Wichita Motion Billboards (WMBB), a VISIONS LLC company, just launched the first 2-sided LED billboard in Wichita, KS in a unique and powerful location…I-135 and K-96. Those in Wichita will instantly recognize this as being what WMBB calls “The Gateway to Wichita.”
Both of these roads are heavily traveled and K-96 transports many commuters and visitors to downtown Wichita, East Wichita and suburbs/communities beyond. While LED billboards have all the current “buzz” in outdoor advertising, they have been banned by law ON K-96. So, this is the only 14′X48′ billboard seen just before entering the K-96 expressway. Exiting K-96 to head north offers the same unique exposure with the other side of the billboard easily seen after exiting north onto I-135.
As if this weren’t enough, the sign sits on the land owned by His Helping Hands, one of Wichita’s most valuable charities for those in need. So, WMBB lease payments will help the charity continue to offer free clothing, furniture, computers, household items, etc. to those most affected by economic trials in this economy. Check out the video and other details here.
See if this opportunity might work for promoting your business.
OxyMagic Carpet Cleaning in Wichita, KS Launches New YouTube Video Channel
Posted by: | Comments
Several years ago, my wife (Donna Bolin) and I purchased the Wichita, KS franchise for OxyMagic Carpet Cleaning. It wasn’t as though we needed more to do. She is a real estate broker with Coldwell Banker Plaza Real Estate and I own THINK-TANK (you’re here), a marketing and design firm.
In any event, after Kelly Bolin (Donna’s son) expressed interest in purchasing the KC franchise, we were impressed enough by the results that we got in the demo vs. what we’d experienced with steam cleaning that we moved ahead with purchasing the franchise.
Recently, we purchased a smart car to promote the business (both are ECO-FRIENDLY and just “smart”). To help those not yet familiar with oxygenated cleaning, we just launched the new OxyMagic of Wichita YouTube Channel where we will be uploading a series of training and instructional videos. Get to the Channel by clicking the photo.
Will the Apple iPad be an iFlop?
Posted by: | Comments
After months of speculation about the introduction of Apple’s “tablet,” the iPad was finally introduced last week with MUCH fanfare! While there has been much discussion among tech writers and analysts about what it “doesn’t” include, I think that they may have forgotten the history of the iPhone. Shortly after the iPhone launch less than 2 years ago, there was much grumbling about the limitations of the iPhone…most importantly, it’s inability to run third-party apps.
A Real Estate Agent’s Dream-Adding Value with Great Photos from an iPhone
Posted by: | CommentsI read the other day a great quote from a photographer. The question was “What’s the best camera?” His answer? “The one you have with you.”
I work with a number of real estate agents. While they may have a large megapixel camera to shoot their listings, increasingly the value of an agent is reflected in how quickly they can get their photos to potential buyers AND how high the quality of the photos is.
Without special lighting (and most agents don’t have that), the photos often end up being either very underexposed or overexposed. However, with this under-$2 iPhone app, just about anyone can get quality photos and quickly e-mail them right to a prospective buyer. See the sample photos below and the link to the iPhone app called PRO HDR. One note: This will only work with the iPhone 3GS and the better camera that it has. Check it out!

MY STORY-APPLE CONTINUES TO DAZZLE WITH AWESOME CUSTOMER SERVICE
Posted by: | CommentsI recently bought a MacBook Air to do presentations as VP-Affiliate Mktg Strategies for HomeStore Rewards. (See another presentation in FEATURED VIDEO at the bottom of the page featuring Apple’s marketing & design expertise.)
These presentations use Apple’s Keynote presentation software (makes PowerPoint presentations look lame by comparison). In any event, within a week or so of getting the Air, I noticed that it wasn’t charging correctly. So, I called and the Apple rep advised me to take it to my local authorized Apple service center. So I did. Here’s where it gets interesting.
VIDEO-NATIONAL HEALTHY-LIVING EXPERT FEATURES OxyMagic CARPET CLEANING
Posted by: | CommentsIn 2006, we purchased an OxyMagic Carpet Cleaning franchise for Wichita, KS and surrounding areas. You’ll see below the new smart car that we purchased to outfit with OxyMagic graphics similar to what you see. Well, just recently, Terri Bennett, a nationally-known healthy-living expert, did a feature video in concert with OxyMagic of the Carolinas. It is an awesome profile of the benefits of using OxyMagic Carpet Cleaning (other than the obvious understanding that OXY cleaners just work better and are more eco-friendly).
