How does someone show real products from Magellan if they need a Magellan product?

And why not link to a logo?

Flyingember,

I know the rules for the contest are kinda difficult...but please try your best. I am sure there are ways to incorporate a Magellan product into your video: maybe a friend can lend you theirs? Best of Luck.

Caddouch,

1.)Honestly, I have no idea what is going on with iTunes. I have noticed that they stopped recording ratings since Christmas Day. But I believe you are still able to post a review. What you can do is wait a couple days and try again. iTunes complications might be affected to a influx of holiday users.

2.)Look for traffic in 2010. Bare with me till after the holidays and I should have a better idea on when the team will get it done. Please be assured we understand everyone's urgency for traffic and we will do our best to get it up ASAP.

Im happy you enjoy our app. Please let me know anymore feedback or questions you might have.

Happy Holidays!

Great News Guys! I have requested management to change the terms of the Youtube Contest. Now you only need the Magellan Logo displayed in your logo to qualify. So what are you waiting for? Enter now! :p

you made it hard on purpose. I'm not surprised. it's not even clear if you're really with the company you say you are which is super discouraging. For all I know you just want people to make fun of.

if you want participation find something that's less about being mock social and come up with a real contest and then pitch it to the site owner.

I will vouch for Maggie, as I know for a fact that "she" does work for Magellan. The reason I can vouch for this, is because of this...

Link: http://forum.theiphoneblog.com/all-...emium-car-kit-pre-release-unboxing-video.html

I received a Premium Car Kit a full 2 weeks prior to it being available to the general public, and I have also spoken to them on the phone (via Magellan's corporate number). I hope this helps reassure you, or anybody else as to her credibility. :)

Flyingember,

Im sorry you feel that way. I didn't know this contest would cause such negative reaction... Please be assured it was never to mock or make fun of anyone. I came up with the idea personally because I believe it would be a great way to connect with the people who were interested in our products. All we were really looking for was a short quick video... of someone telling us why they would love to win the contest.

As for the fact if I do represent the company? I do and I provided a actual link directing to Magellan homepage which lists all the video contest details. So please be assured your not being Punked.

Yeah, that was kind of out of left field. :eek: I can't see any downside to a company offering up promotional goods to the end user (especially $200+ worth of goods) as a part of an "outside of the box" type of marketing campaign. I'd imagine that the short videos can be fun, straightforward, crazy, or any combination therein...with the only stipulation being that the video needs to be directed at Magellan in one way or another relating to the app or car kit.

Oh well, I guess some people just like the "drawing" type approach where no effort on their part is needed, you just put your name in and hope for the best. :rolleyes:

I'd personally like to thank "Maggie", and the whole Magellan team for all of their help, effort and attention to anything and everything we would like to know about their new and exciting products. You guys are doing a great job, keep it up. :D
