bigjimslade Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needs a deal Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 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!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Promom Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 How about some guest appearances from managers of the big stores or interviews with their employees with behind the scenes stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Needs a deal Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 That would make the shows even better... And maybe the 24 hour show.... And mrs Jim slate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjimslade Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Keep the ideas coming! There is no Mrs. Slade. I am still very single. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanyon71 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iliveforblckfri Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Needs a deal Posted August 29, 2012 Author Share Posted August 29, 2012 I think if there is someway you could get the chief involved in the technology show that would be very helpful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howpomp Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stationchief Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
