Cost Plus World Market Celebrates Hollywood Awards Season With Its Facebook-Only “Movie Lovers Sweepstakes”

OAKLAND, Calif. (January 25, 2011) – It’s awards season in Hollywood and Cost Plus World Market (www.worldmarket.com) today launches its Facebook only “Movie Lovers Sweepstakes” for film buffs. The sweepstakes begins on Tuesday, January 25 and runs through Tuesday, February 15 offering World Market fans a chance to win free movies for a year, a 52” plasma screen TV, and a $1,000 World Market gift card. World Market Facebook fans can enter for a chance to win the “Movie Lovers Sweepstakes” at www.facebook.com/worldmarket.

With two free movie tickets a week for a year, it’s a great way to catch up on the latest blockbusters. And, for those nights in, the winner’s big screen TV and World Market gift card help create a perfect movie night. From World Market’s old-fashioned stovetop popcorn poppers (we sell the popcorn kernels, too!) and popcorn bowls to theater box candies (Lemonheads or Junior Mints, anyone?) and retro sodas, the specialty retailer has the ingredients for a fun movie night at home. If something a little more sophisticated is planned for your Hollywood Awards-themed party, pick up an assortment of sparkling wines, Champagne flutes, and gourmet foods for your guests.

And, for those who don’t win the $1,000 World Market gift card, the store has affordable and unique options for its customers’ entertaining needs.

Since 1958, specialty retailer World Market has been the shopping destination for gift giving, home décor, furniture, jewelry and accessories, and gourmet food and wine.
