Faceplanting - faceplant yourself and your friends!

Dear Potential Sponsor:

If you’ve played with Faceplanting at all, you’ve probably already realized that the real beauty of it is that it’s both personal and hilarious; anyone can create their own Faceplanting page and invite their friends to get creative with their face. In fact, the more friends that you invite, the better your Faceplanting page becomes.

This makes Faceplanting extremely viral and gives it a rare broad appeal across nearly all age groups and cultures; uploading your picture and having your friends mess with it is kind of its own universal language. And since any human with an internet connection and a sense of humor will love Faceplanting, our goal is to reach the over one billion or so people that are online worldwide today. We’d like nothing better than to give every one of them a free Faceplanting page and a good laugh.

To help us achieve this goal, we’re looking for a single dedicated global sponsor, a patron, if you will, for all the personalized art that will be generated on this site by friends Faceplanting friends the world over. We’re offering a great advertising package: two premium locations for banner ads (top and middle of each Faceplanting page), a “presented by” message near our logo, and a plug in every email sent.

Maybe we have a bias because we hail from from a tech background ourselves, but we’re betting the right sponsor will be a well known tech company that really gets how powerful, positive, and cost efficient a virus Faceplanting will be for their brand.

Intel springs to mind as a great global sponsor; they could use Faceplanting to promote their Intel-for-gaming platform and to make their chips seem more fun and approachable. HP would also be an excellent candidate because Faceplanting’s personal approach perfectly reinforces their new “the computer is personal again” branding. And of course, the Wii would be a great sponsor because Faceplanting uniquely underscores the idea that the Wii is all about novel and accessible gaming. These are just a few of the many possibilities; other good fits include Xbox, Sony, Windows Gaming, AMD, Samsung, Nokia, Motorola, Virgin Gaming, Kodak, EVE Online, and more.

In conclusion, we’re just looking for an innovative global sponsor who wants to interact with a phenomenal number of people in a truly personal and fun way. If you’re that kind of sponsor then Faceplanting is just the thing you need and we’d love to hear from you. Please .

Thanks for reading and happy Faceplanting! :)

P.S. Here’s a quick list of eight reasons why you should sponsor Faceplanting:

Faceplanting will appeal to and reach more people than American Idol does. That’s because everyone, from the hardest hard core geek, to the girliest female fashionista, likes to laugh, especially at themselves and their friends. Imagine if you could advertise during American Idol, but for a tiny fraction of what it normally costs—that’s essentially what Faceplanting is offering. And with us you can accurately measure your success and you pay only after you get your message out, so you’ll always know you’re getting your money’s worth.
Faceplanting is more memorable than any tv commercial ever will be. This is because it’s interactive. As soon as you start interacting, more parts of your brain are engaged and more powerful impressions are formed. Your brand can be a principal part of these lasting memories.
Faceplanting is hilarious and personal and those traits are really hard to come by. How many commercials have you seen that try so hard to be funny or memorable, but fall far short? With Faceplanting, friends create the humor, so you will be in the midst of all the positive vibes created by and flowing between friends. There’s no better place to put your message.
While Faceplanting does appeal to nearly every age group that’s online, it appeals most strongly to the younger generations—you know, those really jaded and hard-to-reach male and female demographics that shrug off traditional advertising like a duck does water.
Faceplanting is already remarkable because it's so uniquely fun and viral, but the right sponsor will make this an even bigger story. So not only will you get a great value from us on the CPM for sponsoring Faceplanting, but as Faceplanting grows bigger, the story will get bigger and you’ll get more and more attention from the blogosphere and main stream press, producing a halo effect of free and positive buzz for your company. This halo effect can’t be found in your normal run-of-the-mill advertising opportunities.
Faceplanting will spread your message and engender love for your brand all over the globe. It will help your brand transcend cultural barriers and reach an enormous number of people in a personal and powerful way. Customizing Faceplanting for each new language is easy: we translate the interface, change the home page celebrity examples to feature native speakers of the language, and then you can change your ads to fit the new audience. From there, the audience takes the reigns and spreads the fun, and your brand, virally.
You will enjoy focused and exclusive advertising. You won’t be competing with other sponsors. A user’s attention won’t be diverted by crappy design or 50 different blinking, shiny objects. Faceplanting’s clean design allows the user to focus on having fun and allows you to reach them effectively in that noise-free environment.
Lastly, Faceplanting is your unique chance to make the world smile. You already know that the right viral content can take the Internet by storm: remember that viral video, "The Star Wars Kid"? It's estimated that this video has been viewed over 900 million times--that means it's reached at least 200 million people worldwide! Of course, reaching this many people is extremely rare; most viral content just doesn't have that level of mass appeal. That's why Faceplanting is such a unique opportunity for the right sponsor. Because it's so personal and fun, Faceplanting could be one of the few viral websites that will ever reach more than 200 million people. So why not sponsor Faceplanting and be recognized globally for being both innovative and fun? Let us help your company reach people through concentrated, user-generated happiness. :)
