Hhgregg goes social

Appliance and electronics leader Hhgregg is opening a store in Memphis, Tenn., and in the Southhaven, Miss., area today -- the Southaven store is Hhgregg’s first store in the state of Mississippi. To introduce local-area shoppers to its brand, the company is turning to Facebook .

The Indianapolis-based retailer is launching its "Show Me Your State" Facebook photo contest to Tennessee and Mississippi residents until mid-November. Residents can download a picture of Hhgregg's mascot, "hh," take a picture of him at their favorite location in the state, and post it to his Facebook page for a chance to win a prize. It's another great way to encourage in-store shoppers to interact with the company online.

What is your company doing to bridge the gap?

PS - How cute is 'hh'?
