat up on my knees, slipped the belt off from over my head and stood up. It still felt like his spit was in my mouth and every time I swallowed I was swallowing more of him.
I let out the air that I was hoarding in my lungs for what seemed like the first time all night. Standing up made me feel light-headed and it took me a moment to find my equilibrium. With the belt in hand, I approached the canopy bed and laid it down gently on the duvet before turning to leave.
Questions in my mind were buzzing around like flies the entire ride home. Little questions with no answers. I kept watching the driver, wondering what kind of information he had and if I should chance a conversation about his employer. Before I got too carried away with the notion, I decided it best to mind my own business. That was an aspect of my job that I had many struggles with and even more so now that I was dealing with a particularly interesting client.
It was hard not to wonder what Mr. Skarsgård’s end game was and I knew it was going to be itching in the back of my head for a while. My sudden captivation sent me in search of ways to shake the strange feeling I got when I thought about him and what he wanted from me. All I had was the cash to remind me what I was doing this for.
It was never a good idea to get involved in a client’s business or to even ask questions about their personal lives. In fact, it was one of the golden rules of sex work. The less you knew, the better. Even if the roles were reversed, I had always snubbed men when they asked me about my personal life, if I had a boyfriend, what my other aspirations were or what my own end game was. Truth be told, I had no idea what my goal was but I’d never tell that to a John. My fake confidence was practically unshakeable when it came to their prying and that was good because it painted me into a picture of a hardcore mistress, a dangerous lady with a murky past. I was earning respect from those around me, no, I commanded it.
With all of the extra cash coming in I got this air about me whenever I met up with other customers. Suddenly I felt like my time was worth a lot more than what I had been initially charging. I was spoiled now and it felt good. Finally after all the blowjobs, old men, body hair and anxiety, I was getting what I needed to live the way I had envisioned.
Before I could go apeshit and spend all of my cash on shit I didn’t need I decided it best to pay off my late bills and start off on a clean slate, with the rest of the money stowed away in a box at the back of my coat closet. If I hadn’t acquired the cash using questionable methods, I would have opened a savings account but this felt way better.  
I was changing. I was becoming a night-walking bad-ass bitch with the money and all the right shoes for all occasions. So quickly had I shed the skin of the poor chick and emerged as a Queen of pain and love like the girls I had learned from. This was nice. This was really, really nice.

Businesses that publish weak, uninspired content are hurting their bottom line. Their customers are losing interest, because the business is failing to deliver on social - all of which are key to enhancing the customer experience.
When people follow a page, they’re expecting to be entertained. Businesses need to create content that is on-brand and delights their customers in unexpected ways.
One way to do this is by executing Instagram Story contests to reward your loyal fans.
Social media contests can be a fun, engaging way to connect with your fans while also getting valuable data.
Marketers can execute contests to discover an engaged segment of fans that they can use to create a custom audience for retargeting campaigns.
With the popularity of Instagram Stories, businesses are turning to the platform to connect and reward their fans with prizes and giveaways. Not only are more companies shifting to working in virtual teams, but customers are also turning to social media now more than ever…
Making it essential that you have a strategy to meet your audience where they are and reap the benefits.
Before we look at a few Instagram Story contest formats, let’s examine why the platform is so effective for engaging fans.
Leveraging Instagram Stories to Engage Customers
Instagram Stories are becoming more popular by the day.
As of last year, Instagram Stories had 500 million daily active users (DAU) and was growing by 20% every six months.
Tumblr media
In addition, Instagram Stories bring a new level of customized content to Instagram.
Businesses can publish photos or videos to their story with tagged locations, hashtags, music, polls, forms, and other added features.
Business profiles that have more than 10,000 followers are able to add a link to their story. When a link is included, fans can swipe up to be taken to the website.
This was a feature that fans have wanted for years. Approximately 15% of fans have used the swipe up feature on a branded Instagram Story before.
On Instagram, you need to focus on producing high-quality, visual content. This can be intimidating for businesses with limited employees or resources.
Don’t worry. There are plenty of low-cost video production agencies that can help you craft hours and hours of footage to use on Instagram:
Tumblr media
It’s essential to invest in high-quality content. It will drive your engagement and convert more customers.
In addition to video content, you can work with freelance designers to develop branding guidelines to follow on your story contests:
Tumblr media
With such a large user base and so many features, it’s no wonder businesses are turning to Instagram Stories to engage customers.
To get started, I highly suggest using an online whiteboard platform to brainstorm ideas (such as the ones shared below) and to brainstorm with your team.
Need some inspiration? Let’s look at some of the types of contests businesses are launching on the platform.
1. Create a Simple Sweepstakes
Zoma, a mattress brand, launched their #SleeptoWin giveaway last year to showcase their product and engage their Instagram audience:
Tumblr media
The contest invited fans to:
Follow their Instagram page
Like the post
Tag two friends and post their fitness goals
One winner would be selected to receive a free mattress. That’s it! Because it’s so simple, you’re bound to get a lot of entrants.
You should know, though, that those three steps were picked strategically.
The reason for the first step of liking the page should be obvious. It helps grow the business’ following and gives the company a chance to remarket to the customer.
Users were asked to “like” the post, because previously, user activity would appear in their followers’ Discover tab. This has recently been changed, but liking the post will still drive business’ engagement numbers and expose the post to more of their followers organically.
Finally, tagging two friends helps expose more target customers to the brand.
Zoma promoted the contest with a short video that showcased their product and had a text overlay explaining the contest instructions. They shared this in their post and story feed.
Short, quick social media videos like that one are easy to make even if you aren’t an experienced videographer. There is plenty of video editing software that beginners can hack their way through to produce simple social video assets.
The video promotion on Instagram was only one aspect of the digital campaign, though. The #SleeptoWin campaign leveraged social media influencers and existing customers to share testimonials and their experiences with the product.
This content was shared on the company’s Instagram Story feed to promote the contest and the Zoma brand. Those Stories are now saved on the Zoma Instagram’s featured stories section, so users can access them at any time.
Tumblr media
Collectively, Zoma’s #SleeptoWin campaign showcased their products' best features, excited their loyal followers, and compiled a list of eager fans that want to try the mattress.
You can even run a similar campaign across your other platforms as well such as Facebook and Twitter. If you decide to go that route, there are plenty of tools to manage your various social networks under one roof.

