TigerDirect wants business customers to 'Ask a shark'

TigerDirect is giving business owners a chance to have their most pressing business growth questions answered by an expert.

The retailer is sponsoring a contest featuring Kevin O'Leary, an entrepreneur, investor, journalist, and financial commentator who is most famous for being a "Shark" investor on the ABC reality television series Shark Tank.

Kevin and the TigerDirect Business team will choose their favorite questions and then ask the winning submitters to create and submit a short video of themselves asking their questions. Then, starting in Mid-August, Kevin will answer the winning questions and feature the videos on all of TigerDirect Business' social media channels -- including YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn -- which reach hundreds of thousands of people.

"I wouldn't be where I am today without some very good advice from my mentors in the past. Now I'm paying it forward," said Kevin O'Leary, Chairman of O'Leary Financial Group. "TigerDirect Business is all about empowering clients with the best IT Solutions to meet their business objectives and maximize their technological investments. I'm all about empowering those clients to make business decisions that will lead to as much financial success as I've had. So go ahead, ask me anything!"

Along with having their video and business name featured in front of hundreds of thousands of TigerDirect Business fans, one lucky submitter will win an HP ProBook 450 G2 Notebook PC which features an Intel Core i7 5500U 2.4GHz Dual-Core processor, 8GB DDR3 RAM and 1TB HDD of storage capacity.

In addition to the "Ask Kevin" content, TigerDirect Business has launched a new video series called Wonderful Business Tips. The series, which airs three times a week on all TigerDirect Business social media channels and on TigerDirectBusiness.com, features Kevin O'Leary offering advice and answering questions on how small to medium sized business owners can improve and grow their businesses.
