Wow, such a nice reminder of the awesome style Skip had in his writing. Makes me miss him even more ... but I did enjoy the chance to re-visit with him through the guide.

Good stuff!

Would be great to hear how you twisted the process to your benefit. Sounds like multiple advertisers on the package, using complementary services?

Were you including the cameras? In today's digital world of cell phones with cameras, that seems unnecessary, but is the package impressive enough without it? Hmm ...

I tried to Google the guide too, couldn't find it... Link please?

Thanks in advance, Eva

Never mind, found it...

Sounds like I am talking to myself, too quiet in here guys. Anyhow, since most have cell phones, camera not needed but if you are out of battery, what do you do? Poked around a bit and found this;

Being a non-techie, will this one work for both Android and iphones?

Would including one increase ease of sale?

Just thinking out loud...

P.s. Also found this one;

They have branded it for them only.

Eva, just my two cents, but I think that may be over-complicating it.

Also, so many different kinds of phones out there ... iphones, newer iphones with different charging jacks, various LG and others ... I have at least three different "basic" charging cords home, and they are all quite "phone specific."

I think you can add enough sizzle to sell the kits without the need for a "tangible" product inside ... but that opinion comes from the comfort of my want-trepreneur recliner ... so ...

I'm weighing my options, a car charger with a cordless USB plugin might be one choice, still researching... One thing is for sure do, IF I am going to do it, now is the time to get it done because of upcoming holidays. That means an opportunity to sell it as a gift biz owners can give away in the spirit of Christmas.

I have another reason too, just have not told people on this forum about it. Here it goes:

I had a stroke in April, was in the hospital for 12 days and at first could not even speak, go to the bathroom or eat by myself. I was affected on my whole left side so I had to learn how to walk again. Now, almost 6 months later, I can walk, talk, eat etc again even though I had a second mini-stroke in July and was taken in for 4 days.

On top of that, was taken in by ambulance, also in July and was diagnosed with acute Glaucoma on the right eye. Did a procedure on my right eye 3 weeks ago to try to save it and even though I lost 90% of my sight, I am hopeful I will get better.

This simple project is something I can handle and I have a couple of people that can promote it for me. I hate to lay at home helpless and do nothing, besides, I need to bring in some income even though I will probably get disability.

To me, this is worth a try and I am gathering knowledge and setting up a plan as we speak.

Wish me good luck,

Eva

Hi Eva:

Looks like no one uses their glove compartment anymore.

I did my own Google search for accident kits and found a bunch of accident
cell phone apps who are sponsored by accident lawyers.

Here's an example:

Maybe you can brand your own (localized) car accident app, and get auto body shops, lawyers, and insurance companies as paid sponsors.

All the best,

Yes, I am sure it is, still believe in printed material though as I am sure many others do as well. Will take a look though out of curiosity,
