Hey Indietalk! (Indietalkers?)
I'm launching a new service called Product Place Me, for free product placement. Link here: http://productplaceme.com
Here's how it works: You send me spots in your script that could be product placements. I collect those in a list and then send them out to a bunch of advertisers.
Those advertisers see your place (ie your hero loves potato chips, you need a brand of potato chip) and decide if it matches up with their product (think of how many chip makers there are out there). If it's a good match, they get in touch with you and hopefully offer up some freebies for your shoot, or even a paid deal.
It's free to use, and you don't even have to sign up for an account. Just go here: http://productplaceme.com/submit
Part of the reason I'm doing this is because I feel like product placement sucks right now. Scripts are getting written around products, which is a terrible way to do it. We can get better fit product placements without sacrificing scripts.
But wait, there's more!
So this is a new venture, and I desperately need two things: Places (spots in your script) and feedback.
If you can give me both, I'll Paypal you ten bucks. I only have 100 bucks budgeted for this (This is a bootstrapped startup), so it's only good for the first ten people who submit. Please *post* here saying you've submitted, so folks after the first ten know the budget is gone.
Some requirements:
-It's gotta be a real project! Link me to a project page, or to your respective web presence. Or even to a film you've done before.
-One payout per person. You can submit multiple Places, though, even for a single project.
-PM me with feedback on the process after you submit, and also your Paypal info. Once I verify you, I'll send the payment. I might ask you to redo the submission if something's wrong with it. I might also ask for follow-up feedback.
-No pornographic films, sorry!
-Since I'm basically in beta, I might use your Place in more than one e-mail (it's weekly). This shakes out as you potentially getting more offers.
If ten people have already posted, please help me out anyway! I'm trying to make product placement better, while benefiting filmmakers like you. It'll always be free for filmmakers (and advertisers too!).
