Need to do a little branding on a personal level? America Online and Digital City are selling a personalized
AOL Keyword through the Neiman Marcus 1998 Christmas Book, which will be
marketed online exclusively on their sites.
The AOL Keyword, which joins a number of other fantasy gifts offered in the
renowned Neiman Marcus holiday catalog, will be sold at a starting bid of
$25,000 in the Fourth Annual Neiman Marcus Holiday Auction.
The AOL Keyword proceeds will go to the TeachforAmerica charity. The buyer
will not only have their own exclusive AOL Keyword for one year, but they’ll
also stake a claim in cyberspace by creating a personalized online site to
showcase anything from their
family photos to their favorite sports teams or celebrities, the companies
said.
The AOL Keyword fantasy gift package will also include roundtrip tickets for
two to Dallas, TX to meet with a selected Digital City production team to
design and customize the personalized site on AOL, and a trip to Dulles, VA
for an AOL Keyword launch party.
The top bidder also receives a one-year membership to AOL, a new Aptiva S
series computer from IBM and a digital camera. Bidders may call 1-800-NEIMANS.
AOL and Digital City will serve as the exclusive online showcase for the
Neiman Marcus 1998 Christmas Book. Financial terms of that arrangement were
not disclosed.
