If It Prints, I'll Let You Know

Take the HP OfficeJet Pro Challenge!

What do you do when you want to prove a point? You will most probably make an attempt at coming up with a way for people to experience the point that you are making, which is exactly what HP is doing when it posed the HP OfficeJet Pro Challenge to small businesses.

HP’s release of the HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 Wireless All-In-One promised savings of about $500 a year when compared with competitive laser printers, and whether it can deliver on that promise may be determined by the HP Challenge.

Five small businesses – organizations with 20 employees or less – will be randomly selected and allowed to put the new HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 Wireless All-In-One to the test, and they will get to share their experiences with the rest of the world by blogging about them on the HP Small and Medium Business Community. Readers will get to choose the winner through voting, and the lucky organization will receive a year’s supply of HP Officejet inkjet cartridges and HP Bright White paper. They will also receive a Logoworks by HP Gold Package for professional graphic design services – and they will get to keep the Officejet Pro system that they tested out.

Interested organizations may enter now until July 10; the Challenge participants will be announced on July 13. There is no need to purchase a new HP Printer to join.

Readers are encouraged to participate by following through on the Challenge participants’ blog posts on the HP Small and Medium Business community. The community currently allows small business organizations to share marketing tips and success stories as well as receive input from HP experts on how to build their brand and let their business grow.
