It's a Shark Eat Shark World Out There. Let Us Solve Your Online Marketing Problems.

We’re wrapping up May’s blog contest, and you can vote for your favorite post til Friday! In the meanwhile, we’re launching June’s blog contest. We want you to tell where it hurts when it comes to online marketing. All  you have to do is leave us a comment and tell us an online marketing problem your organization facing. We’ll pick a winning comment that we think sounds really interesting to solve, do a blog post series on it and you WIN A CHUMBUDDY. Really. It’s that simple. (And if you don’t think your life will be improved by the ownership of a 7-foot shark sleeping bag, you can forgo the ChumBuddy and choose either a $200 gift certificate to Moosejaw or Zappos.)

Is your company struggling with measuring your online marketing efforts? Are you having a hard time figuring out the right mix of activities? Do you wonder if your social media activities are a waste of time? Are you using the right keywords on your paid search campaign? Does your blog post competition copy sound like a late-night infomercial? Let us know!

So here’s how it’ll work.

1) You leave a detailed comment on our blog about a problem you or your organization is facing. We’re looking for a topic that isn’t too obscure and we think others can learn from as well.

2) You have to leave your comment by midnight MT on June 30th. This is not hard so don’t wait to the last minute like your senior paper in college. There will be no extensions given.

3) Your comment can’t be anonymous. We’re looking for real problems from real people.

4) We’ll pick a winner by Friday, July 2nd and announce it on the blog. Then we’ll do a series around your problem on the blog in July.

So to recap, you tell us a problem and if we pick your problem, you get an awesome prize and then we’ll tell you how to fix it on our blog.

The Not-So-Small Print: The ChumBuddy is a prototype and may never be built. Don’t weep. We’re pretty sure Moosejaw or Zappos aren’t prototypes.
