Best Buy Scan Mob: Monday (Nov.23 @ 5:30PM)

Got an iPhone or Android phone and live in Dallas?  We need your help.  We are planning to host what we are calling a Scan Mob (sort of like a Flash Mob) on Monday.  Here are the details:

At lunch today we were trying to think of what might make a cool promotional video for ShopSavvy.  Someone thought it might be fun to have a bunch of ShopSavvy users (or potential ShopSavvy users) show up at an unsuspecting Best Buy store at a particular time and have every start scanning items.  We would then run around and film everyone scanning items.  Here is the idea:

• Everyone shows up at 5:30PM at Best Buy
• At 5:40 everyone picks up an item and scans it (with audible beep)
• Filmers (using iPhone video in landscape mode) will run around an ask ‘what are you doing’ to each scanner
• You should answer saying something like ‘Saving with ShopSavvy’ or something snarky
• Everyone who gets on film scanning will get a Best Buy gift card from me (i.e. make sure we film you)

My objective would be to get 20 people or so (maybe more if we can promote this).  I don’t want to do this too far in advance (i.e. someone might get mad or try to stop us).  So if you can make it let us know by RSVP’ing on the Upcoming Page we will keep you in the loop on any changes.

If you DON’T live in Dallas you can STILL participate.  Just install ShopSavvy, show up at a Best Buy and get someone to film you.  Just a short 10 second video.  Have someone ask you, “What are you doing?”  You should answer, “Saving money with ShopSavvy!”.  Email your video to sales@biggu.com.  FYI – you don’t have to wait until Monday – you can do it today.
