WILMINGTON, Del.—November 13, 2007—Kristina Zalenski’s boyfriend now knows the truth about the bulging gym bag Kristina shuttles to and from work. Her winning Secret Shopping Confessions video reveals the bag is actually a secret hiding spot and mode of transportation for almost $5,000 worth of new clothes, shoes, handbags, and more that she’s been slipping by her man, and into her closet.
Kristina Zalenski of Philadelphia, P.A., is the second of four weekly $1,000 winners in eBillme’s Secret Shopping Confessions video contest, which anyone can enter at http://www.youtube.com/group/shopandconfess. eBillme and this week’s featured eBillme merchant, Crutchfield, selected her video confession as the week’s top pick, leaving only two weeks to go before the $20,000 grand prize winning video is chosen.
“Now Kristina’s boyfriend knows why he keeps running out of hangers in their closet—because Kristina keeps stealing them for her ever-expanding wardrobe!,” says Marwan Forzley, President and CEO of MODASolutions, and creator of the eBillme alternative online payment option. “We hope he’ll grant her the forgiveness she requests, and that they’ll both enjoy her $1,000 prize, right in time for their holiday shopping.”
The eBillme Secret Shopping Confessions Contest launched on October 25 at www.ShopAndConfess.com, and will run until November 26. There’s still time for guilt-ridden secret shoppers to fess up and tell the world about the generous or indulgent shopping they’ve kept hidden from family, friends, or significant others. Two more $1,000 weekly prizes have yet to be awarded, and the $20,000 grand prize remains up for grabs.
Contestants can enter the eBillme Shopping Confessions contest by submitting a video or a text confession. Maybe it was the guilty pleasure of a designer handbag, the indulgence of a top-of-the-line HDTV, the romance of European getaway—or their secret use of male beauty products! Just produce a 30- to 60-second video confessing the secret purchases, and upload it to the official YouTube contest channel http://www.youtube.com/group/shopandconfess. Then register the confession at www.ShopandConfess.com. Text confessions can be submitted by entering the written confession at either the YouTube group or the FaceBook group.
The winning video will document what the contestant bought, where they bought it, why they bought it, who they bought it for, why they kept it a secret, how they kept it secret, and how their secret was (or will be) revealed.
On Dec. 13, the judges will select the best secret shopping confession from among all those submitted, and award the $20,000 grand prize. Participation is open to all residents of the U.S. and Canada. Contestants can submit as many videos as they like, and are automatically eligible for the weekly $1,000 prizes and the $20,000 grand prize.
Think creatively. Make the judges laugh, make them cry, make them sigh! Wow eBillme’s judges, including celebrity guest judge, Alison Deyette, a television correspondent, style expert, and co-founder of Stylebakery.com. Videos are also judged by Natalie MacLean, national wine connoisseur, and author of Red, White and Drunk All Over; and Marwan Forzley, eBillme’s CEO and founder.
eBillme’s Shopping Confessions Video Contest ends Nov. 26 at 11:59 p.m. EST. The remaining weekly $1,000 prize winners will be selected on Nov. 16, and 23. The $20,000 grand prize winner will be announced on Dec. 13. To learn more and for complete contest rules, terms, and conditions, please visit www.ShopAndConfess.com.