2. User-Generated Content Giveaways
Perhaps you want to have your customers do more than add a comment in exchange for the chance to win a free product.
That’s where a user-generated content giveaway comes into play. In this style of giveaway, brands ask fans to create a video or tag them in a photo of them using their product.
Fans need to be creative to publish the best content that will stand out from competitors. This provides the company with a wealth of user-generated content that they can use in various other marketing campaigns.
To encourage your fans to post user-generated content, add the instructions and contest hashtag to your Instagram bio — just like Gili Sports did.
Tumblr media
There are various hashtag generator tools you can use to help come up with unique hashtags for your brand, if you haven’t established any already. Then, when your fans share their content, you can add it to your story and amplify it in your story.
Tumblr media
Depending on what is required to be in the photo or video to enter the contest, this can be a great opportunity to encourage fans to show how they would use your product in its natural environment.
User-generated content will connect with other customers in ways that company-owned product videos can’t. Their unbiased reviews and passion for your product will directly impact your company.
To get as many potential customers participating in the contest as possible, enlist the help of influencers that align with your brand.
By having them participate in the contest, it will expose the campaign to their followers, while growing brand awareness for your company as well.
3. Form Fill Contests
Instagram continuously adds new features that businesses can include in their stories. One useful feature is the questions form that businesses can add to photos and videos.
With the questions form, businesses can ask a specific question or write a statement in the box.
Fans can respond directly to the form that appears in the story. The business will be able to see the responses. If you’re worried about who is going to respond to those responses to provide an even better experience, try incorporating a chatbot tool to automate your responses.
With a form on your story, Instagram can essentially function as a landing page designed for data collection.
All fans need to do to enter is add text to the form on your story, and Instagram will provide you with all the responses. Then, you can share the ones you like and select a winner.
In the example below, the followers who correctly guessed the location of the brands next pop-up store won a prize.
To enter, all they had to do was add their guess into the question box on the story.
Tumblr media
The brand could sort through the guesses and customize the winning one with a background photo and text before publishing it to their feed.
Just be sure to use a spelling or grammar tool like Grammarly so that your content makes sense and is easy to read by your audience. Otherwise, good luck getting engagement when no one understands the message you’re trying to get across!
Conclusion
When businesses focus on growing their fan bases, sometimes engaging fans falls to the wayside.
Instagram Stories are a simple and effective way for businesses to publish engaging content that their customers want to see.
There’s so many features built into Instagram Stories, which makes the platform ripe for contests. Three of the most popular formats are simple sweepstakes, user-generated content giveaways, and form fill contests.
By promoting contests in your Instagram Stories, you’ll delight existing fans while bringing a whole new segment of fans to your page.

