Voting underway at YouTube.com for the face and voice of new e-cigarette review site. Winner to be selected by general public from votes cast through October 31st, 2012.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
LOS ANGELES, CA – October 17, 2012 – eCigs HQ (www.ecigshq.com), a consumer-centric electronic cigarette review site, today announced that voting is underway at YouTube.com to determine the Official eCigs HQ Spokesperson. The winner will be decided by YouTube visitors casting their ballots using the “thumbs up” icon. On November 1st, 2012, the spokesperson video with the greatest number of “thumbs ups” will be declared the winner and the cash prizes will be awarded. First Prize is $100; Second Prize is $50; and Third Prize is $25. The three winners will also be presented with offers to provide ongoing spokesperson services for eCigs HQ.
The twenty-five contestants vying for the spokesperson title hail from nations across the globe and are a varied group with no particular “type” dominating. Hopefuls include a comedian, a man clad in plastic bags, a hand puppet, a bible-thumping minister, an earthbound alien, a posh English lady, a biker raising money for charity, a bar fly, and at least one cross-dresser.
“It was our intention to seek out memorable spokespersons that could entertain as well as inform, in an effort to impact the greatest number of e-cigarette consumers,” said eCigs HQ Editor, Laura Conzo Brady. She continued, “We made it a priority to include persons that did not fit the middle-aged, business-suit-wearing, perfectly-inflected-unaccented-English spokesperson stereotype.”
“It’s not that we have anything against the stereotype, but we view the selection of a spokesperson as another way to differentiate our brand,” interjected eCigs HQ Editor, Christian Hollander.
Ms. Conzo Brady added, “Let’s face it, there are literally hundreds of e-cigarette review sites on the web, and while I believe we provide visitors with a better experience by insisting on unbiased reviews, offering exclusive discounts and including consumer feedback, we know that it takes time for a new site in our industry to distinguish itself. We see this spokesperson competition as another step towards that goal.”
