***WIN A $1000 CPU - OcUK Competition!***

[trigger-happy]

PR?

To get people on your friends list to shop at OCUK?

New marketing strategy imo.

 

[Sp00n]

Modernising with twitter and facebook but failing with outer glow.

Once images are submitted to Facetardbook, you all know they then have the Copyright on such images right? You give ownership up when you submit. It's in their Terms and Conditions. Probably the same with Twitter. I'm not sure how things would work out with such a Competition.

Clever marketing TBH ... this kind of money wouldn't even get you a page in a decent national mag. I've got to say it's actually quite a good angle, a lot of companies are looking at ways to utilise FB and twitter to maximise PR.

Side note, though, why are we talking in $$$ ??

dollers? wut.

$1000 sounds better than £600

Sounds better than "Win a £600 CPU!". Weird one none the less.

Got ya.

 

[Sp00n]

Win a ¥82,000 cpu!

 

[Biohazard]

Still, a free £600 processor is quite good for what they are asking. And runner up prizes.

I maybe would, but I don't like twitter. Or more to say I don't really want to go anywhere near it. I take it this is the new marketing strategy?

"No purchase necessary; write to (Overclockers UK - 4 Axis - Millennium Way - High Carr Business Park - Newcastle-under-Lyme - Staffordshire - ST5 7UF) "

How does that work in a photo competition?

 

[G-MAN2004]

Post a picture of myself or whatever holding those pics, on Facebook for every one of my friends to see and take the **** out of? No thanks.

My fee is £3000

Sign up for Facetardbook or Twitter? No thanks. Are OcUK getting kick backs or Private Information from these sites? Why would they want affiliation with them in such a way?

Do you live in 1999?

Keep your money it's a free competition.

http://www.facebook.com/promotions_guidelines.php

Below we have provided a few examples to help you understand how to apply the Promotions Guidelines:

You cannot: Condition entry in the promotion upon a user providing content on Facebook, such as posting on a Wall of a Page, uploading a photo, or posting a status update.

You cannot: Instruct people (in the rules or elsewhere) to sign up for a Facebook account before they enter the promotion.

Comments?

 

[Strife212]

The promotion is not administered through facebook arguably.

Actually not arguably, in no way is it administered through facebook.