Mattress Toppers: Good Or Bad?
Tumblr media
A cheap mattress topper is one of the best-selling sleep-related products when it comes to upgrading the existing sleep surface. There are valid reasons why they are so popular, but like almost everything, you’ll ever buy there are pros and cons, or comparisons and differences to similar products. In this post, we discuss the benefits and drawbacks, and how they compare to a full-size mattress.
The Good
Cheaper than a full size
A thick traditional mattress can be very costly, especially if it’s something large like a Queen or Cali King. Replacing one of these can become an expensive burden especially considering that even a cheap mattress of this size can cost anything starting from $200 for anything half decent. On the other hand, you could replenish the dying mattress with a cheaper alternative, i.e., the topper. A relatively thin one (1-2 inches) can be found for as little as $75. Prices average at around $150, but thicker models from top mattress brands like Tempur-Pedic could sometimes cost in excess of $500.
Widely available
Due to extreme popularity, many brands and types exist, and are stocked and supplied by most retailers in the industry, whether direct from a retail outlet or online. Most people buy online as it’s cheaper and usually comes with free delivery.
Available in all sizes
Again due to popularity and consumer requirement you’ll almost always find the size you require if you’re in a retail outlet, and indeed if you check online. Toppers come in different sizes and thickness, but you’ll need to buy one which matches the dimensions of the current mattress which it will be placed on. Please check our mattress size chart for more information and guidance on standard dimensions.
Lightweight and easy to maneuver
Flipping and rotating your topper should continue as usual in the same way that you should flip and rotate the old mattress beneath it too. Therefore a real advantage is a lightweight construction which allows easy moving around.
Extremely mobile
If you’re temporarily sleeping in a different bed for whatever reason you can take your topper with you and slip it under the bedding provided the mattress size and topper size match.
One person install
When you buy and take it home, one person can easily unroll it from the packaging and lay it out flat over your existing surface. Let it settle and flatten itself out for a couple of hours, place your bedding on top and it’s ready to sleep on.
Easily disposable
After years of usage when the time arrives for disposal, there is little worry because it doesn’t take two people to carry it to a van, pickup or SUV. Literally, roll it up and dispose of with your household waste.
Good variation or selection
Similar to full-size mattresses, toppers are also available in various types of foam (e.g. natural plant or gel-infused cooling toppers for hot sleepers. Also, wool and latex are popular options. Choose whichever suits your requirements and budget.
Better cleanliness
Some toppers are machine wash compatible. Simply place inside the washing machine and clean every so often for a more hygienic surface under your bedding. This has obvious health benefits over and existing traditional mattress which you’d generally have to wipe with a cloth instead.
Number 1 Mattress Topper For 2020
The Bad
Limited firmness level
The level of density or material type is fairly restricted, i.e., there isn’t much choice regarding pounds (lbs) when it comes to memory foam mattress toppers, or 100% natural, blended or synthetic when it comes to latex.
Shorter warranty
The length of warranties provided is usually shorter (averaging three years) in comparison to a traditional sized (averaging 10+ years). However, this is quite normal given the average life expectancy of most products around on the market.
Longevity
Due to the thinner natured design, you may find that a 1″ pad can last little more than 2-3 years. However, the thicker types such as 2″ and above can easily last 3-4 years.
Hopefully, this post has been helpful in guiding you through any decision-making process and sheds more light on the benefits and disadvantages of owning or buying a mattress topper, especially in comparison to a full-size traditional option. For further information or guidance on some of the best products around, please read our mattress topper reviews and buying guide.

This company moved once more in 1961 to its present site following necessary expansion plans.

Choosing the Mattress For The Budget ($500)
Within 1986, the development of their well-known Hippo and Duck plan encapsulated their brand name like a British house name.

This latest spring system was the first one to be introduced in the British for more than three decades. It was late improved to their trademarked Miracoil Spring System from the late 1990s.

Bosch TS1004 Table Saw Dust Collector Bag
Table Saw Dust Bag
This is honestly one of the best purchases I’ve made and it’s so inexpensive. Table saws are essential on many jobsites and workshops, but dust collection can be an issue.

I’ve been using it on my Milwaukee M18 cordless table saw and it collects probably 80-90% of the dust

Casper Mattress review: You can save 50% right now
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ask someone to name a bed-in-the-box brand and the chances are they’ll say Casper. After launching in the US in 2014, the company became one of the fastest-growing consumer brands ever and it has quite a list of celebrity backers, including Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire and designer Steven Alan. In the years since hordes of competitors have appeared on the scene, but Casper still remains the best-known make.
So apart from being the first to sell these rolled-up, vacuum-packed, easily transportable, boxed mattresses, is there anything else that stands out about Casper? What kind of sleepers does it suit best? And how does the Casper compare to other types of mattresses?
READ NEXT: Best mattress
Casper Mattress review: What you need to know
Unlike the US Casper, which uses a combination of foam and latex, the UK model has an all-foam construction comprising four different layers. The top comfort layer is 33mm of open-cell foam, which mimics the feel of latex and below this there’s 33mm of memory foam, a 33mm transition layer and finally 140mm of supportive foam at the base.
For those who are quick at maths, that makes the Casper 240mm deep in total, which is more or less the same as its all-foam rivals Emma and Leesa and means it’ll work with all standard fitted sheets.
The layering means you’ll be sleeping on an upside-down mattress if you flip it but Casper advises rotating the bed from top to toe every three to six months. Be warned that at 38kg for a king size, you might need someone to help. You can use the mattress with any base that’s solid and flat and, unlike many of its competitors, the Casper can be used with both hot water bottles and electric blankets.
Since its beginnings, Casper has made only minor tweaks to the UK version of its mattress. The latest version, introduced at the end of last year, added “contour cuts”, which Casper claims help relieve pressure while maintaining “comfort, support, temperature, and durability”.
A mattress cover is by no means essential, but using one will keep your Casper mattress clean and hygienic for longer. Casper recommends a breathable, cotton mattress protector over a polyester one – its own mattress protector will set you back from £70, depending on which size you need.
The Casper is available in all UK sizes from single to super king (as well as EU sizes) and it’s backed by a ten-year warranty. It’s sold exclusively online, either via Casper or Amazon and, if you don’t like the feel of it, there’s an 100-day money back guarantee.

