And The Winner Is........

even without being washed it makes me wanna buy it

A few weeks ago we ran a competition for 'best used car video ad'.

We had lots of submissions, so first, thanks to everyone who took a shot.

The winner, however, is Djgregallen.

The spot works great. Well shot, great editing, narration, music, use of graphics.

It's a real model for what a video ad for a used car should be.

As such, I am now armed with an example to take to autotrader.com, edmunds.com and lots of other used car websites.

It won't be difficult to show them that a video like this is a pretty compelling sales tool.

Greg is getting his check for $200.

I wanted to send cash, but Lisa says a check is better - though I think 2 one hundred dollar bills makes a more dramatic presentation when you open the envelope.

In any event, we've also asked Greg to create an instructional video on how he did it.

Next up is the Real Estate Challenge.

Another $200 on the table

We've had some entries so far, but there are still two weeks to go and the field is wide open.

I'm looking for something I can take to major online realty companies and say 'now THIS will sell a house in 1 minute'.

So get out your cameras and take a shot.

You can use your own house or apartment if you like

The place doesnt' have to be for sale.
