Neff Personality Contest

One of our favorite in-store brands, Neff headwear and clothing, has launched a fun viral contest over on their facebook page seeking out a new Neff personality to be featured on their Youtube channel. Contestants are asked to film a short one minute video of a Neff product review and post it to Neff’s facebook wall. The contest deadline is April 28th at noon and owner Shaun Neff himself will be picking the winner based on creativity and promotion.

We may be a little biased but our pick so far is this vid a couple of our showroom employees put together. Help us spread the word and like the “WE’RE HERE WITH NEFF” video on Neff’s wall!