Casper Mattress review: Price and competition
Prices for the Casper are £400 for single, £600 for double and £700 for king. That’s a very similar pricing structure to all-foam mattresses from& Eve, Leesa and Emma. Other well-known names in the bed-in-a-box market include Otty and Simba, whose hybrids are among our favourite mattresses. Otty is cheaper than Casper, costing only £500 and £600 for a double and king, respectively, while Simba will set you back £650 and £750 in those sizes.
Like all bed-in-a-box mattresses, Casper claims it will give you more bang for your buck than a pocket-sprung mattress. In fact, you can get a decent pocket-sprung mattress for under £700. The Sealy Nostromo, which has a pocket-sprung core and latex top layer, costs £490 in single. If your pockets are deeper, there’s the Somnus Supremacy Marquis 1400 – a high-end pocket-sprung mattress with supreme comfort and exceptionally breathable materials which will set you back £1,449 for a single.
Casper Mattress Review: Comfort and performance
I’d advise unpacking your mattress right onto the bed frame, because as soon as you take it out of the box and its vacuum packaging, it quickly expands. In fact, you can lie (and even sleep) on it straight away, although the manufacturer says it can take 24 hours to completely form. You might notice a bit of off-gassing, but the odours aren’t as strong as some other foam mattresses and they disappear within a few days.
Lying on the mattress for the first time, it gave me immediate comfort, but I also felt supported and lifted up. With some bed-in-a-box mattresses, you get a sunk, cradled feeling but I didn’t find that with the Casper.
Back sleepers will know how hard it is to find the right mattress. But with the Casper, I felt instant comfort under my shoulders, and my spine felt as if it was supported in all the right places. Lying on my side was also comfortable, with good moulding, and I had no aches and pains in my hips and shoulders. Finally, I found the Casper mattress comfortable on my front, and felt as though my hips remained at a similar level to my shoulders, which isn’t always the case with softer mattresses. To caveat that, I weigh around 55kg, so of a heavier person might find it softer.
If you do move positions, rolling over is easy enough and the Casper is on par with other all-foam beds in terms of partner disturbance – that is, you might feel them toss and turn, but only a bit.
Crucially, though, despite Casper’s claims that the mattress can be used on any base, I found it most comfortable atop a solid platform. When placed on a sprung slatted base, the mattress can feel less stable and  also lack support when it warms up and becomes softer.
One of the main criticisms of bed-in-a-box mattresses is that they can make you feel clammy at night. I definitely found the Casper warmer than a pocket-sprung mattress, so if you’re prone to getting hot at night, you might be better off with something with natural fillings.

Casper Mattress Review: Verdict
Casper is one of the top players in the bed-in-a-box industry and its UK mattress is a winning combo for a comfortable and supportive night’s sleep.
I found it delightfully comfortable when sleeping on my back, side, and front, and although it was noticeably warmer than a pocket sprung mattress, I never found it excessively hot or clammy.
Unlike some of its rivals, however, the Casper mattress can feel softer as it gets warm, and also loses some of its firmness during the initial break-in period, so it might not be the best choice for those looking for the highest levels of support.
It’s too soon to tell how the Casper will last in the longer-term as the company has only been in business a few years, but there’s nothing to suggest it’ll sag. All in all, then, it’s a comfortable and versatile medium-firm mattress that should be suitable for the majority of prospective customers.

