Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

I think you have the answer in your question. Give it to them free! Like many authors and their first publications and those producing new products, sometimes you have to give your product away for consumers to recognize its quality. This is how many infomercials work. Essentially it costs so little to actually produce the product that the small price they charge, plus shipping and handling will cover production costs and generate some income. Later they generate a buzz around the product and raise the price. Look at the "Shamwow" for example. It's just a piece of 100% rayon, nothing fancy. They used to hand those things out at county fairs, the state fair and any other venue. Those people would take them home, use them and then tell their friends, family and neighbors. Those people would then make an actual purchase based on the recommendation.

Try and find some public venues where you can demonstrate your product and give these items to people for free. You could have drawing contests, Pictionary games, etc. showing the versatility and quality of the product. Winners take one for free! Make sure the people you are giving them to will be using them in a highly visible way. Here's some ideas where you might want your product to be hanging:

* Schools
* Large Offices
* Restaurants/Coffee Shops
* Cafeterias
* Media companies (storyboards, story ideas, etc.)

If you know people that work in these areas, give them one! Make sure you provide some form of handout or flyer that will tell future buyers where to get one.

Good Luck!

I agree with Brendon... in about August/September set up a table in as many college and student unions as possible and give away 100-500 boards, prominently displaying the website in a lower corner. Folks will run to the website who didn't get one, and find where to get 'em post-haste! Good luck. :)

Put Whitey board videos on as many streaming video sites as possible.

Demonstrate the Whitey board in libraries.

Thanks Silverhammer! I missed that part!

I would just skip steps 1, 2 and 5.

Your answer neglects to address the condition of "free". Do you have suggestions that don't involve hiring?
