WESTLAKE VILLAGE, CA, August 18, 2009 —
Guitar Center Professional (GC
Pro), the outside sales division of Guitar Center that focuses on the
needs of professional users, announces the launch of its new online
sweepstakes at www.gcpro.com. Several times a year, GC Pro management
will select one particular product from a high-end gear manufacturer to
feature on the website and give away as that sweepstakes prize.
To
enter the contest, users simply go to gcpro.com and click on the
“Sweepstakes” tab. There, entrants will complete and submit a short
entry form. The winner will then be selected at random. Complete rules
can be found at
gcpro.com.
“This
sweepstakes is a way for us to feature outstanding products from top
manufacturers in the professional audio community, to give people
another reason to visit our great new GC Pro website, and to give back
to our loyal end user/customer base,” stated Rick Plushner, GC Pro
Director. “These are products that we feel strongly about, and it’s
another way to garner additional exposure for our manufacturer
partners.”
The inaugural contest is now online and will run
through September 30. It features a Solid State Logic XLogic Alpha
Channel, a $995.00 value. This unit offers state-of-the-art analogue
channel processing for any audio workstation; professional mic preamp
with line and instrument level switching; studio-class EQ, Filter and
Limiter; Variable Harmonic Drive (in other words, a “time machine” of
distortion characteristics); and analogue or digital outputs direct to
users’ workstations. The winner will be contacted after September 30.
The
sweepstakes comes as part of GC Pro’s recent series of upgrades to its
website, which was unveiled last month. The new site features a
streamlined interface, straightforward navigation, and new
market-derived content, all part of a clean design that focuses on the
applications of GC Pro’s customers, allowing them to easily connect
with GC Pro’s account managers and other sales staff. Up-to-date news
on products and installations is seamlessly integrated into the site’s
main pages, which are split among dedicated recording studio,
post-production, live sound and house of worship site areas. The site
will be continually augmented with new features and content. Monthly
updates will consistently add new spotlights on GC Pro’s high-profile
customers and featured products.
“Our new site has been wildly
successful,” noted Plushner, “and we will be constantly looking at new
ways to drive traffic. What we have in mind is a sort of ‘crossroads’
or online meeting ground for customers, manufacturers and GC Pro
personnel, with useful news, important contact info and fun content
like the sweepstakes, all at users’ fingertips. We hope that people
keep coming back to see what we have in store.”
