What would you change about your cell phone plan?

Filed Under advertising, internet, marketing, question, technology | 7 Comments

I have found this really cool website that has been created  by a company in Canada that will be starting to provide cell phone plans. The way they have chosen to do their research is interesting - by opening up an online forum called “Wireless Soapbox” as a way for people to get their likes, dislikes and ideas concerning their current cell phone plan, and offer input as to what they would like to see in an ideal cell phone plan.

Think there’s a better way to do wireless?

Welcome to the Wireless Soapbox, a forum for people who believe that cellular can be done better. Have a complaint? Air it. Have an idea? Share it. Ask a question. Start a discussion. Whatever… it’s up to you. Choose a topic and get involved.

Whan an innovative way to do research! Essentially, their only expense was to create this website, it was advertised via ways of media interest, and pay a couple people to monitor it and BOOM - you have loads of free informtation coming at you right from the consumers themselves.

I, currently, have not yet contributed to it as I have not put a lot of thought towards what I like and don’t like about my cell phone plan. A popular topic I have noticed is the “system activation fee” and how people don’t like to see it on their bill every month, they would like to have it dissolved into their other fees. I agree with that one, I am charged $6.75 (or so) every month by my current provider, but that seems like something that should be included with my $25/month plan!

Would you contribute to this website (even if you aren’t Canadian) to get your ideas across? Canadians, this is your way to get the cell phone plan you really want. I am so intrigued to see what ideas and plans do come out of this Wireless Soapbox!

Joined the Wave of Bloggers at Entrecard

Filed Under advertising, marketing | 6 Comments

About a month or so ago I read an article somewhere about Entrecard, a sort-of business card feature for your blog. I also noticed the Entrecard widget on some big name blogs like Problogger and Tyler Cruz (I love his card!). But did I sign up? No…I put it off like the fantastic procrastinator that I am.

Then yesterday Darren interviewed the creator of Entrecard, Graham, giving him more great exposure and Darren’s stamp of approval, so to speak. At that point, it would have been stupid of me not to get FiveBlondes in on Entrecard, especially considering our re-launch at our new domain.

But we need a card…
