Win Free Tickets To Social Media Marketing and Advertising Miami!

miamiIt seems like Miami is THE place to be lately. First Brandon Marshall signs with the Dolphins, then Dwyane Wade, Lebron James, and Chris Bosh decide to take their talents to South Beach, and now a whole slew of companies are following suit by bringing their events to one of the most beautiful cities in Florida (besides Sarasota that is ;-) )

Next month, September 30th to be exact, well known blogger and affiliate, Murray Newlands, is hosting his Social Media Marketing and Advertising event at the Ronald W Shane Centre in Miami Beach.

His company, Influence People, has put on a ton of very successful industry events lately, both nationally and in the UK, and has now decided to add Miami into their schedule as well.

So what is this event really about and who it is for?

According to their website, “Social Media Marketing & Advertising Miami will bring together social media companies, marketers and brands to discuss the latest tools and techniques for running effective social media marketing and advertising campaigns.

This one day conference offers expert-led guidance on how to engage with customers via advertising and promoted content in social media, including tips on how to maximize the impact of your campaigns, insights into new tools and services, how to monitor and measure the results, and trends to watch out for. This is the ultimate event for anyone interested in social media marketing.”

After looking at some of the sessions and the different speakers attending, this definitely looks like it will be a very valuable event for any business looking to expand their Social Media knowledge and expertise beyond the typical “You need to be on Twitter/Facebook” schpeel.

If you want to find out more about the sessions or the event in general, you can visit their website here.

Now on to the fun part….

Murray has been gracious enough to offer us 4 tickets ($270 value each) to give away to our readers. So for those of you already in the South Florida area, or planning on being there at the end of September, here is your chance to score free tickets to this event!

There are two ways to win them.

1) Leave a comment below letting us know why you want to attend this event and why you deserve a free ticket.

2) Tweet this “I just entered to win a free ticket to the Social Media & Advertising event in Miami from @Clickbooth. Go here to enter http://bit.ly/9HSm0c

Then on 8/3/10 we will randomly select 3 people from the comments section as well as one lucky tweeter to take home a ticket for this event.

Once again, for more information on the event go to http://socialmediamarketing.co.uk or hit up Murray on Twitter at @MurrayNewlands (I know he’ll be more than happy to talk to you about it :-) )

Good luck!

Are You The “Type” To Save a Life?

Last week, our Clickbooth team members put on their brave faces, as we held our semi-annual blood drive with the Suncoast Communities Blood Bank. Throughout the 3 hour window, our staff showed their support by climbing aboard the Bloodmobile, rolling up their sleeves and donating their Type A’s, B’s, and O’s. Although donating blood was probably not what they were most looking forward to that day, the knowledge that their donations goes to helping people in need made the process completely worthwhile (of course, the cookies and juice helped a little too).

Before we headed over there, I was able to catch up with Ziare Brown, Vice President of Compliance & Enforcement, for a little Q&A (and to offer some moral support) as he headed to donate. With a little motivation from Ziare, I also summoned up some courage and ended up sporting a super fashionable purple arm bandage.

Check out the video to below to see how our blood drive went and to learn a little more about the importance of donating blood.

If you’re interested in donating blood, you can visit www.Givelife.org or call 1-800-GIVE-LIFE to find a blood donation center close to you. For those of you who are still not sure if you want to donate, here are 10 facts that might encourage you to find a blood mobile or donation center in your area:

  1. One donation can help save the lives of up to 3 people
  2. Every two seconds someone in the U.S. needs blood
  3. More than 38,000 blood donations are needed every day
  4. One out of every 10 people admitted in a hospital needs blood
  5. A single car accident victim can require as many as 100 units of blood
  6. Less than 38% of the U.S. population is eligible to donate blood
  7. The demand for blood transfusions is growing faster than donations
  8. Blood cannot be manufactured — it can only come from generous donors
  9. Shortages of all blood types usually occur during the summer and winter holidays
  10. If you began donating blood at age 17 and donated every 56 days until you reached 76, you would have donated 48 gallons of blood, potentially helping save over 1,000 lives!

Connect With Us At Affiliate Summit East 2010!

