UFO delight

And somewhere out there amongst the millions of bland products that get spat out daily from the world's conglomeration of factories shines a little beauty......

THIS is not only a regular USB Flash Drive item, but also a Voice Recorder with a one touch stop and start function to record anything you like, and then play it back later on the computer.
Now... I'm not going to reveal quite yet the industry for which we have sourced this cutie, but I can assure you that Private Investigators aren't the only ones who utilise this kind of handy item ;-)

Gotta get their attention first

Since most of these posts are dealing with the LIGHTER side of business and product sourcing, let's kick off with an old classic: Getting your customer's attention first!

Isn't it funny how certain things are way more successful at getting most people's attention?

Take a look at this for example......
I am a farmer and I have one small yellow chicken and the last of my batch of cute kittens left to sell. What is the best way to get people to stop for a second and take a look at my advert?



Did it work on you? ;-P
