In an effort to encourage member and fan interaction, And1 Taiwan recently announced an online Facebook contest for basketball fans, especially those who follow the NBA.  Three to five (3-5) people are going to be randomly selected and will win a yet-to-be announced And1 gift courtesy of And1 Taiwan.


According to Vivi Chang, contest rules are fairly simple.  Just head over to the And1 Taiwan Facebook fanpage (http://www.facebook.com/and1taiwan) and post pictures, videos, and/or news that are all about the NBA.  They can be funny, dramatic, or basically anything that would interest any NBA fan.  The contest will run until June 15, 2012 (Friday) and I’m assuming that the winners will be announced via their FB fanpage as well.  Posted below a soft copy of their online ad (it’s in Taiwanese, sorry I couldn’t translate it. J )

Again, big thanks to Vivi and And1 Taiwan for sharing the info.  For more details about their contest details, be sure to check out their FB fanpage and should you have any questions, just send them a PM or post on their wall.  But for local info, news, and updates, you can follow us in Twitter (@and1ph) and LIKE us on Facebook (www.facebook.com/and1ph).  And that’s the 411, And Juan!

We recently posted And1 Taiwan’s efforts in promoting the brand in Taiwan in last Tuesday’s “Foreign Flava” blog article via their weekly 5-on-5 basketball games (click HERE for the article) and we’re back with another feature, this time about the And1 Cup annually held by the National University of Tainan.

According to Vivi Chang of And1 Taiwan, the National University of Tainan is one of their sponsored schools and as part of their support for this annual competition, they sponsor/donate some And1 products for the AND1 Cup.  The games are free to watch and will run from April 14 – May 26, 2012.  I've posted some pictures below of this ongoing event, as sent by Vivi via e-mail.

Again, big thanks to Vivi and And1 Taiwan for sharing the info.  You can find out more about this event by visiting their FB fanpage - http://www.facebook.com/and1taiwan.  But for local info, news, and updates, you can follow us in Twitter (@and1ph) and LIKE us on Facebook (www.facebook.com/and1ph).  And that’s the 411, And Juan!

As part of And1 Taiwan’s efforts to promote and strengthen the brand presence in Taiwan, a weekly session of 5 on 5 basketball games are held during Thursdays at the Taipei City Bei-Tou Sports Center - (BTSC).  I got in touch with Vivi Chang of And1 Taiwan via Facebook and e-mail for this installment of the “Foreign Flava” blog feature.

As per Vivi, it’s free to join/play the games and in her words.. “we accept a challenge to anyone who loves to play basketball. Players (And they) can have a friendly match with Timings basketball team (our own team).”


What I personally like about this weekly event is that practically anyone who wants to play a pick-up game with the Timings basketball team can drop by and hoop it up without having to pay for a joining fee.  The court/arena is already paid for by Timings (the local distributor of And1 in Taiwan) and players no longer need to shell out extra cash.  It not only promotes the And1 brand, but it also fosters camaraderie and friendly competition amongst basketball players and And1 fans  in the Taiwan area.

Big thanks to Vivi and the And1 Taiwan Facebook fanpage for sharing the info.  You can check out them out at http://www.facebook.com/and1taiwan.  But for local info, news, and updates, you can follow us in Twitter (@and1ph) and LIKE us on Facebook (www.facebook.com/and1ph).  And that’s the 411, And Juan!
