Startups: would you sponsor a netbook?
- daeken 17y agoNo. The likelihood of someone seeing it, remembering it for later, going to your site, and using your product is slim. I can't see a decent (read: any) ROI coming out of it.
- Tichy 17y agoI would if you were Leah Culver: http://leahculver.com/laser-etched-laptop/ http://leahculver.com/laser-etched-laptop/ I expect that one was viewed a lot.
- midnightmonster 17y agoLike the million-dollar homepage, this is an idea that won't work a second time. Especially for a less popular blogger with cheap-looking stickers on a cheap netbook.
- Tichy 17y agoThat is why I said I would only do it if he was Leah Culver ;-) I think for tech celebrities it would work again and again, though. If you know somebody tends to be in the spotlight, and tends to drag a notebook around, it seems like a good way to advertise. Maybe if the guy created a web site that presents target bloggers, and advertisers could decide who they want to sponsor, it could work? Some of those bloggers might be able to make a convincing case. Then again the ones who go to all the conferences and are popular there can usually afford their own netbooks.
- alain94040 17y agoI'll pay about $1 for that guy to put a FairSoftware sticker on his laptop. That sounds like the most I'd spend. Multiply that by the space on the laptop and he could make a cool $15. Somehow, the million-pixel homepage had more potential!
- medianama 17y agoAs a matter of principle - I don't pay to advertise my start-up.