The weekend is almost here and we’re just days away from flying out to NYC for Affiliate Summit East!

There’s a lot going on this year from sessions, to parties, to a variety of different meetups and get togethers, and much like you, we are in the process of finalizing all of our schedules as we speak.

That being said, we wanted to throw a quick post up letting you know some of the different places we will be during ASE, so you can connect with us throughout the show.

The Clickbooth booth

The first and most obvious place you can find us throughout the event will be at our booth (#3004). The exhibit hall is open from 10am-5pm on Monday and 10am-4pm on Tuesday and we’ll be kickin it over there both days and would love to meet up! Clicky will also be around sporadically taking pictures with his fans, signing some autographs, and of course busting out a few dance moves here and there. We will also have a VERY limited amount of our new shirts to give away at the booth, but they are only for our blog readers and you need the secret password to get one (which you can find here).

The “How Bloggers Can Successfully Connect with Audiences” Panel

This panel is on Tuesday from 2-3pm and includes our very own Social Media Manager, Eric Schechter along with Murray Newlands, Andrew Bennet, and Tim Jones. During this panel, the guys will be giving advice and tips to bloggers on how to increase their success in connecting with audiences, and at the same time, making them and their blogs more appealing to advertisers.

Eric will be sticking around for a bit after the panel, so feel free to stop by and say hi, ask him any follow up questions you may have from the panel, or talk to him about the Miami Heat’s recent acquisition of Lebron James and Chris Bosh (he’ll love that!).

“View From The Top” Party

This year we partnered with our good friends at Pulse 360 to throw an exclusive invite-only affair for the Industry’s Elite. The party will be taking place on Monday from 9pm-12am at the Hudson Terrace and will include an open bar, great music, and the opportunity to mingle with the best in the industry. If you haven’t RSVP’d yet, you can do so here. We recommend doing it rather quickly though as the guest list is nearly full. Feel free to hit up your Affiliate Strategist as well to secure your spot.

BlogUp/Dot Com Pizza Meetup

On Tuesday, from 6-8pm, Clickbooth and John Chow will be hosting a Meetup for all Affiliate Summit Attendees at Ray’s Pizza on Broadway. This is a great opportunity to come hang out with fellow affiliates, bloggers, and us of course, all while stuffing your face with New York’s best pizza! We will be providing free pizza and soda for the first 50 people to show up, so make sure you show get there early (you can also reserve your spot here).

There you have it! Now that you know where we will be throughout the event, make sure you say hi if you see us around (don’t be shy!). For those of you traveling, we hope you all have a safe flight/commute and we look forward to seeing all of you next week!

Will You Be Partying With the Industry’s Elite in NYC?

RSVP-Party-Image

This week is flying by and before you know it, so will we to the city of bright lights, the worlds best pizza (sorry Chicago!), and one of the only places in the world where a fine of $25 can be levied for flirting (that’s not a joke btw.)

That’s right, this weekend we will be heading to New York City for another highly anticipated Affiliate Summit and what better way to celebrate it then by throwing a party in true CB fashion. The hottest venue in NYC, with an open bar, great music, and THE place to party with the Industry’s Elite.

Only difference is, this time we’ve decided to switch up from our usual massive 3000+ parties to something A LOT more exclusive. And we’ve partnered with our good friends at Pulse 360 to make this a one of a kind event you won’t want to miss.

That being said, we’ve already been hit up by the majority of people in our industry wondering how they can gain access to this private, invite-only affair. In case you were wondering as well, here’s the deal….

First things first. Before we can even consider adding your name to the VIP guest list, you will first need to RSVP here. Once you do that, you will receive an email within the next couple of days letting you know whether or not you were confirmed on the guest list.

If you want, you can also follow up with your Affiliate Strategist to see how you can secure your spot. However, I urge you to do it as soon as possible as spots are already filling up extremely quickly.

We really look forward to catching up with everyone in New York and make sure you stop by booth #3004 to say hi and take a picture with Clicky. And if you’re lucky enough, you might even get one of our new t-shirts!

Have a great rest of the week and see you in a few days!