Inside the ‘Ultimate High-Performance Luxury Lifestyle’ Experience at the New Equinox Hotel
The bed was crafted by Greeks. Credit Scandinavians for the duvet cover.
The mattress comes with buzzwords including “charcoal,” “horsehair,” “coconut,” and “seaweed.” The bed I am looking at is displayed in a showcase room at a newly constructed luxury hotel along the Hudson River, the first ever by luxury fitness club operator Equinox.
Equinox’s so-called proprietary sleep system sounds preposterous, but when I touch the duvet, it is alluringly comfortable and serene. And that’s the general gist of my tour of the first Equinox-branded hotel. It seesaws between over-the-top alignment with the Equinox brand and undeniable enticement.
The Equinox Hotel promises to give guests the same experience its gym provides: “the ultimate high-performance luxury lifestyle.” Located in the newly developed Hudson Yards neighborhood along the west side of Manhattan, the hotel has 212 guest rooms, 48 suites, and a 60,000-square-foot Equinox Fitness Club housing indoor and outdoor pools, an 8,000-square-foot terrace, and a spa with cryotherapy and an infrared sauna.
The locker room at the Equinox Fitness Club, Hudson Yards.
Equinox has had great success getting city dwellers to pay well north of $200 per month for a gym membership. Now it hopes brand loyalists across the globe, as well as travelers who aren’t fitness-obsessed, will pay $700 or more per night to stay at a swanky hotel. It’s perhaps the biggest test yet of the brand’s appeal.
When I first heard Equinox was opening a hotel in New York, I envisioned a small-scale gym in a fancy hotel room. Perhaps there would be a SoulCycle bike or a “smart” mirror that would entice guests to take virtual yoga and barre classes.
But that’s too obvious, says Christopher Norton, chief executive officer of Equinox’s hotel business.
“We don’t want people to exercise in the room—that belongs in the gym,” says Norton. Sure, there’s a yoga mat in the closet, along with a mini foam roller and other fitness accessories. But Equinox wants to separate certain sensory experiences.
Tumblr media
The lounge at Equinox Hotel Hudson Yards.
The hotel property adheres to Equinox’s broader brand pillars: movement, nutrition, and regeneration. For optimal sleep, Norton suggests activating the “dark, quiet, and cool” feature on the in-room iPad. Within 20 seconds, the shades will drop, the temperature will cool to 66 degrees, and all the lights will turn off.
Restaurateur Stephen Starr assists with the nutrition component, serving Mid-Atlantic cuisine at the Electric Lemon restaurant, while the minibar is stocked with organic gummy bears, crispy almond Brussels sprouts, and other snacks. There’s no desk in the room, as Norton says guests don’t use them anymore, and virtually no paper in a nod toward sustainability.
Founded in 1991, Equinox operates 100 full-service clubs globally and owns SoulCycle, Pure Yoga, and Blink Fitness. But Equinox clearly has aspirations to test the brand beyond fitness. Since just last year, the company has announced a WeWork–style work-space initiative for its clubs, a fitness-focused talent management agency, and a luxury travel service.
Tumblr media
A suite at the Equinox Hotel Hudson Yards.
Hotels may be Equinox’s most lofty initiative yet. With the first Equinox Hotel now open, the company has outlined aspirations to bring the concept to Los Angeles, Seattle, Chicago, and Houston.
The move comes amid boom times for the hospitality sector. From 2009 to 2017, U.S. hotel gross bookings surged from $116 billion to $185 billion, and demand for the sector outpaced growth for airlines, restaurants, and cruise ships, according to a 2019 hospitality and travel report by Deloitte. Hospitality is so hot that brands like Restoration Hardware, West Elm, and even fast-food purveyor Taco Bell have jumped in.
Equinox had thought about opening a hotel before the recession, but cooled to the idea when businesses and consumers cut back on their travel spending. Lately though, a greater societal focus on health and wellness inspired Equinox to revive the concept.
“We are already in the hospitality business—we already serve our members and their needs on a daily basis,” says Harvey Spevak, executive chairman and managing partner at Equinox. “Our members are saying, ‘We love Equinox, we love the experience, give us more.’”
Tumblr media
The indoor pool at the Equinox Hotel Hudson Yards.
While on a tour with Norton, I found myself slightly disoriented when we entered the Equinox Fitness Club. The hotel wasn’t even open to the public, and yet the club was filled with toned and tanned New Yorkers. “Wildstar,” by Italian artist Giorgio Moroder, pulsated as we walked beside the glistening interior pool. A yoga class we passed was full, and soon we were standing on the outdoor terrace, which provides a sweeping, breathtaking view of the Hudson River and downtown New York.
And at this point, my mind lingered on the hotel gyms I’ve visited over the past decade. Often dark, with few fellow guests—basically the antithesis of what I was seeing at Equinox. Guests at the hotel become club members for the duration of their stays. There’s even a large screen behind the concierge that lists upcoming Equinox fitness classes.
“They can’t replicate this,” says Norton of his competition. “You aren’t on a treadmill in a dark room.”
So while their rooms don’t contain gyms, Equinox Hotels will feature fitness centers that serve travelers as well as locals. But the price of that monthly gym membership is already tough for many New Yorkers to stomach, and staying at a hotel for $700 per night may be out of reach for even the most hard-core fitness lovers.
Tumblr media
A suite at the Equinox Hotel Hudson Yards.
Norton admits that the pricing sits in the luxury end of the sector, a world he knows well. Prior to joining Equinox in 2016, he spent 28 years working for Four Seasons, overseeing global hotel operations.
In New York City, the Equinox Hotel is priced under the Mandarin Oriental and the Four Seasons, which each charge roughly $1,000 per night. But rooms at The Standard, the Beekman, and the Conrad cost hundreds of dollars less, and the Mandarin and Four Seasons represent more established brands when it comes to luxury hospitality. What’s to prevent a traveler from booking a room at the Beekman and using some of their savings for a $40 SoulCycle class?
Equinox says it has integrated the wellness experience in a way that rivals can’t match.
“I believe our type of customer lives a certain lifestyle, a high-performance lifestyle,” says Norton. “They want it all. And the idea is, we will help [them] in a way that no one else can.”

The weekend is the perfect time to sit back and browse the internet for sales on everything from mixing bowls that convert into containers to a wireless phone charger for your car.
Either way, we did the legwork to find the best weekend sales on the internet. We’ve combed the reviews and spotted big savings in various categories to bring you a curated list of the can’t-miss deals.

What the reviews say: “Worth every penny. I have iOttie holders in both my cars. I was searching for a wireless charging solution for my iPhone X and came across this. Since I already love the one I have, which is similar to this without the charging capability, I jumped on this. I just swapped out the heads and plugged it in. Charges fast as it supports fast charging. Very happy.”
“The charge does not seem any slower than lightning cable actually. I also no longer need to hunt for the cable while driving. Once the phone snaps into place, it starts charging automatically. Simple.”

The North Face ThermoBall Insulated Vest
Tumblr media

What the reviews say: “I bought this to use as a layer under my shell for colder days on the mountain, but I find myself using it for various reasons off of the mountain almost every day in the colder weather. I put it on under or over my sweatshirts in temps between the 15-30 degrees F, and I stay warm without the bulk of a winter jacket. I expect to be able to use it over a T-shirt or a long sleeve in the early spring and late fall hikes because it heats up significantly more when you are doing anything active in it. However, even if you get too hot in this you can pack it into its own pocket, which turns into a self storage pouch that zips and has a leash so you can pack it away or hang it off of your pack while hiking (small enough to attach to your belt loop if you don’t have a pack with you). Overall I couldn’t be happier with the product and I intend to buy the long sleeve jacket version of this next.”
“This is by far the best vest that I have ever owned. It’s light weight, fits great, looks great!”
Shop it: $90 (was $149), backcountry.com

