Brad Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 Use this thread to post or discuss any media appearances you see for the site. Be sure to only post stories from this year, not from 2005. Here is the first one. I did a phone interview this morning and it should be in the paper tomorrow: http://www.azcentral.com/business/articles/0925biz-holiday25-ON.html For ideas on how to help spread the word about this site, see this thread: http://forums.gottadeal.com/showthread.php?t=49046
USC Becca Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 nice typo - I'm guessing they meant shopping? strategies for day-after-Thanksgiving shipping
Brad Posted September 26, 2006 Author Posted September 26, 2006 Bump for this morning. Welcome to all our new visitors from Arizona :)
noehlp Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 AWESOME! Everyone get ready for GD (GottaDeal) to grow more! I personally can't wait. The more the merrier. BTW, Brad, have you thought about notifying some press about the TMX site you have going? Also, your age REALLY surprised me!
lennon2004 Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 Also, your age REALLY surprised me! Brad, is there anything members can do to help y'all get more press?
KayTee Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 Great article! I will be sure to spread the word!
RossMAN Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 Brad, is there anything members can do to help y'all get more press?Hijack NBC's "Today" show and demand everyone who bought 20+ Elmo TMX's return them to the store and donate their eBay profits to a local charity. While giving a shout-out to your GottaDeal homies of course
Brad Posted September 26, 2006 Author Posted September 26, 2006 Brad, is there anything members can do to help y'all get more press?I'll be posting a thread in the "BF Basics" forum shortly that will have ways you can spread the word. I'll post a link in this thread when it's done as well.

stationchief Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 Here is the first one. I did a phone interview this morning and it should be in the paper tomorrow: http://www.azcentral.com/business/articles/0925biz-holiday25-ON.htmlI only get the Arizona Republic on weekends. Makes me wish I just bought a paper yesterday. I, too, welcome all my fellow Maricopians to GottaDeal! Enjoy your stay!
lennon2004 Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 And here it is: http://forums.gottadeal.com/showthread.php?t=49046 :)I knew there was a reason I asked you and not Ross. Thanks! :)

I, too, welcome all my fellow Maricopians to GottaDeal! Enjoy your stay! Actually I think the story is in today's paper (was just posted on the web site yesterday) so you could still go out and get one (and an extra one for me )
able Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 wtg brad. im sure you will be extreamly busy with news articles and interviews n the upcoming month or two!
magickallight Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 Brad, you are ONLY 27?!? Man, I feel OLD!!!
stationchief Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 Just picked up the local paper with Brad's article in it tonite. Maybe time to get a lamination kit to comemmorate the first article on BF. And Brad, yer only 27 and the founder of GottaDeal? Wow, you have my envy!
NeepNeep Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 GottaDeal is off to a great start for 2006. Way to go, Brad :)
stationchief Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 nice typo - I'm guessing they meant shopping? Yeah, that type-o is in the print article as well. Someone should've caught that one when they put it online and before they printed it.
Firemansgal311 Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 http://www.floridatoday.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060927/BUSINESS/609270352/1003/business Looks like they copied the exact article from the AZ paper.... ETA: but they fixed the typo.:)
Novac Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 Per the article, they got it off the "GANNETT NEWS SERVICE" so other papers using that service might start running it soon, too.
Firemansgal311 Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 Well in that case the GottaDeal stuff might be appearing on Channel 10 in Knoxville because as I remember WBIR was owned by Gannett.:) Look out we'll soon have an influx of East Tennesseeans:)
stationchief Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 Just so there's no mass confusion here: Erica Sagon, the reporter who wrote Brad's article, is a reporter hired for the 'AZ Republic'. Now, the 'Ganett News Service' is who produces that Phoenix local paper and also produces many others around the country and even around the world. Therefore Brad's article could end up in any of the papers Ganett makes. Be on the lookout. Here's a list of local newspapers Ganett produces. And yes, the 'Florida Today' is listed:Ganett Newspapers And just for the record, the 'AZ Republic' has the original article and had it first. With Erica's type-o and all. So ...
