Pitch to the Pros Response Expo 2009 Winner Is “Treasure Chest Pets” by Lisa Lloyd

May 21st, 2009

And it’s all over. It’s all over. So many ingenious, spirited inventors pitched their products that we almost had trouble keeping it all straight – through we did.

Through the melee, the madness, the circus, and the celebration it was decided – after careful consideration – that the winner of livemercial’s Response Expo 2009 “Pitch It to the Pros” is none other than ”Treasure Chest Pets”. The inventor of “Treasure Chest Pets,” Lisa Lloyd, will not only receive the glorious “Pitch It to the Pros” trophy as well as a DVD copy of her pitch but will also receive a one-on-one strategy session with top livemercial executives. And from there, the sky is the limit. Here was “Pitch it to the Pros” winning pitch:

Overall, a big, “thank you” goes out to the people who made Response Expo 2009 such a wonderful experience. An equally-as-heartfelt “Thank You’s” goes out to Billy Mays, Anthony Sullivan, the Bayfront Hilton, Wendy Robbins, and especially to the overwhelming support and participation given by each and every inventor who helped make “Pitch it to the Pros” such a rousing success. You indeed are the innovation and inspiration that continues to drive the industry each and every year. May all your ideas be prosperous!

Ad:Tech San Fran Was Fab. Looking Forward to Response.

May 6th, 2009

Our time at Ad:Tech San Francisco 2009 unreal. Made new friends, got in touch with old friends. We also got to report on the goings on at Ad:Tech San Francisco.

Overall, the experience was such a rush that we can’t help but look forward to Ad:Tech ’10.

Next up for Livemercial: Response Expo 2009

Response Expo is a gathering of the biggest names in Direct Response marketing. Exhibits, networking events, sessions and so much more await us. We’ll get to have fun, but we’ll also get to learn the newest technologies and strategies to be used by Direct Response Marketers for the 09′-10′ season.

Here’s a sample of what to expect at Response Expo ’09. Below is a highlight video from Resonse Expo ’08:

This year, Response Expo ’09 will be held at brand new Hilton San Diego Bayfront. If you are planning to attend Response Expo ’09 this year, be sure to come by and see us. We’ll be hard to miss: we’re right by the front door in the big booth.

I got a peak at what we are planning for this year’s show. All I can say is that I wish I was there! When the details are finalized, we’ll be sure to pass them along.
