Is it possible to produce a good radio commercial that includes all these lame bullet points in just 30 seconds?
I don’t know. But I know it’s possible to produce a spot that at the very least is better. And I suspect some loyal readers could create something so much better that it might reach the level of “good.”
So here’s the deal: You have until next Monday, March 9, to upload your own production that includes these points:
Target Home Design Event Sale
Designed with nature-inspired motifs, patterns and textures. (You are not required, however, to use that phrasing.)
30% off
Hundreds of design accessories for the home (you are free to reword that phrase), including vases, frames, table linens, pillows and furniture
Prices starting under $10
The Rules
You must upload your produced spot using this link.
It must be an mp3 file.
You must fully identify yourself.
The spot must run between 29.5 and 30.5 seconds.
Although you may have someone else produce and/or voice the commercial, the revised spot must be written by you.
Do not upload a script. You must upload an mp3 recording of the produced spot.
By “mp3 recording,” I mean “mp3 recording.” I do not mean .wav file, mp4, or anything other goshdarn format.
The Prize
If you win, you will receive your choice of any one of my mp3 seminars or e-books, as well as world-wide recognition, invaluable bragging rights, and the satisfaction of knowing that you are better than everyone else.
Judging Criteria
Bring that lousy commercial at least to the level of “pretty good.” If you can’t make it at least pretty good, you have the option of making it very, very, entertaining.
Judging
I will be the sole judge, unless I have other people help me. The decision of the judge(s) is subjective, arbitrary and final. In the event that no one submits a spot the judge(s) deem good enough, nobody wins anything and I’ll donate the mp3 seminar or e-book of my choice to Habitat for Humanity.
Anyone who emails a commercial to me rather than uploading it via this link will be disqualified, publicly disgraced and banned from Major League Baseball. I mean it. Use the upload link. Seriously.
Ladies and gentlemen, start your word processors. And may the best (or most insanely competitive) copywriter win.
