Submit Your Vendor Video Elevator Pitch to MSNBC’s “Your Business” Show
One of the benefits of attending the 4th Annual Pharma Networking Dinner Reception on June 4, 2008 at the Princeton Marriott is that all attendees will have the opportunity to have their 60-second “elevator pitch” videotaped digitally at the event. After the event, approved videos will be included in a Vendor Video Showcase DVD that will be offered FREE to pharma brand managers.
There is no fee to have your pitch videotaped digitally at the Networking Dinner Reception. You only pay if you are satisfied and wish to have the video included on the Showcase DVD. The charge is nominal and includes the digital file you can use any way that you want.
What else can you do with your Video Sales Pitch to promote your business?
Here’s an idea that I got from Leexan Hong, MS Ed, President, CTE Healthcare Communications who will be attending the dinner reception. Leexan will submit his video clip to an MSNBC show entitled “Your Business,” which features 60-second videos of small companies that have entered a contest to win a makeover for their businesses.
“Your Business,” hosted by JJ Ramberg, airs Sundays at 7:30 a.m. Eastern. The program focuses on the world of America’s small business entrepreneurs, featuring profiles, news, advice and tips.
You too can submit your Vendor Video Showcase “elevator pitch” to MSNBC.
Other ways in which you can use your video sales pitch:
- Upload it to YouTube and embed it on a page of your website,
- Better yet, embed your video on a page on the Pharma Marketing Network portal site, which gets almost 200,000 unique visits per month and is top-rated on Google searches for pharmaceutical marketing. The best place to embed your video is within a listing in the Pharma Marketing Vendors Directory,
- Insert your idea here! E-mail me and I’ll pass it on. Meanwhile, REGISTER NOW and be sure to get your seat at the reception and your video on our DVD!
Hope to see you in Princeton on June 4th! And, please, drink responsibily or have a designated driver!
