Beginning on October 15, Virgin Money is inviting small business owners to show Virgin Money how they have asked for money from friends or family in “Show us your Ask!”. This fun and rather quirky content involves submitting a video that shows the most creative possible ways to ask for money.
How did you ask for money when you needed a loan from a friend or a relative?
Virgin Money agrees that asking for money from someone that you know takes guts. However, when it comes to growing a current business or launching a brand new one, the best entrepreneurs are willing to do whatever it takes to go out there and get a “Yes” response when asking for a loan. This is what has inspired Virgin Money’s “Show Us Your Ask” contest.
For the sake of the contest, Richard Branson will be in charge of choosing the most creative from all of the videos that are submitted. The winner who is chosen for having the best video is going to win $1,000 cash, which is a lot of money for a start up company or a small business looking to grow. In addition to this great grand prize, anyone who enters the contest by submitting their video is going to qualify for a $50 discount off of the Business Builder product offered by Virgin Money.
Virgin Money wants to see how you have had to ask for money in the past from either your friends or your family members. All you have to do to provide proof is to create a video of your “Ask”; either a real video of the event or a reenactment of the event, uploading it to your own personal YouTube page for public viewing. If you have not already creatively asked anyone for a loan up until this point and your business is hurting for some extra funding (What business isn’t?), then now is an excellent time to break out the video camera and come up with a creative pitch to garner some necessary lending from your friends and family members. What do you have to lose?
You can submit your video at http://www.showusyourask.com by placing a link to your video YouTube page in the form. More information about the Virgin Money “Show Us Your Ask” contest will also be made available on this page. Just like that, it will be entered into the contest where it will be judged to see if it is the most creative of all those entered. The most creative video will win the asker a cool $1,000.
Every single submission is going to earn its asker a FREE copy of the newest book from Richard Branson, “Business Stripped Bare” as well as a $50 discount on Virgin Money’s Business Builder utility which is absolutely essential both for start up small businesses and growing small companies as well.
