The Magic of Product Placement as a Promotion Medium

THE MAGIC OF PRODUCT PLACEMENT AS A PROMOTION MEDIUM.
by Douglas Castle, Featured columnist for THE NATIONAL NETWORKER.

Quick Preamble:

The idea of product placement promotion (as discussed briefly with Ed Harris in his role as Cristov, the producer of The Truman Show ), is a wonderful, almost subliminal way of introducing new brands with the perceived impression of acceptance. It is subtle, but powerful. I have recently become an officer in a company that is the Exclusive US Distributor for an amazing line of accessories for digital photographers. The products are made in Malysia, and imported here. You can learn more about them by going to http://speedlightprokitusa.blogspot.com/, or by visiting http://www.getglobaledge.com/ . Both the Malaysian company, Lightshop Design and its US counterpart, Global EdgeTechnologies Group LLC are both Member companies of TNNW.

Following is letter which I received from Mr. Sam Poon, who works with the Malysian company, and my letter of response to him. Please read both letter carefully. His letter to me was transmitted via Facebook.

Subject: A different kind of brand promotion

Hi Douglas,
Fresh from his Mexico workshop last weekends, Don Giannatti has a different kind of coverage of our speedlight pro kit in his article "Increasing Strobe Power with Photoshop". It was an indirect way of promoting our brand and I think it is brilliant! Check out the article here: http://www.facebook.com/l/eb55d;prophotoresource.com/index.php/Increasing-Strobe-Power-with-Photoshop.html?Itemid=0

Dear Sam:

Thank you very much for sending the Giannatti promotion hyperlink to me. Don is a well-regarded photographer. It is a perfect example of “product placement promotion.” It subtly showcases the product in an understated, “matter-of-fact” way which appeals to a more sophisticated prospective clientele. It is highly effective indeed.

When you forward me information in this way, it greatly assists us at http://getglobaledge.com/  in our marketing in the United States – this flow of information, if done very promptly and currently, can allow us to incorporate positive Speedlight ProKit reviews in our news releases to the media. Branding and sales will be very, very favorably affected. This could be of great benefit to you, as it would to us, and to the two principals of Lightshop Design.

Your sharing of breaking news with me is a major first step in building mutual respect, credibility and friendship. Cooperation is the key to building a successful organization, and your stock is rising in its value with me. Please also be at liberty to reference our blog, at http://speedlightprokitusa.blogspot.com/  as an additional tool in your many presentations.

Additionally, I would like to be your friend on Facebook, and would be delighted if you would add me to your network. Having said this, since I don't use Facebook that frequently, please always feel at liberty to send emails directly to me at douglas.castle@GetGlobalEdge.com  . In this way, I can be more rapidly responsive. If you would be so kind, I would like to have your preferred direct email address for you in addition to the .speedlightprokit.com domain email.

Once again, Sam, thank you for your insight into this wonderful, dignified approach to marketing.

Faithfully,

Douglas Castle

p.s. It is an endless source of humiliation for me that I cannot eat with chopsticks! My daughters can....my wife can...my 87 year-old mother can -- I must be a slow learner. I am confined to eating with a knife and fork. They are my weapons of choice in the great food war.

The above is a photo of the irrepressible Sam Poon, engaging in gustatory gratification.

News Release: SPEEDLIGHT PRO KIT MANUFACTURER AWARDS US FIRM EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS

News Release: SPEEDLIGHT PRO KIT MANUFACTURER AWARDS US FIRM EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS.

THIS ARTICLE ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED BY THE NATIONAL NETWORKER Newsletter, and is reproduced with permission.

We, at THE NATIONAL NETWORKER COMPANIES, are delighted to announce that we have acquired a new Member, Global Edge Technologies Group LLC (http://www.GetGlobalEdge.com), an international import company which has just received the distinction of being appointed the Exclusive US Distriutor and Representative for Lightshop Design of Malaysia. Lightshop Design has created, patented and manufactures a revolutionary speedlight kit for both professional photographers and hobbyists (http://SpeedlightProKitUSA.blogspot.com) that is superior, in every aspect, to existing (and much more expensive) photographic lighting technology. Joe Chan and Dennis Kok, the Principals of Lightshop Design are selling their product in the overseas market. The product is receiving rave reviews by every single photographer who has had an opportunity to use it. It creates a full spectrum of lighting effects in any environment, under virtually under any conditions. Speedlight ProKit is completely modular, portable, foldable (it flattens out for storage like Japanese origami) and takes only minutes to set up and take apart. It costs less than 20% of other units which are not even remotely close in their capabilities and elegance of design.  Global Edge Technologies Group is now qualifying photographic equipment dealers to become Authorized Speedlight ProKit Dealers.

Our Press Release, Public relations and Publicity Affiliate (http://tnnw1.blogspot.com/) provided the two companies with their first major US press release. As of this writing, the release is less than 7 days old, and has already created in excess of  15,000 headline impressions already! You can download yesterday's publication stats by clicking on http://twitlik.com/SPEEDLIGHTPROKIT1 

Welcome aboard, Global Edge Technologies...we hope that will give our Membership (a number of whom are in the photography supply and accessories business) first consideration for Authorized Dealerships! -- ADAM J. KOVITZ

Speedlight Pro Kit Manufacturer Awards US Firm Exclusive Rights


Lightshop Design, Malaysian - Based Manufacturer of Specialized Photography Products, has Appointed Global Edge Technologies Group LLC its Exclusive Distributor in the USA.


Westchester, New York (PRWEB) August 27, 2009 -- Lightshop Design, the entrepreneurial firm which created Speedlight Pro Kit™, announced yesterday that it had selected Global Edge Technologies Group to be its exclusive distributor and representative in the US. Speedlight Pro Kit™ is the innovative ultra-portable lighting accessory which has been gathering a fast-growing following among photography professionals throughout the world (http://SpeedlightProKitUSA.blogspot.com).

Joe Chan, one of Lightshop Design's principals and a well-respected professional photographer himself said, "I originally developed the Kit as a lighting solution for my own photo shoots out of sheer necessity. At that time, none of the major manufacturers had a lighting effects solution which was portable and versatile enough to meet my needs as a professional photographer on the go. A photographer needs a variety of special lighting filters, baffles and effects to address every possible ambient lighting situation that he may encounter. The Kit is a modular, all-in-one, lightweight utility that sets up and packs up in minutes; it can travel anywhere and can provide virtually any special lighting effect required. It is also very affordable. Nothing compares with it.


"Dennis (co-principal, Dennis Kok) immediately saw the enormous international market potential for our product line, and started marketing it through word of mouth and several individual equipment dealers. Once the product reviews started to come in, we simply couldn't meet the demand. We partnered with Get Global Edge (Global Edge Technologies Group LLC at http://www.GetGlobalEdge.com)  to help us establish and coordinate a network of authorized dealers to deliver our growing list of products to the enormous US marketplace."


Get Global Edge, a Member of The National Networker Companies, is busily qualifying US-based dealers. Adam J. Kovitz, Founder of the National Networker Companies and an advisor to Get Global Edge, was clearly delighted: "This product is like the all-in-one Swiss Army Knife. It seems so simple, but it does so much; it is elegant and efficient. And the high-volume trade arrangement between the two companies will keep the price low while the product quality and service will be top-notch." The National Networker Companies are a major advocate of "citizen ambassadorship" through international joint venturing.

Dealer and other inquiries regarding Get Global Edge or Lightshop Design should be addressed directly to 888-317-6498.
