Best Video Love Letter to a Product Will Earn $500 Gift Certificate in ShopWiki’s “I Heart My [Blank]” Video Review Contest
NEW YORK, NY — January 26, 2007 — Whether you've been together for years or just a few weeks, you know that this is the one. Maybe you take them with you wherever you go, or they're at home, waiting for you after a hard day's work. And you know they would never, ever cheat on you. This Valentine's Day, show the world you are in love...with your favorite product!
ShopWiki today kicked off its “I Heart My [Blank]” video contest, calling on consumers to demo their most cherished objects on video for the opportunity to win a $500 gift certificate and the satisfaction of sharing beloved products with the ShopWiki community.
Video love letters can be uploaded to ShopWiki.com now through February 12 and users can vote for their favorite clips through February 13. The highest-voted video will be announced on Valentine’s Day. This Grand Prize Winner will have his or her unhealthy obsession rewarded with the choice of a $500 gift certificate from one of five major online retailers: Amazon.com, Best Buy, Target, Overstock.com or Apple.
“If there’s a product you absolutely love, odds are someone else will love it too,” said Shoshana Winter, ShopWiki Shopping Expert. “With video love letters, shoppers will get to discover great products by actually seeing how real people use them and talk about them.”
Sample videos (viewable at www.shopwiki.com/val07/) feature Converse High Tops and a sushi pen.
ShopWiki, the comprehensive resource for online shopping, already features more than 500 usertime compensation of $50 for each accepted video (valid through the end of February).