What the reviews say: “I just LOVE these Pyrex bowls. They are very strong, pleasing to the eyes, and very versatile – I use them for many things in the kitchen. I had previously purchased one bowl from another vendor. However, it did not compare to Macy’s amazing value – I don’t think this value can be beaten! I highly recommend!”
“Bought for my daughter as a house gift and they are really good quality. Not too heavy but also not light & cheap that they will chip or crack easily. I like that the lids are different colors so that it makes it easy to size which glass bowl they go on.”
Shop it: $13 (was $43), macys.com
Wayf Blouson Midi Dress (Regular & Plus Size)
Tumblr media

What the reviews say: “These pictures do not do it justice. This dress is perfect for women with a large chest. The sleeve are a super flattering length (and nicely cover that under the armpit bulge thing). The neck is just low enough to be flattering and attractive but not too revealing. I’m fairly short waisted and the dress hits perfectly and lays nicely. It’s a nice heavy material (and double layered) giving great movement and flow. It’s perfect!”
“I ordered both a medium and a large to try as other reviews had said it ran big. I actually preferred the medium fit. For reference, I am curvy size 12-14 in pants. For me, the dress was semi-fitted on top with some cleavage, flattering waist band, and forgiving flowy skirt that disguises a larger bottom half.”

What the reviews say: “This TV is a 5-star tv with a lot of free channels and apps… you don’t even need cable…. this TV is better than Samsung, LG and any other major brand… I was hesitant to buy it but my wife convinced me and I am 100% satisfied with my 65” TV.”
“This is the third Hisense we have purchased. We still have our other two, 6 years and going great, just wanted to get a bigger one for another room. The quality and picture are great. The price was unbelievable, great deal for a 4K. We opted for these tv’s bc they are very thin and you can put them on full motion mounts with ease. When they are up against the wall they are nice and flush so you don’t have a tv sticking a mile out of the wall.”
Shop it: $498 (was $648), walmart.com
Ninja Foodi Pressure Cooker OP302
Tumblr media

What the reviews say: “The Ninja Foodi Pressure Cooker and Crisper is an amazing product that has changed the way that I cook. Like most pressure cookers it speeds up the times for cooking almost anything, but the way this one is designed it allows you to add that sautéed flavor and brown the tops of anything without having to transfer it to the oven.”
“First off when they say this thing can do everything, they are telling the truth. This item is a slow cooker, a pressure cooker, an air fryer, a dehydrator, and a ‘broiler/crisper’ … Overall, a fantastic product that impressed me even on its first use.

Picture of Princess Kate wearing the very same shoe!”
“The best athletic shoe ever! Pillow soft, with comforting support for athletic feet. The perfect shoe! Love the color. Zappos customer service is the best!”

What the reviews say: “I am completely delighted with these sheets in every way. They are buttery soft without feeling fragile. The deep pockets are extremely generous on my pillow top mattress with plenty of room to spare but I’ve not had issues with the bottom sheet bunching. It’s remained nice and flat. My only complaint is that I don’t want to get out of bed now!”
“Very soft. I like a lower sheet count because I find the sheets last longer. Often, though, a lower sheet count means a stiffer sheet, but not these. I ordered a sage green, King. Deep pockets and the color was what I expected.”

