3. Vinyl Throw

So you have an app related to music and it needs promotion, but you don’t want to spend that much on ads? Maybe the developers of MusicBunk was thinking something similar and came up with this video. How more can it be related to music? (OK, maybe by throwing CDs? No.) Fake or real? Up to you to decide, I like it. So does almost 400,000 viewers since 8th of May. And remember, promotion of a new product or service does not have to be that pricey.
