MY IN-STORE CD GIVEAWAY PROMO WAS AWESOME!!!

I wanted to go to the mall... to Best Buy or Target... because they were like the really big stores... but they both told me that I needed to get corporate approval like way ahead of time... and I didn't have time to do that... SOOOOO... I was talking to my friend... and he was like... Wal Mart will do it! But I forgot my camera at the house... so I had to drive all the way back at my house first... to take pictures of the CD GIVEAWAY!

SO I called Wal Mart, which was farther from my house... out in the suburbs. The shift manager said it was okay... so I picked my CD's up at Target... well... the guy at the electronics desk was on break... so the dork who was there was like... trying to call him... and he told the guy at the counter that I couldn't buy the CD's to give away at another store! WHAT A MORON!!!

SOOOOO I am back on my cellie, calling the store manager who was all excited that she saw David on the VIEW in the morning... and she said that if I was paying for the CD's I could give 'em to whoever I wanted! The guy who was on break just didn't want to get off his lazy butt to open another box of CD's! What a MORON!!!

So I got to the Wal Mart... who incidentally had the CD's on sale as well! And the Wal Mart CD's have bonus track on them... They gave me a table to set up.. my index cards, pens, and a drawing box, plus a laminated really cool pic I got off of the internet of David! Then, I was allowed to go on the intercom in the store, and announce the CD and the promo GIVE AWAY every 15 minutes and gave away 2 CD's every half hour for 2 hours!!! (the other 2 were for me and my bf)! It was so fun!!!

Of course... all the Wal Mart Employees were there too, trying to win a free CD... but the customers won 50 % of the CD's and the employees won the other 50%, so it was cool! AND we got the word out... there was like over 100 entries for each half hour! It was really cool!!! Then I snuck up and posted posters of David Archuleta's Release by the CD's on the shelves!!! I think the employees are going to leave them there! And I left a stack of 500 fliers about the CD release and the Street Team on the counter by the electronics department! It was a really amazing night!
