New Jersey native and entrepreneur Ray Maniaci sent we this email about his new website TBWE.com where visitors can vote on the favorite companies, brands, drinks, etc. and be eligible for prizes. My characterization is that it is somewhat similar to an online focus group with prizes. Registration was a snap. Here is his letter promoting his site:Dear Editor,
My name is Ray Maniaci and I have recently launched a new website called TBWE.com (TheBestWebsiteEver.com, TheBiggestWebsiteEver.com, and TheBestWorldEver.com) which is a place where visitors can vote for their favorite companies and be rewarded with prizes while over 10% of TBWE’s profits go to charity. If you do a search for Hoboken, you'll notice it appears in the cheese steak category, NJ bars, and Hoboken bars.
http://www.thebestbarever.com/ – was made for NJ and has many of Hoboken’s bars while there is also a separate category for bars that are only in Hoboken:
Every 1,000th voter across the TBWE network wins a prize and my system tells me who people voted for when they become the 1,000th voter. Thus I'll be able to tell each and every bar who made the winning vote for them when it occurs and get any information from my users that they require (name, address, phone number) if they would personally like to reward their fans for voting for them. While alcohol-related prizes are not possible, such prizes as free cover charge, food discounts, clothing and other bar-related merchandise are.
So as a NJ native, the former owner of the USPTO “I LOVE NJ” trademark who was opposed by The NY State Department of Economics (www.myspace.com/letsgojersey and www.cafepress.com/ilovenjstore), and a two-time Hoboken resident (the picture of the green house on 3rd and Washington with the “I LOVE NJ” banner is where I used to live), I ask you to please help me spread the word to Hoboken and Jersey fans alike (http://www.thebeststateever.com/) so TBWE can start rewarding them for voting for their favorites.
Feel free to let me know if you have any questions or comments. I look forward to hearing from you.
Best Regards Ever,
Ray Maniaci
