need ideas for a product launch at InterNext 2004
 

I am launching a range of new products in Vegas during InterNext 2004, and I want to do something a little different

Any ideas or thoughts would be appreciated

Dick Slurpee t-shirts?

:thumbsup

Funny.....

Very Funny ;-)

no one wants some free stuff?

no one wants a crazy fucking party

cmon losers - give me your ideas

uhhhh butt plugs?

are you looking for products or t-shirt idea's?

u want something free..

give ppl readily available promos to use

but do something like "Chowda's site is amazing" and film some girls doing something sexual

u do that for the big guys and they will love u like anal.

I have the solution.

Stubby holders :thumbsup

Dan think of past conventions you've gone to, where you've gone up to a booth and thought "why the fuck are they giving this away?"
Look at it from a webmaster's point of view. Everyone gives away free shit, but hardly anyone gives away something the webmasters *need* or will regularly *use* (other than the t-shirts).
Be sure to have your products out there, with free samples or at least a product sample they can hold in their hand and look at if they can't keep it. Print up a nice full-color flyer showing all of your stuff. The best flyer I've seen is one that TrafficCashGold did, a 3-page foldout with screenshots of all of their sites on it - you could instantly look at it and see if they had something for your traffic plus it had the other important info like $$/signup, etc.

Anyhow, it's not hard to do something different - it's just what kind of a crowd you're wanting to attract. Do you want the fuckoffs who are just there for free booze and peep shows, or do you want the webmasters who actually work?
Therein lies the secret to what you want to do with your booth - although I wouldn't recommend a booth in the first place, it limits your ability to get out and mingle.

flaming bonzos :feels-hot

I was thinking of somehting a little better than cheap gimmicks

More a case of a stunt/event that no one else has done that everyone would be talking about for years to come sort of idea

Is EZYGO the thing you'll be trying to promote?

a few details might help here imho

do this....

Only spend half of what you were going to spend for T-Shirts and other giveaways and have everyone that stops by your both fill out a raffle ticket. Then towards the end of the show pull a name and tell them that you are going to give them (the other half of the money you would have spent on the free giveaways) for a single hand of blackjack (make it like 2500.00) This will cause buzz about your booth and your product...everyone will be talking about it.

Chowda, we are doing this for ChatRoomRomeo.... we have Buff making custom trailers/promos for peoples sites...

if anyone wants to take advantage of this offer e-mail me michael AT hirise dot com

We have some editing time open, so jump on this offer soon....

Well, the ceiling in the Sands Convention center is pretty high, so why not set up one of them portable Bungy Jump contraptions you see at the local State fair and have webmasters bungy jump for dollars. Set up a target or something on the ground and whoever comes closest to a certain $$$ number gets the cash. Kinda like that wind tunnel thingy that was part of someone's booth (i can't rememebr who) a while back. You know the one, the one where a webmaster stands inside and has to grab as much dough as he/she can in a certain period of time?...

Or, similar idea, but with an air bag below and have webmasters jump from a high patform, down onto the target for cash....

There, wild, crazy and memorable enough for ya?!


Just make sure you have loads of insurance...lol

have tons of t-shirts, cups, mouse pads, give me something hot that I'll look at all year long...a calendar.

I have the free speech calendar in front of me daily, so I have a clue as to what day it is...if it was a month to month with room to write in the boxes, I'd use it more.

Half naked chics handing out processor cards?

I think my favorite giveaway was Gamma. You stop by their booth, they gave you cash. No tricks, just stop by and they hand you cash.

human fireball would be a first

:thumbsup

have a raffel, pic 8 winners, then have a game of no limit hold em, winner wins something cool

we all love poker

Yes, Ezygo will be the product/s we are going to promote

But the fact is that we cant say much about it yet, as we have developed a billing model that solevs the MasterCard/Visa 1% chargeback problem, and we dont want everyone to know how we are doing (unitl we have done it of course)
