Even if your iPhone is out of warrantly and you drop it in liquid(water, beer, wine…) you can take it to an Apple store and have it exchanged for a refurbished iPhone for only $199 plus tax. I had the 16gb white and they replaced it with the exact same phone. The cost is the same wether you have the 8gb or the 16gb. They will remove your old sim card and put it in the new phone. If you do not have a sim card you will have to go to the AT&T store and purchase a new sim card for $25 plus tax. Due to security reasons deactivated sim cards cannot be reactivated. So even though I had 20 of those laying around you still need to purchase a new one.

Monday, May 18th, 2009Trade Shows and Expo Booths
Tuesday, November 25th, 2008I have done quite a few trade shows for United First Financial and I have failed miserly at most of them. it is amazing how much you learn from failure. One key principle I try to teach everyone about marketing it to do it right or do not do it at all. This is very true for trade shows.
Booth Size
A small 10′x10′ booth is great if you want to be part of the crowd but if you want to stand out gather a group of people and split the cost of a larger booth.
Electric
Usually very expensive but having power for your booth is a must.
Internet
MUST HAVE! Here you have a few options. You can purchase a wireless internet card from your cell phone carrier for roughly $50 a month. If you are traveling at all to do business this can pay for itself very easily. If you are to purchase on of these air cards I recommend that you get a USB card. It might be a little clunky when using on your laptop but it also allows you to use it on a desktop computer. It is essential you have the ability to run an analysis, show the demo software or sign up and agent at the booth.
Giveaways
You need to create a reason for people #1 to stop at your both and #2 to give you their information. This goes back to doing it right. Factor into the cost of the booth a nice prize of some sort. Maybe a small plasma TV, iPhone or if it is a home show try a few hundred dollar gift certificate to Home Depot.
This is just a few tips but remember your goal is to get their info not for you to give them info. Flyers, business cards and fancy pens end up in the trash on the way out or the next day at home. Do not focus on what you give out but how you captue and follow up.
