[Needs a deal]

Can we please get Jim's first black Friday webcast soon I'm starting to go crazy waiting for the first show Edited August 27, 2012 by bigjimslade

Hi everyone! I am in Las Vegas and been thinking about the webcasts on my long walks between buffets. I can tell you we are going to have a new platform with NO ADS. The new platform will be 100% social so everyone can follow along. We will do contests and other fun things. I also got new HD webcam.

 

I do the show for all of you. What are your ideas or thoughts? Post them here. I will do a test webcast sometime in Sept.

cant wait

1) a prediction webcast - thoughts and ideas on what the hot items will be and guesses at the prices

2) I would love a techie one, one where what type of specs to look for in desktops and laptops for BF.

3) Tips on how to best set up for a BF campout and tips on the best strategy for organizing your BF shopping trip (visit gd for the ads, use the list feature, double check it, etc etc)

1. Tips on Tablet/E-Reader: it is still big... I agree with Noehlp that a techie one would be nice.

2. Tips on how to beat the crowd on the online retailer such as what time their website change to the next day's stuff .

I was thinking about us gotta dealers starting a thing where each of us send gigantic box of straws to the Walmart headquarters. That's like 500 2 foot boxes of straws, that would get the message across we want that ad!!!!

Sending you letters and fan mail

How about some guest appearances from managers of the big stores or interviews with their employees with behind the scenes stories.

That would make the shows even better... And maybe the 24 hour show.... And mrs Jim slate

Keep the ideas coming!

 

There is no Mrs. Slade. I am still very single.

I was thinking that seeing as the start times are getting earlier and earlier you could do one on how you plan to celebrate Thanksgiving at the store cooking the turkey and watching the game and having to run in while it's still on

If you do a tech one on computers, include something about large screen tvs too. They have overrun the market and I forget why I want/don't want different features.

I think if there is someway you could get the chief involved in the technology show that would be very helpful

Hi Everyone,

 

Maybe a recap from last year with price predictions for this year. I like the ideas of reviewing features of electronic items and the idea of having store managers come on and talk about BF.

 

On another note, have you looked at Google+ (G+)? They have "Hangouts" which I think would be a great fit for the webcasts you do.

Great ideas!!! Keep them coming!!

Do a trial run first, another site was trying to do it with a podcast and they had problems.

 

Plus, google+

No ads is good Although I'm not so sure about using Google+. I kinda liked the UStream format if the ads can be removed. Also, I agree with doing a 2011 recap with predictions for 2012. Perhaps guests for a few webcasts can be arranged. Maybe your manager friend from the local Best Buy you camp out at.

 

And don't worry. Your handy dandy partner in crime of sorts SC will be calling in, one way or another
