Dell Drives Computer Gifts with Celebrity Pitches

Anyone yearning for a Dell computer as a holiday gift can get some help from a lineup of celebrities on Dell’s Web site.

Looking to inject some levity into the process, Dell has archived videos of sales pitches from a roster of recognizable personalities. To prospect for a PC gift, users can make their product pick on the Dell site, twin it with one of the celebrity pitches at http://www.YoursIsHere.com and send to a likely gift-giver.

Dell’s celebrity lineup includes Burt Reynolds, Chuck Liddel, Brooke Burke, Estelle Harris, Ice T. and Viveca Fox.

Users who are 18 or older also have the option to set up a PayPal account and solicit contributions for the computer of their dreams from family and friends. A “chip-in” widget is available for users’ Facebook or MySpace pages to gauge the progress of contributions and thank their contributors.

“With YoursIsHere.com, Dell is helping customers connect with their friends and family in personal, unique and interesting ways,” said David Clifton, Dell global marketing communications director, in a statement.
