Okay so it's not a prayer circle and fox probs won't care if we pray.
But this is good so let's take part too.
One of our Neural Network Brains (@Fringeship) had a great idea to meld two of the current strategies Fringe fans have employed to make our voices heard by both network and advertisers alike. Fringe fans make use of GetGlue in order to check-in to Fringe when watching the show. The importance of this is especially stressed for live views, but any views - whether live, DVR, or DVD - are helpful. We’ve also taken to tweeting show sponsors and advertisers, thanking them for their support.
I’ve said it before, and I will say it again: Fringe fans are a different kind of viewer than the normal television audience. We are INVESTED in the show’s worlds, story and characters. We notice every little detail in the show, other than just having a television on in the background at home, which is the norm for many households.
Because of our attention span, we are a great audience for product placement.
Yeah, I hear people groan about that topic. But really, is the choice between no Fringe, or some flashes of the team’s Apple computers or Nissans really hard to make?
It is also a fact that network executives are taking social media into account. (See “TV Viewers Get Social” at Nielsen.com) This works very well to our advantage, because as “some of the most passionate fans on the planet,” we know how to organize and make noise/buzz for our show. In fact, FOX has placed hash tags for its shows in the corner of episodes as they aired. The first show to employ this social media marketing was #Fringe.
So, please join us in making this effort a Cortexifan-powered success.
(AS PROMISED HERES A PICTURE:
now, you can't say no to him, can you?)
Fringe returns with the new episode, “Back to Where You’ve Never Been” on Friday, January 13th, 2012 - 9pm EST.
Let’s make it a combined effort to not only check-in to the show, but to also check-in to the show’s advertisers and comment, “Thank You for your support of Fringe! @FringeOnFox”
If you don’t have a Getglue account, get one! You can post your check-ins to Twitter or Facebook. The more activity, the better, as this may also get other Fringies involved in the GetGlue check-ins.
