Media Tour on a Budget!
Live in Five cleverly capitalized on 2010’s buzz word, Transumerism, and had the Netflix of books, BookSwim’s VP of Marketing, Eric Ginsberg packed up his ZipCar to appear in a 10-day, 10-show, media tour that took him from New Jersey to Tennessee, Indiana to Illinois and back again.
Eric landed spots in top local morning shows, including top market programming in New York (Market #1), Chicago (Market #3) and Philadelphia (Market #4).
To keep the excitement strong, Live in Five pitched similarly styled “table-top” segments including; Transumerism and the College Student (textbook, calculator, laptop rentals), Transumerism and the Holidays (rent instead of buying that new dress, Christmas trees, jewelry and cookbooks), Transumerism and Your Summer Getaway (rent camping gear, guitars for campfire sing-a-longs, and books to teach you how to tie that slipknot).
Each spurred a flurry of interview requests and new BookSwimmers eagerly took the “dive!”