Tumblr media
So you have a rocking website and maybe even started a blog and social media channels to grow a loyal audience.
But maybe your engagement just isn’t what it used to be or you’re tired of hearing crickets each time you press “publish”. If this is the case, it may mean it’s time to consider other mediums to stay at the top of your audience’s mind.
Growing your social media following can be challenging. But keeping your fans engaged? That’s the real test for businesses trying to sell on social media.
Businesses that publish weak, uninspired content are hurting their bottom line. Their customers are losing interest, because the business is failing to deliver on social - all of which are key to enhancing the customer experience.
When people follow a page, they’re expecting to be entertained. Businesses need to create content that is on-brand and delights their customers in unexpected ways.
One way to do this is by executing Instagram Story contests to reward your loyal fans.
Social media contests can be a fun, engaging way to connect with your fans while also getting valuable data.
Marketers can execute contests to discover an engaged segment of fans that they can use to create a custom audience for retargeting campaigns.
With the popularity of Instagram Stories, businesses are turning to the platform to connect and reward their fans with prizes and giveaways. Not only are more companies shifting to working in virtual teams, but customers are also turning to social media now more than ever…
Making it essential that you have a strategy to meet your audience where they are and reap the benefits.
Before we look at a few Instagram Story contest formats, let’s examine why the platform is so effective for engaging fans.
Leveraging Instagram Stories to Engage Customers
Instagram Stories are becoming more popular by the day.
As of last year, Instagram Stories had 500 million daily active users (DAU) and was growing by 20% every six months.
Tumblr media
In addition, Instagram Stories bring a new level of customized content to Instagram.
Businesses can publish photos or videos to their story with tagged locations, hashtags, music, polls, forms, and other added features.
Business profiles that have more than 10,000 followers are able to add a link to their story. When a link is included, fans can swipe up to be taken to the website.
This was a feature that fans have wanted for years. Approximately 15% of fans have used the swipe up feature on a branded Instagram Story before.
On Instagram, you need to focus on producing high-quality, visual content. This can be intimidating for businesses with limited employees or resources.
Don’t worry. There are plenty of low-cost video production agencies that can help you craft hours and hours of footage to use on Instagram:
Tumblr media
It’s essential to invest in high-quality content. It will drive your engagement and convert more customers.
In addition to video content, you can work with freelance designers to develop branding guidelines to follow on your story contests:
Tumblr media
With such a large user base and so many features, it’s no wonder businesses are turning to Instagram Stories to engage customers.
To get started, I highly suggest using an online whiteboard platform to brainstorm ideas (such as the ones shared below) and to brainstorm with your team.
Need some inspiration? Let’s look at some of the types of contests businesses are launching on the platform.
1. Create a Simple Sweepstakes
Zoma, a mattress brand, launched their #SleeptoWin giveaway last year to showcase their product and engage their Instagram audience:
Tumblr media
The contest invited fans to:
Follow their Instagram page
Like the post
Tag two friends and post their fitness goals
One winner would be selected to receive a free mattress. That’s it! Because it’s so simple, you’re bound to get a lot of entrants.
You should know, though, that those three steps were picked strategically.
The reason for the first step of liking the page should be obvious. It helps grow the business’ following and gives the company a chance to remarket to the customer.
Users were asked to “like” the post, because previously, user activity would appear in their followers’ Discover tab. This has recently been changed, but liking the post will still drive business’ engagement numbers and expose the post to more of their followers organically.
Finally, tagging two friends helps expose more target customers to the brand.
Zoma promoted the contest with a short video that showcased their product and had a text overlay explaining the contest instructions. They shared this in their post and story feed.
Short, quick social media videos like that one are easy to make even if you aren’t an experienced videographer. There is plenty of video editing software that beginners can hack their way through to produce simple social video assets.
The video promotion on Instagram was only one aspect of the digital campaign, though. The #SleeptoWin campaign leveraged social media influencers and existing customers to share testimonials and their experiences with the product.
This content was shared on the company’s Instagram Story feed to promote the contest and the Zoma brand. Those Stories are now saved on the Zoma Instagram’s featured stories section, so users can access them at any time.
Tumblr media
Collectively, Zoma’s #SleeptoWin campaign showcased their products' best features, excited their loyal followers, and compiled a list of eager fans that want to try the mattress.
You can even run a similar campaign across your other platforms as well such as Facebook and Twitter. If you decide to go that route, there are plenty of tools to manage your various social networks under one roof.

2. User-Generated Content Giveaways
Perhaps you want to have your customers do more than add a comment in exchange for the chance to win a free product.
That’s where a user-generated content giveaway comes into play. In this style of giveaway, brands ask fans to create a video or tag them in a photo of them using their product.
Fans need to be creative to publish the best content that will stand out from competitors. This provides the company with a wealth of user-generated content that they can use in various other marketing campaigns.
To encourage your fans to post user-generated content, add the instructions and contest hashtag to your Instagram bio — just like Gili Sports did.
Tumblr media
There are various hashtag generator tools you can use to help come up with unique hashtags for your brand, if you haven’t established any already. Then, when your fans share their content, you can add it to your story and amplify it in your story.
Tumblr media
Depending on what is required to be in the photo or video to enter the contest, this can be a great opportunity to encourage fans to show how they would use your product in its natural environment.
User-generated content will connect with other customers in ways that company-owned product videos can’t. Their unbiased reviews and passion for your product will directly impact your company.
To get as many potential customers participating in the contest as possible, enlist the help of influencers that align with your brand.
By having them participate in the contest, it will expose the campaign to their followers, while growing brand awareness for your company as well.
3. Form Fill Contests
Instagram continuously adds new features that businesses can include in their stories. One useful feature is the questions form that businesses can add to photos and videos.
With the questions form, businesses can ask a specific question or write a statement in the box.
Fans can respond directly to the form that appears in the story. The business will be able to see the responses. If you’re worried about who is going to respond to those responses to provide an even better experience, try incorporating a chatbot tool to automate your responses.
With a form on your story, Instagram can essentially function as a landing page designed for data collection.
All fans need to do to enter is add text to the form on your story, and Instagram will provide you with all the responses. Then, you can share the ones you like and select a winner.
In the example below, the followers who correctly guessed the location of the brands next pop-up store won a prize.
To enter, all they had to do was add their guess into the question box on the story.
Tumblr media
The brand could sort through the guesses and customize the winning one with a background photo and text before publishing it to their feed.
Just be sure to use a spelling or grammar tool like Grammarly so that your content makes sense and is easy to read by your audience. Otherwise, good luck getting engagement when no one understands the message you’re trying to get across!
Conclusion
When businesses focus on growing their fan bases, sometimes engaging fans falls to the wayside.
Instagram Stories are a simple and effective way for businesses to publish engaging content that their customers want to see.
There’s so many features built into Instagram Stories, which makes the platform ripe for contests. Three of the most popular formats are simple sweepstakes, user-generated content giveaways, and form fill contests.
By promoting contests in your Instagram Stories, you’ll delight existing fans while bringing a whole new segment of fans to your page.

