rsthayer Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 I tried to get in on this one but I went to our local Kmart and Walmart and both stores told me no no and no !!! Kmart said it was against their store policy for them to post anything with their store logo on the internet. I told them "but you are not posting it I am" and they said sorry we just can not do it. and walmart just said "NO" not very nice people at all. So good luck to all who get better results than I did!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbdinos Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Task #1: Made a GD Ornament and put it on a tree display at Lowe's and left it there.....http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j187/jbdinos/Miscellaneous/Gottadeal/DSC00082.jpghttp://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j187/jbdinos/Miscellaneous/Gottadeal/DSC00083.jpg Task #2: Failed... I was told that the employees cannot do it without manager approval and the managers wouldn't approve it because to take a picture in "uniform" with the sign would mean that the store was supporting the site and unless corporate tells them to they can't do it But I tried.... even looked for young and new employees... Task #3: Still trying... so far I can't find any public bulletin boards I can put it on... all of them at our stores have glass fronts and are locked so only the store can post stuff in them. Task #4: First landmark... "THE" Pig... this giant concrete pig is probably older than I am and has been at the house down the road from me for as long as anyone remembers .... everyone knows where "THE" Pig is if I try to tell them where I live... http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j187/jbdinos/Miscellaneous/Gottadeal/DSC00065.jpg Next... The Lanier Mansion a little history can be found here: http://wikimapia.org/8048/J-F-D-Lanier-Mansion-National-Historic-Landmarkhttp://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j187/jbdinos/Miscellaneous/Gottadeal/DSC00080.jpghttp://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j187/jbdinos/Miscellaneous/Gottadeal/DSC00079.jpg And finally Broadway fountain.... here's some info on it: http://www.wunderground.com/wximage/viewsingleimage.html?mode=singleimage&handle=Allez&number=11&album_id=7&thumbstart=0&gallery=http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j187/jbdinos/Miscellaneous/Gottadeal/DSC00077.jpghttp://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j187/jbdinos/Miscellaneous/Gottadeal/DSC00075.jpghttp://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j187/jbdinos/Miscellaneous/Gottadeal/DSC00076.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbdinos Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Oh and the Lowe's manager should have allowed pics... Thanks to Brad I did spend over 35.00 in Lowe's... Brad just HAD to make me go to the Christmas stuff... and Lowe's had 4 new sets of Colt's ornaments.... so if Gottadeal is gonna sponsor Lowe's like that... then Lowe's should support Gottadeal... :) Seriously though... Thanks Brad!!!! I love my new ornaments :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsthayer Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 ok as I posted earlier tried to get task #2 done with kmart and walmart and failed soooo my husband was going to lowes this evening so I tagged along with my signs. Task #2 failed again they said they could not take pictures with their uniform on so I took my gottadeal logo printout and stuck it on one of their christmas trees and took a pic. hopefully this will count . when i put my paper on the tree a lady just stood there staring at me like I lost my mind I told her "Hey this is a great site you should check it out " my husband thought we were going to get kicked out! I cannot get my pic on this post for some reason so I will email it to you with my gottadeal user name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Posted October 25, 2009 Author Share Posted October 25, 2009 Here are pics from the member jbahlers: The Gottadeal logo has found it's way to three local landmarks in Madison, WI. First: Camp Randall stadium, home to the Wisconsin Badgers and the site of a Civil War camp.Second: The Gottadeal logo resting on Bascom Hill, the center of campus for one of the largest colleges in the country--the University of Wisconsin. When it's warm, hundreds will study and play frisbee on the hill. At the top you can see Bascom Hall.Third: Mickie's Dairy Bar. This is an undergraduate magnet for hangover food. It's an institution, and one of those things you have to do when in Madison. Mickie's is so famous that when ESPN comes to town they always stop and do a piece on it. The neat thing: I live upstairs! Anyhow, there are my photos for the entry. Keep up the great work, I love the site! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
