campaign kickstarter: Computer Genius
The year is 2014, and the robots have finally taken over. Did you notice? Probably not—their rise to dominance was swift and silent. Now, though, it's impossible to miss the signs. Suddenly no one (save for the most ardent orienteers and doomsday preppers) can read a paper map—we wait for the robot with the soothing voice that's mounted on our dashboard to tell us when to turn left. We can't remember anything without the robot in our pocket buzzing at the appropriate time to remind us it's our birthday. And as a society, we now collectively ignore the people talking to themselves on the street because we know they're really talking to the Bluetooth robots that live in their ears.
Basically, we are lost, forgetful and lonely without our robots, and this is excellent news for marketers. With so many ways to stay connected, businesses are always able to reach their target audience with their brand. Here are four computer accessories that are quickly growing to be today's most awesome promotions.
GO GO GADGET
The Comet USB Laser Pointer Pen from Alpec Team is not just any laser pointer. Oh, no. It's the Inspector Gadget of laser pointers! Sure, yes, it gives us that shining red "Hey, look at me!" L.E.D. that lecturers everywhere have come to love when it's on their presentation (and loathe when it's on their faces), but it also has a USB flash drive and a ballpoint pen. So users have everything they need to do their presentations, and then go fight crime or whatever. For more information, visit www.alpecpromo.com.
BEST DESKMATE
Never calls in sick. Never takes a vacation. Never gets tired. Never feels overworked. Never steals your hummus out of the communal fridge. Or leaves passive-aggressive notes. Or calls a meeting to schedule another, different meeting. Or talks too loudly on the phone. Logomark's 3-in-1 Desk Tool would never do that! It will not only clean your keyboard, but it also will dust your computer monitor and open your letters. For more information, visit www.logomark.com.
DON'T SCRATCH THE SURFACE
Having a case that protects without adding bulk and includes a stand may seem like a lot to ask, but Gemline's Ultra-thin iPad Sleeve with Stand covers all the bases. It includes a scratch-resistant lining, a quick-access opening and a removable folding stand in the rear pocket. The 8x10" sleeve is compatible with the iPad 2, new iPad and iPad mini. Color options include apple green, black, royal blue, plum, Santa Fe red and turquoise. For more information, visit www.gemline.com.
NOT JUST EAR BUDS ... EAR BFFS
You guys will go everywhere together, just you wait and see. Running in the park, doing some light errands at Home Depot, dodging people you don't want to talk to—it's all possible with the Storm Customized Earbud Kit from Spector & Co. The silicone accent on either side is completely customizable with a maximum of five PMS colors (unlike your human best friend). For more information, visit www.spectorandco.com.