Casper Mattress review: Save 40% this Bank Holiday
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ask someone to name a bed-in-the-box brand and the chances are they’ll say Casper. After launching in the US in 2014, the company became one of the fastest-growing consumer brands ever and it has quite a list of celebrity backers, including Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire and designer Steven Alan. In the years since hordes of competitors have appeared on the scene, but Casper still remains the best-known make.
So apart from being the first to sell these rolled-up, vacuum-packed, easily transportable, boxed mattresses, is there anything else that stands out about Casper? What kind of sleepers does it suit best? And how does the Casper compare to other types of mattresses?

Casper Mattress review: What you need to know
Unlike the US Casper, which uses a combination of foam and latex, the UK model has an all-foam construction comprising four different layers. The top comfort layer is 33mm of open-cell foam, which mimics the feel of latex and below this there’s 33mm of memory foam, a 33mm transition layer and finally 140mm of supportive foam at the base.
For those who are quick at maths, that makes the Casper 240mm deep in total, which is more or less the same as its all-foam rivals Emma and Leesa and means it’ll work with all standard fitted sheets.
The layering means you’ll be sleeping on an upside-down mattress if you flip it but Casper advises rotating the bed from top to toe every three to six months. Be warned that at 38kg for a king size, you might need someone to help. You can use the mattress with any base that’s solid and flat and, unlike many of its competitors, the Casper can be used with both hot water bottles and electric blankets.
Since its beginnings, Casper has made only minor tweaks to the UK version of its mattress. The latest version, introduced at the end of last year, added “contour cuts”, which Casper claims help relieve pressure while maintaining “comfort, support, temperature, and durability”.
A mattress cover is by no means essential, but using one will keep your Casper mattress clean and hygienic for longer. Casper recommends a breathable, cotton mattress protector over a polyester one – its own mattress protector will set you back from £70, depending on which size you need.
The Casper is available in all UK sizes from single to super king (as well as EU sizes) and it’s backed by a ten-year warranty. It’s sold exclusively online, either via Casper or Amazon and, if you don’t like the feel of it, there’s an 100-day money back guarantee. During this period if you contact Casper via phone or email they’ll come and collect it, free of charge.

Casper Mattress review: Price and competition
Prices for the Casper are £400 for single, £600 for double and £700 for king. That’s a very similar pricing structure to all-foam mattresses from& Eve, Leesa and Emma. Other well-known names in the bed-in-a-box market include Otty and Simba, whose hybrids are among our favourite mattresses. Otty is cheaper than Casper, costing only £500 and £600 for a double and king, respectively, while Simba will set you back £650 and £750 in those sizes.
Like all bed-in-a-box mattresses, Casper claims it will give you more bang for your buck than a pocket-sprung mattress. In fact, you can get a decent pocket-sprung mattress for under £700. The Sealy Nostromo, which has a pocket-sprung core and latex top layer, costs £490 in single. If your pockets are deeper, there’s the Somnus Supremacy Marquis 1400 – a high-end pocket-sprung mattress with supreme comfort and exceptionally breathable materials which will set you back £1,449 for a single.
Casper Mattress Review: Comfort and performance
I’d advise unpacking your mattress right onto the bed frame, because as soon as you take it out of the box and its vacuum packaging, it quickly expands. In fact, you can lie (and even sleep) on it straight away, although the manufacturer says it can take 24 hours to completely form. You might notice a bit of off-gassing, but the odours aren’t as strong as some other foam mattresses and they disappear within a few days.
Lying on the mattress for the first time, it gave me immediate comfort, but I also felt supported and lifted up. With some bed-in-a-box mattresses, you get a sunk, cradled feeling but I didn’t find that with the Casper.
Back sleepers will know how hard it is to find the right mattress. But with the Casper, I felt instant comfort under my shoulders, and my spine felt as if it was supported in all the right places. Lying on my side was also comfortable, with good moulding, and I had no aches and pains in my hips and shoulders. Finally, I found the Casper mattress comfortable on my front, and felt as though my hips remained at a similar level to my shoulders, which isn’t always the case with softer mattresses. To caveat that, I weigh around 55kg, so of a heavier person might find it softer.
If you do move positions, rolling over is easy enough and the Casper is on par with other all-foam beds in terms of partner disturbance – that is, you might feel them toss and turn, but only a bit.
Crucially, though, despite Casper’s claims that the mattress can be used on any base, I found it most comfortable atop a solid platform. When placed on a sprung slatted base, the mattress can feel less stable and  also lack support when it warms up and becomes softer.
One of the main criticisms of bed-in-a-box mattresses is that they can make you feel clammy at night. I definitely found the Casper warmer than a pocket-sprung mattress, so if you’re prone to getting hot at night, you might be better off with something with natural fillings.

Casper Mattress Review: Verdict
Casper is one of the top players in the bed-in-a-box industry and its UK mattress is a winning combo for a comfortable and supportive night’s sleep.
I found it delightfully comfortable when sleeping on my back, side, and front, and although it was noticeably warmer than a pocket sprung mattress, I never found it excessively hot or clammy.
Unlike some of its rivals, however, the Casper mattress can feel softer as it gets warm, and also loses some of its firmness during the initial break-in period, so it might not be the best choice for those looking for the highest levels of support.
It’s too soon to tell how the Casper will last in the longer-term as the company has only been in business a few years, but there’s nothing to suggest it’ll sag. All in all, then, it’s a comfortable and versatile medium-firm mattress that should be suitable for the majority of prospective customers.
