Dallas Market Center Reaches Social Media Milestone

Dallas Market Center (DMC) recently announced that its Facebook page has reached 10,000 “Likes.” To celebrate, DMC is offering special hotel rates, up to 50 percent off for three nights at select Dallas hotels during March Markets (21-24) to any person who “Likes” the page.

“We’re thrilled to see our Facebook page reach 10,000 ‘Likes,'” said Cindy Morris, COO, Dallas Market Center. “We believe engaging with buyers, exhibitors, reps and others on social media platforms like Facebook is key to building relationships. We look forward to the next 10,000 ‘Likes’ and continuing the social conversation.”

DMC is offering special hotel rates up to 50 percent off based on availability at the Belmont Hotel, Hotel Indigo and NYLO Hotel. Participants may contact Market Travel® by calling (214) 744-7444 for more information and referencing “Facebook Special” until March 1 to take advantage of the March 21-24, 2013 hotel special.

To commemorate the social media milestone, more than 230 DMC employees gathered together to form a “10K” outline and took photos holding signs thanking the social media community, which were then posted to an album on the DMC Facebook page. The Market Center is also active on other social platforms including Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram and Know It All, the Market Center’s blog.
