Heather Brown-Smith wins HTC EVO 4G in contest to spread the word about ShopSavvy, the local retail shopping companion for 6+ million mobile users.

Big in Japan, the leader in barcode-powered shopping by mobile consumers, announced that Heather Brown-Smith, 44, of Valencia, Calif., has won the company’s first “Tweet to Win” contest by helping to spread the word about ShopSavvy®, the local retail shopping app for the iPhone, Android and Nokia smartphones. More than 220,000 Twitter users entered the contest. Brown-Smith was awarded an HTC EVO 4G smartphone.

Big in Japan also launched a second “Tweet to Win” contest, beginning today and accepting entries through Sept. 30.

“ShopSavvy is much more than a price-comparison app; it is a community in which users add value to the shopping experiences of others and share information about the savings they’ve received,” said Alexander Muse, co-founder of Big in Japan. “In this spirit, ‘Tweet to Win’ engages social network users to spread the word about ShopSavvy — with great results.”

To participate in the second “Tweet to Win” contest, entrants must follow ShopSavvy’s Twitter account (http://twitter.com/shopsavvy ) from their own Twitter account. Entrants must then issue the status update from their Twitter account shown on the “Tweet to Win” contest page (http://biggu.com/promo ). One winner will be selected randomly from all valid entries.
