    Jim:
    This looks like its a great marketing tool for you. I did join the Facebook group “You Tube Contest” to check this out. The video you posted trying to get in the sales pitch in before the Acer Aspire booted up is quite novel and is a real attention grabber.
    I thank you for introducing me to Facebook and Social Networking. It actually did lead to some potential clients for me. Now you need to show me how to create a You Tube Video so I can enter the contest.

    Interesting way to market a product by holding a Youtube contest and letting existing product owners demonstrate the benefits of ownership. It’s like harnessing the creativity of the public at large.

    As someone who is not from the Face Book / My Space generation and an infrequent visitor to You Tube, I was intrigued by the idea of marketing products on You Tube via a contest.
    It appears to be a creative and inexpensive way to market a product and develop ideas for future marketing campaigns.

  8. Mike Scesa Says:

    This is a great way to Market your business and services. The fact that it is an inexpensive way to advertise is a plus already in the market we live in today. I will look into this further in the near future.

    Jim,

    Love this! This is an incredible marketing tool! Viewers not only see the product’s usage but it puts a fun twist on it also. It was cool to see all of the different kinds of contests and the associated products that are involved in such a marketing campaign. Very interesting. I agree with the previous commenter regarding this will aid the creative film for sure.

    Awesome job!

    Jim,

    I just saw the cool new 2009 Acer Timeline video contest that now replaces your example Acer Aspire contest of last year. Prizes are much better this year, and there are multiple chances to win. Check out the details at www.acer8hourcontest.com
