April 15, 2008 (PRLEAP.COM) Lifestyle News
ICE.com is changing the landscape of marketing, yet again, by utilizing Web 2.0 technologies to enhance their presence in social networking. This is ICE.com’s third foray into social networking following the success of YouTube videos with Mr. Cupid and the Sparkle Like the Stars blog. ICE has teamed up with two highly inventive brands – Qoof and iBeg, the Facebook application, to promote a giveaway for a stunning diamond engagement ring. “In seeing our previous success within Web 2.0 technology, it is a natural fit for us to utilize Facebook in our future marketing initiatives.” Says, Pinny Gniwisch, VP Marketing at ICE.com.

Qoof is an integral part of a recipe that bridges together online shopping and internet video. By utilizing Qoof’s video commerce platform, individuals have the opportunity to win ICE.com’s diamond ring and partake in a contest that is both exciting and seamless. Those who upload video content onto the space will need to convince viewers to vote for them based on their creativity. To join and vote you can do a search for iBeg on Facebook or by going to: http://apps.facebook.com/ibegtowin/
The contest will continue until May 5th, and the individual whose video receives the most votes will be named the winner.

“Leveraging the power of iBeg, powered by Qoof, with the high quality products of ICE.com will provide users with the opportunity to create extremely compelling content for the entire Facebook community to enjoy. I greatly look forward to watching and voting for the most persuasive video iBegs for the diamond engagement ring.” Said, Jonathan Stefansky, EVP Sales and Marketing at Qoof.
