Want to make $100 AND bug people? Chirp. Chirp.

Thursday, June 18th, 2009

Word of mouth is everything these days. The best way to tell people about a new, cool gadget is through a friend that has one! Hands down, people trust friends more than companies.

When people see theCRICKETtoy™, they often want to buy one. But it is hard for a small company to get the word out. How would you like to make some money selling theCRICKETtoy™ in your circle of friends and acquaintances? If you think this is a hilarious, silly gadget and are going to buy some, why not see if you can get yours free and make some money?

theCRICKETtoy™ sells online for $5.00. But if you purchase 4 dozen of them (48), I will give you the price that I am now charging retailers (wholesale pricing)! You can now order 4 dozen of them for only $2.50 each. That is 50% off the retail price! I’m basically looking for new ‘retailers’ to sell theCRICKETtoy. You could sell them to your friends, family, folks at school and at church. If you are a retailer, this is an EASY WAY to place your order as well.

If you sold all of them, you would make over $100. If you sell just 24 of them, then the other 24 would basically be free!

If you are looking to make a little money this summer, buy the ‘Retailer’s Pack of 48′ and go sell some bugs. The great thing is that anytime it is awkward when you are trying to sell theCRICKETtoy™, just push the button (Chirp. Chirp.) and say “use it for awkward moments like right now” You might get a laugh AND a sale.

Disclaimers:
• If you buy these, please do not actually Chirp in Church (School?-That’s a judgement call)
• If you buy these and then discover you don’t have friends, they are not returnable (unless they are broken of course)

Visit the Products/Store and buy them today!

Chirp. Chirp.

Got a Blog? Can I ‘bug’ you for free?

Monday, June 15th, 2009

Do you have a blog? I could really use your help if you do.

I am going to give away theCRICKETtoy™ free to the first 25 bloggers who respond on Twitter.

If you have a blog and a Twitter account, simply reply in one of your Tweets with @theCRICKETtoy Chirp. Chirp. and I will send you theCRICKETtoy™ free. All I ask is that you blog about it. Good, bad, ugly, awkward..whatever.

We’re not a large company and don’t have tons of money for marketing, and I truly believe that through blogs, Facebook and Twitter, we can get the word out to a LOT of people about theCRICKETtoy™. I really do need your help. This would fit in the ’shameless plug’ category. You know what I’m doing. I know what I’m doing (debatable). I could use your voice. I can’t afford to do big TV commercials, and I honestly believe that the blog/twitter/facebook world has so much more of an impact in regards to getting the word out.

The first 25 bloggers to Tweet @theCRICKETtoy will get one free. WIll you help me? Can I ‘bug’ you?

Yep..lame joke. Hence, theCRICKETtoy™.

Chirp. Chirp.
