Extreme skating company Roller Warehouse hopes to jump on whats left of the MySpace bandwagon with an interesting promotion. Roller Warehouse’s Rid D tells us, “We’ve created a news ticker that can be pasted within any MySpace page, and are rewarding any MySpacers who use this ticker with a 5% discount on any purchase. We think this is a great buzz-marketing effort, and we’ve already seen a significant increase in sales since implementing the program.” Reviewing any typical MySpace page, it’s clear members love their widgets so this Roller Warehouse widget would feel right at home.
