Ever since I’ve started blogging, I’ve had the opportunity to attend one or two product launches here and there. All I have to do is get dressed and turn up.
Meanwhile, the marketer needs to organize the invites, provide the door gifts, spoil me with free flow of food and drinks, show me the new product, repeat a sales pitch about the new product, and then keep his fingers crossed that I will make a mention of it on my blog.
I don’t understand why that has become the industry standard to “managing” bloggers. Don’t they know? Bloggers like to have fun and bloggers like to preen themselves in front of a camera.
I love what TriScents is doing. They’ve invited everyone (including non-bloggers) to submit a YouTube video on why they should win a complete home makeover. The winner with the most votes will receive a $20,000 home makeover with celebrity home stylist, Tayna Memme!
I looked through the semifinalists and found this one by three-year-old Ashley who’ve had to live with poop smell from diapers ever since her triplet siblings were born!
Isn’t that a lot more fun? You should visit the semi-finalist gallery to see some of the quality videos out there. Vote for your favorite submission with up to one vote per day through June 7.
