Free Bear Friday

by Tim on January 15, 2010

I'm officially starting Free Stuff Friday here on my blog. It's where you send me free stuff, with your logo of course, and I showcase it here on the blog. We get to have fun with it, and you get publicity. Pretty sweet right?

First up is the ThumbVu Bear. OK so I realize now that you don't see the logo from these shots, so I included the banner.. But you see how my kids are already loving it. So hat's off to John Guanzon for that! And yes there have been disagreements over who gets to hold the bear..

What is ThumbVu? Well it's a traffic exchange where you view thumbnails before seeing the site. You essentially get to pick which site you want to full view which is great for finding sites you haven't seen before. And it's even greater if you figure out how to get your photo to show in it.. (see right =P)

The benefit to this is that you get branding even if your site isn't shown. It's been proven over and over that repetition in advertising gets you better results so this gives you more repetition without costing anything.

As a bonus I created this video in a splash page, and I'm currently using it to advertise my blog. I'll have to post later results on it for you guys to see. Will be interesting to say the least!

Reminder to those that send kid-style gifts (like teddy bears) to Tim — he does have TWO kids, LOL.

Make it a GREAT Friday everyone!

Yea… I’m sorry bro, didn’t go thru my head to send two at the time of sending… doh!

But thanks man for the kudu’s and I am glad you enjoyed it!

All I can say is

WOW!

Great idea and I’m working on something to send the kids. Seems like a very affordable way to advertise while making someone smile.
Question:
What size are the girls wearing at this point?
Favorite colors?
Any other valuable info?
Looks like the girls are going to have Xmas 360 days a year..LOL

Thanks Tim,
Douglas J Gregory

hey Tim

wondered what the bear was about. Thumbvu came before your blog. I sew doll clothes and sell them on eBay the bear is 18 inches?

Would love to send a custom outfit to go with bear ha ha. I can even market it on eBay…seriously you may be onto something!
