Poken vs. Apple iPhone |

Lamar,
How do you knwo what IBM intended? Were you there? How succesful was it? Are people using it afterwards or was it a party favor?
>>Question: Can you exchange contact information between iPhones and other mobile devices using Bluetooth technology? Answer: Yes. Question: Is the exchange of information comprehensive - including more than 30 social media sites? Answer: No. And, that is just one reason why Pokens should increase in popularity.
Where do you get your facts from? It is quite simple to write an app to do all of that. I would be surprised if there was not an app for that already. Did you research it?
>>Can you brand a business to a conference using an iPhone, cell phone or any mobile device other than a Poken? Answer: No
Again you are 100% wrong as Iphones have been given out at events. Branded with skins and screen savers.
I branded a T-sirt for other reasons, not to exchange contact info. For that I used cards.
How much do pokens cost? How much do you think a printed T-shirt costs?
>>Finally, do you think it would do you any good to give a good business client of yours a T-shirt with your logo on it for Christmas? After all, the client could wear the shirt and brand your business to the public. But, what does that really do for your client's business? Nothing. However, were you to give the gift of a Poken, you are giving your client something that can actually positively impact his ability to do better business. Do you think you client would appreciate that kind of Christmas gift as opposed to a T-shirt? Sometimes Russ, simple is better.
Forgeting the fact that not everyone celebrates Christian holidays, something you just do not get, but yes people love T-shirts and it re-enforces your brand more effectivly than almost any other item. I was given an Oracle T-shirt taht only Execs get, I am quite happy with it.
Giving a person a Poken without having almsot every other person using it, would hurt my image. It would be viewed as usless and confusing.
But that is me, so I hope you give out a few hundred in your area an start something. If not then you do not practice what you preach.Private Reply to Scott Wolpow (new win) |
