brynnfromtheblock Posted September 15, 2006 Posted September 15, 2006 So Brad and Ross how do you guys get you noticed by CNN and other stations, do you contact them? do they just hear about you and contact you? We could do a "GottaDeal" campaign if it would help.... once the first ad is leaked we could each send something to our local stations... you have so many members now that some of them would be bound to get noticed.
mrn8 Posted September 15, 2006 Posted September 15, 2006 I know that last year many of us contacted local new stations and told them about GottaDeal and the Black Friday features. Some reporters contacted Brad and I believe some just made mention of the website in their articles.
Brad Posted September 15, 2006 Posted September 15, 2006 Last year I organized something on the forum where many members compiled lists of contact information for newspapers and TV stations. I must have contacted over 100 media outlets and heard back from only one. Then CNN contacted me, ran the story, and then all of a sudden everyone wanted to do a story. So this year I don't plan to contact anyone. The site (and BF in general) was such big news last year that this year I expect them to come to GD instead of us having to go to them (and that has already started ).
neice0510 Posted September 15, 2006 Posted September 15, 2006 Yeah I remember after the CNN story broke. I couldn't get on, and I was freakin out. And then the lite version came on later. So I bet alot of people will remember from last year.
