The tshirt slogan has been chosen. Our MinuteFix tshirts will say

What can YOU do in a minute?

The winning slogan was submitted by Emilia Hallquist, a Brooklyn resident and Facebook friend of MinuteFix. Originally from Virginia Beach, VA, Emilia is a longtime resident of New York and works as a Project Manager for a well established audio/video company. She is a graduate of The Catholic University of America and maintains her sanity with equal parts yoga and knitting.

For submitting the winning tag Emilia will receive two free t-shirts and a spot in the MinuteFix Hall of Fame (when one is established, of course.) Thank you so much Emilia for the awesome entry!

And so it goes that last night at 11:59pm the Tshirt Contest officially ended. Within the next few days Diego and I as well as our customer service guru Phil, will be getting together to choose the winner. While ALL the entries were outstanding a showed a true understanding and creativity towards the MinuteFix product, we must choose one that goes above and beyond the marketing call. I want to personally thank each entrant as we received some great options from Technicians, customers, Facebook friends and even some of our staff. As soon as a winner is chosen we will be posting the name and slogan and proceeding with the printing of t-shirts. In the meantime, if you are interested in purchasing a t-shirt at wholesale (this printing is not to make money but rather to spread the MF message) please comment below and let us know so we will have a good idea of how many to print. Thank you so much for you participation!

Ok, class. Let’s have a Pop Quiz. I will show a brand and you will respond with their tagline. Ready? Okay.

1. Pepsi

That’s right. The Choice of a New Generation. Great job. Okay. Let’s try another.

2. YouTube

No. Not quite. That’s right! Rock on. Broadcast Yourself! Seriously. Excellent job class.

So, what am I talking about? Well, all good companies have a tagline. It is that one line that represents the brand and becomes a common household saying. For MinuteFix we have Tech Support For Everyone. But some companies go a little further and come up with some marketing campaigns and slogans as well and we feel like maybe it is time for us to do the same. So, in an effort to really have some fun and start marketing ourselves on a host of local levels, I am pleased to announce a T Shirt Contest. That’s right. You have seven (7) days starting at midnight tonight to come up with an awesome slogan to be featured on the MinuteFix t shirt. Thanks to the the suggestion of some Techs we have decided to print a very limited number of tees to give away to some members of the community as including the winner and runner-up of the contest itself. The rules are simple.

Come up with a witty slogan that really plays on who we are, what we do, how we do it, etc. Be creative about it. Some examples might be: Uniforms Are For Burger Flippers -or - Tech Support Without the Stupid Tie -or - Tech Support Without Ripping You Off. You get the idea. Put your top idea in the comment section of this blog post to be judged by Diego, Phil and myself. (You can leave out the Simon Cowell jokes, please….hahahahaha).

We will announce the winner and runner-up at midnight at 11:59pm on May 1. Good luck and have some fun!

UPDATE

Due to the growing creative response of our community and the general public, we have decided to extend the contest until Sunday, May 4 at 11:59pm. You have time to post more ideas. I can’t wait to hear ‘em!

Since mid-December we have been anticipating the launch of MinuteFix to the general (and paying, of course) public. In the meantime we have been holding a bit of a contest for the Technician who receives the best overall feedback from supported customers. It was a tough race as many of us found ourselves vying for any feedback at all and hoping it would be positive. Well, the time has come to announce the winner!

I would like to congratulate Jenn from Florida for her sweeping victory. She served customers over the last few months with excellent customer support and technical savvy raising the barre for all others. She will receiving a gift certificate for a custom Timbuk2 bag of her choosing. We are very excited to have Jenn on board and I continually find myself thanking her for her hard work and dedication to MinuteFix.

I do not want to forget, however, the runners-up, ANmar and Mark Ambrose; both of who show professional courtesy and outstanding computer knowledge. Way to go guys!
