LegalZoom Announces Free Commercial Contest to Help Small Businesses

GLENDALE, Calif., Oct. 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- LegalZoom, the nation's leading legal resource for entrepreneurs, announced the launch of a small business contest giving away free national television advertising. Contest participants are asked to create a 25-second commercial featuring their business, and upload the video to the LegalZoom Facebook page, where the contest winner will be selected through a voting system. LegalZoom will purchase a minimum of $20,000 of airtime for the winning commercial to be broadcast to a national audience. That translates to a minimum of 50 free spots for the winning business owner.

"The positive impact of a national commercial can be dramatic," says Scott MacDonell, VP of Marketing and Advertising. "But few small businesses can afford the cost of that exposure, especially in the current economic climate. With this contest, we want to give a deserving small business national exposure on our dime."

In addition to its self-help online legal documents, LegalZoom offers prepaid legal plans for individuals and small businesses at a cost of as little as $15 a month. Customers can obtain legal advice over the telephone and other simple services from an attorney in their state.

"Entrepreneurs, by nature, invest a massive amount of passion and creativity into their business," says John Suh, CEO. "We're excited to see what that creativity can produce in the video submissions.  What works for TV can often be easily repurposed for other channels like online advertising or video streaming."

The LegalZoom contest will run through December 31, 2011 and a winner will be announced in January 2012. "LegalZoom has always been and continues to be a mission driven company," says Suh. "Whether its bringing access to the law or access to tools which help you grow your business, we're in the business of helping entrepreneurs."
