Anyone see the festool tweet aboult something big happening tomorrow?  Wonder what it is.

I saw it, I hope it isn't a flashlight or something.

I don't use twitter, what wouldn't they post it on the FOG?

Hmm, maybe they're going to have another reconditioned sale!?  [big grin] [scared] [unsure] [mad] [crying]

I agree, why is it not posted on FOG.  Still believe Shane's shoe will be hard to fill!!!!!

TylerC did say last week that they'd be announcing several new products over the next few weeks.

Let's be clear now, FestoolUSA never announces anything new, they just announce the ability to buy something that others have had the ability to buy for a few months/years already.  [embarassed]

I'm pretty sure one of the new things is the light. It's supposed to be out any time now.

If I had to place a wager, I would bet on Festool USA tweeting a link to this week's CXS drill sweepstakes.  Week 1: FOG (which nobody mentioned winning), Week 2: SysNotes email.  My guess is Week 3: Twitter, Week 4: Facebook.

P.S. - I'd love to be wrong and have them announce the availability of the combo sort systainers, but Twitter only for the announcement?

The only reason I have a twitter account is for festool sweepstakes. Ha.

I know the last day to enter to win a drill was monday I believe, so I'd say that probably has something to do with it, or maybe 50% off all of their products?  Guy can dream right.

Posted today, about 3 hours ago, on their Facebook page. Twitter announcement seems to be the same.

I wonder just how many 90th anniversary drills were made..? Or if a winners list will be released (or barring that, I f I win one that would be OK too!)

bleh...i thought it was the release of the sys combi. enter to win? i never win anything.

I can't help but think that their giveaway would produce more bang for the buck if they gave their top 30 dealers a CXS to raffle off in-store, which would put their real target market (not people from sweepstakes news websites) closer to their actual product, where sales staff could answer questions.  I'm sure social media is a great tool for some promotions, but maybe an online sweepstakes format is not the best tool for the job of selling high-end tools.

Sounds great for those living close to a top 30 dealer, for the rest of us, not so much.

That's leverage for you.

I could have swore the contest was suppose to end the other day, I looked at the rules and it said it started yesterday because I know I entered it a week or two ago.

Wasn't that the 'FOG version'? This seems to be the 'Facebook / Twitter/ version'. I also entered last week, and this week as well...

 

[Gixxerjoe04]

Can't recall where I signed up for the last one, thought it was through facebook but could be wrong.
