“NEC is strengthening its commitment to our customers by offering a variety of exciting promotions around key vertical segments,” said David Woolf, senior director of marketing, NEC Solutions America. “We are already achieving great success with these new innovative campaigns and we will continue to develop creative marketing initiatives in the future.”
At InfoComm 2005, the premier exhibition and conference for the AV communications industry, excitement will center around NEC’s booth #322 as lucky attendees spin a giant wheel that guarantees a prize for every spin. Prizes include NEC projectors, NEC plasma displays, Apple® iPod® minis, beach towels, messenger bags and more. The grand prize on the wheel is a “key” to a 2005 Ford Mustang convertible. Everyone who receives a “key” will return to the NEC booth on Friday, June 10 at 11 a.m. for the live grand prize drawing of the Mustang. The Mustang will be on display June 8-10 outside of the Las Vegas Convention Center.
In addition to the Ford Mustang giveaway, NEC is also giving one school 25 NEC VT47 projectors as a part of the “Teaching in Motion” contest. Teachers and students from kindergarten through 12th grade are encouraged to develop a creative two-minute video showing how display technology would positively affect learning in their classroom. Video submissions can be made until September 1, 2005. Anyone can visit www.necvisualsystems.com from September 26-30 to view the top submissions and vote for their favorite video. Also, over 3,000 people have already requested from the website the free NEC Tech 101 notebook, which outlines how display technology can improve learning, how to apply for education grants, and much more.
NEC is also presenting an opportunity to win a 61-inch plasma display by registering on www.necvisualsystems.com, or by visiting www.necitguy.com and playing the “NEC IT Guy” games. The IT Guy games allow competitors to play a series of fun and challenging games online that test keyboard dexterity, speed and agility. The highest score wins, and each winner of the four games (four winners in all) receives an NEC 61XR3 residential plasma display. Paul Barton from Saline, Michigan won the first 61XR3 plasma by having the highest score in Hardware Hurl! The “IT Guy” game site also includes tips and tricks for managing projectors and plasma displays, answers to IT managers’ most frequently asked questions, and a glossary of commonly used technical terms in the display market.
