Well we had our 15 minutes of fame.
Our first shot was a silent shot with me sitting on a Lazer Z, while Matt and sales associate were inspecting the front end of the unit.
For our speaking part, when we were being hooked up to the microphone, I specifically stated I had no desire to say anything. Well after the producer finished speaking with both of us, it was decided that I would be the speaker, and at the end Matt would pipe in and say one line.
One line.
Here's his one line: And the prices were unbeatable too.
Yep, that's all he had to say. And wouldn't you know it, he kept messing up his line.. LOL. (just kidding with you Matt, I know you will be reading this). But he will agree that he kept blanking out when it came time for him to say his line.
Everything we said for the commercial was true. They treated us nice, and their prices were good, so I don't feel like we misled anyone.
Anyway, after we finally got it right, they played it back for us, and I guess we looked ok. We wore hunter green polo shirts with our company name embroidered on them. They also said that they will put our company name at the bottom of the screen when we are talking.
It will be airing in March for 3 weeks, and we will be getting a copy of the tape.
It was kinda fun to do. At least we can say we took part in a commercial for tv. And we get some exposure, so I guess it can't hurt.
