VeteranOwnedBusiness.com received the following message recently from Gia Kornet, Casting Associate Producer for Embassy Row Productions. Please read the following email and contact Gia directly if you have any questions and/or for more information.
—————————————————————————————
“I work for Embassy Row Productions (Who Wants To Be A Millionaire) we are currently casting a new series for TV Land and would like to have a veteran on the show.
The show works by nominating a deserving individual with the most fun and memorable day ever. We work closely with family and the business owner to set up a day full of surprises and celebrity encounters.
Seeing that the is a surprise I was hoping to get the word out to veteran owned businesses who could benefit from TV coverage of their company. If they have another veteran working for them they could nominate that person. If the person is cast then we would want to shoot in the company location.
At this time we are only casting in New York & New Jersey and are looking to nominate a veteran between the ages of 30-50.
See below for information and feel free to post or email members about the show.
My company is working on a new series for TV LAND called “Make My Day.” It’s a fun, new show with humorous scenarios and great surprises. The show works by having people like you nominate a family member/friend/co-worker/employee who deserves an amazing and memorable day.
Here is blurb about the show:
Do you know someone you’d like to surprise with the best day of their life? Then nominate them and they’ll be the star of their own show for a day!
Here is who we’re looking for:
Must be 30 to 50 years of age
Lives with someone over the age of 18
Resides in New York or New Jersey
Has great reactions and an upbeat, friendly, outgoing personality
Generally follows a structured routine through out the week
Does not work for a business chain of any kind, preferably a privately owned, smaller business
If you know someone who you think would be perfect for this please email:
GMK@EMBASSYROW.COM OR CALL GIA AT 646.386.9098
PLEASE ATTACH A PHOTO OF THE PERSON YOU’RE NOMINATING AND TELL US ALL ABOUT THEM!!!
AND REMEMBER…IT’S ALL A SURPRISE, SO DON’T LET THEM KNOW YOU’VE NOMINATED THEM!
And please feel free to pass this email onto your friends and co-workers, etc.
Thank you!!!

New directory of Veteran Owned and Service Disabled Veteran Owned businesses reaches 1,000 business listing milestone in just under 100 days of going live.
Veterans who own and operate businesses have found a new, comprehensive directory to help promote their products and/or services to millions of fellow veterans, government agencies, corporate purchasing departments, contractors and consumers who wish to proudly support veterans by choosing to review their products and/or services for possible purchase.
VeteranOwnedBusiness.com was released online into Beta on Veteran’s Day 2008 (November 11, 2008). In just under 100 days, since being released online, this directory of veteran owned and service disabled veteran owned businesses has surpassed the 1,000 business listing mark.
“This marks a significant milestone for VeteranOwnedBusiness.com,” said Brian K. St.Ours, VeteranOwnedBusiness.com’s Founder and President. “We are trying to reach as many veteran owned and service disabled veteran owned businesses as possible in order to make sure each company signs up for a free listing. The more businesses we have listed, the more fellow veterans we have out there helping spread the word about this excellent online resource.”
Listings in VeteranOwnedBusiness.com are free. Each company gets a very detailed company profile which includes contact information, directions with a detailed mapping system, a product/service description, link to the company’s website (if one exists) and several other details.
Traffic for VeteranOwnedBusiness.com has grown just as rapidly as sign ups. In January, just a few weeks after going live, VeteranOwnedBusiness.com was receiving thousands of weekly visitors and ended the month with over 100,000 page views.
“We anticipate traffic to significantly increase as we work to hit our next milestone of 2,500 business listings. We will be implementing a very aggressive marketing campaign over the next few months to ensure we reach as many veterans, active duty military, reservists and service disabled veterans who own businesses as possible,” added St.Ours.
