Cash4Gold Featured on “The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien”

Last night on “The Tonight Show,” host Conan O’Brien noted the popularity of Cash4Gold’s mail-in gold-buying service and even aired part of a Cash4Gold commercial on the show. The segment joked that so many Americans are selling their unwanted jewelry using Cash4Gold.com that people are running out of gold to send to the company.

“The Tonight Show” went on to air a spoof commercial for an alternative service. We like to keep this blog G-rated so we will forgo a full description and simply say that their mock commercial made us blush.

Last night’s mention on “The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien” is just one of many recent appearances for the brand in the mainstream media. Cash4Gold was also included in an article on the price of gold in Time Magazine and on the Soul Train Awards show with a special cameo from Cash4Gold’s spokesperson and partner MC Hammer.

Cash4Gold is proud to help Americans turn their unwanted gold, silver and platinum into cash with its convenient and reliable service.

Pompano Beach, Fla. – December 8, 2009 – Cash4Gold (www.Cash4Gold.com), the world’s #1 gold buyer direct from consumers, has announced that MC Hammer has a financial interest in the business and will be joined by Goldie in its next UK television spot.

Three-time Grammy Award-winner MC Hammer is a social media expert and has lectured on the subject at prestigious universities such as Harvard and Stanford. He has more than 1.5 million followers on Twitter (http://twitter.com/MCHammer) and has been advising Cash4Gold on ways to expand the business by employing social media technologies to reach customers.

Earlier this year, MC Hammer was featured in the company’s highly-acclaimed Super Bowl spot, following which Cash4Gold launched a national competition in the UK to find an English celebrity to appear in its British television commercials. The British public, through suggestions submitted via the website http://uk.cash4gold.com, voted Goldie as its favorite UK celebrity to be featured in an upcoming Cash4Gold commercial. The lucky contest winner will join Goldie, Hammer and Cash4Gold CEO Jeff Aronson for tea today (12pm) at Gordon Ramsay at Claridge’s. Members of the UK media are welcome to come by to conduct interviews and photograph the event.

“We are delighted that the iconic MC Hammer has joined Cash4Gold as a partner," said Cash4Gold CEO Jeff Aronson. “As a company we have worked closely with Hammer on projects ranging from the Super Bowl ad to numerous charitable events with Feed The Children. In fact, on Wednesday we will be visiting an elementary school in Sheffield to partner with the organization and serve breakfast to children. It is a thrill to welcome Goldie onto the team and I think the British public will really enjoy seeing him in our UK spots – his name, talents, broad appeal and famous gold teeth make him the perfect fit for Cash4Gold.”

“Cash4Gold is a growing business and I’m excited to have been so closely involved,” said MC Hammer. “We’ve had a great working relationship in the United States. It’s going to be really fun bringing our brand and services to the people of the UK along with Goldie. We’re going to let everyone know that it’s time to take that broken or unwanted gold and get it sold. We’re melting gold, baby!”

“It is an honor to have been voted by the British public as their favorite UK celebrity to feature in the ad,” said Goldie. “I’m looking forward to a strong and close relationship with Cash4Gold. While Cash4Gold has already launched in the UK, I won’t be sending in my gold teeth just yet as I’m sure that they will be part of my appeal for the ad.”

Cash4Gold launched in the UK back in July and the company plans to continue its international expansion into six additional countries during 2010. U.S. residents who would like to sell their unwanted jewelry can visit www.Cash4Gold.com or call 1-877-GOLD-590.

Cash4Gold and MC Hammer Supporting Feed the Children

Cash4Gold and MC Hammer are in the UK this week. Over the course of the past few days they have announced the selection of a very special UK celebrity for the next Cash4Gold ad (GOLDIE!!!!) and given back to the local community by partnering with the humanitarian organization Feed the Children.

The press release below announces Cash4Gold and MC Hammer’s efforts to jumpstart Feed the Children’s Breakfast2Live Campaign. This is great news, and the latest in a long line of charitable efforts by the company and the iconic MC Hammer.

Here is a copy of the press release announcing the Feed the Children partnership:

Cash4...Breakfast
Cash4Gold and MC Hammer launch Feed The Children’s Breakfast2Live campaign

SHEFFIELD, 9 December 2009: Leading mail-in gold buyer Cash4Gold and MC Hammer, three-time Grammy award winner, today announced the launch of Breakfast2Live, a Feed The Children (UK) campaign. The Breakfast2Live campaign calls on groups and individuals around the UK to hold breakfasts to raise money for the charity’s life-saving projects in developing countries and UK breakfast clubs.
Cash4Gold secured £10,000 for the charity by donating the money through the the Big Give website, whose sponsoring Reed Organisation matched pound-for-pound Cash4Gold’s pledge at the maximum contribution level of £5,000.

Brian Main, Charity Chief Executive of Feed The Children, said: “We thank Cash4Goldfor its extremely generous contribution and are deeply appreciative of the company’s—and MC Hammer’s—proven and long-standing commitment to the critical work that we do. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and we are asking people to take time out for just one meal to think about the thousands of children who need our help in this country and abroad. In the week commencing Monday, February 22nd we’d like people to run or join a breakfast event that will raise money for Feed The Children (UK). ”

MC Hammer, three-time Grammy award-winner and celebrity endorser of Cash4Gold, said: “We’re delighted to support Feed the Children’s worthwhile campaign here in the UK. We want to help the campaign succeed in ensuring that more children around the world get the right they deserve – to eat breakfast. Cash4Gold and I have been involved in Feed the Children events for years, including distributing food to needy families and utilising social media to raise support for Feed The Children (US) following natural disasters in the Pacific and widespread flooding at home in Georgia.”

Jeff Aronson, CEO of Cash4Gold, said: “Cash4Gold has for a long time supported Feed The Children in the US and we’re pleased to be doing the same in the UK. We want to encourage as many people as possible to join us in supporting the vital work of this great organization. Hammer has five children and I have three, so helping kids is something very near and dear to our hearts. ”

Cash4Gold, the world’s #1 gold buyer direct from consumers, launched in the UK in July 2009 and chose Sheffield as its base due to its renowned industrial roots as the Steel City.

Feed The Children has a number of ideas of how people can raise money for Breakfast2Live:
• You can host a breakfast and invite friends (get items donated and then charge a small fee of say £5.00 per breakfast).
• Restaurants and cafes can donate a small percentage of the price of a special ‘Breakfast2Live’ on the menu to the charity, or have a collection tin on the day and ask for donations to the charity from everyone eating in the restaurant.
• If you have regular coffee mornings, get a batch of cakes or breakfast muffins donated or baked, invite your friends along and if everyone pays about £1.50 for a cup of tea or coffee and a muffin you can raise money that way.
