Beverly Has some good points. Maybe we as a community along With Ent. could come out with a promotional materials kit. It would be nice to have an interactive CD (infomercial) with testimonials, demonstrations, general information, and product demos. There are many successful people on this list who probably have a terrific story to tell.
Even though my major project with a friend is basically done in the back of a warehouse, through our marketing materials (CD, brochure, embroidered shirts) we look less shmucky (if that is a word). What has really put us over the top is adding a Titanium Powerbook G4 and projector. After trying to tell our story with little or no effect, putting the CD and website on the projector made us bigger than life. (It also helped that we got our dog and pony shtick down) You don't have to spend a fortune for quality materials. You can look sophisticated and still keep things simple. I am sure Phil and Sophia have/know people who could produce this. Again, Beverly is correct we do need materials however one other thought is that we as Witango (for lack of a better word) service providers could also use promotional materials when engaging our potential customers. People have often had a problem selling Witango as a potential solution. With the right dressing/trimmings it could make our sales process easier too. We Witango "service providers" do occasionally sell Witango copies as well!!
