Looks like Samsung is throwing out all the punches to promote the Galaxy Tab as it hits major U.S. carriers, and they have announced a new contest via YouTube that will hand out 100 of the 7-inch tablets at the end of the month.
This comes hot on the heels of a similar contest launched by Samsung Mobile USA last week but utilizing Twitter as the marketing platform. The Twitter contest is currently in progress and will end on November 8. To win, users must follow @SamsungMobileUS on Twitter. The company will ask a new question each day, which individuals must answer using the #WinGalaxyTab hashtag. 7 of the Galaxy Tabs are up for grabs in the Twitter contest.
This time round, 100 Galaxy Tabs are up for grabs in the Youtube contest. To enter, individuals must submit a video of themselves explaining what freedom means to them via Samsung Mobile USA official Youtube Page. The video must be 2:00 minutes or less and the winners will be chosen on Nov. 29.
Seeing how Youtube videos can go viral, this contest is definitely an innovative and non-traditional marketing campaign launched by Samsung. Social marketing at its best?
