I am in need of some suggestions

Hello,

I am sending out press releases.

I was hoping some people can suggest some publications both hardcopy and online that I should send infromation to.

I am also trying to think of larger retailers that might be at the shotshow looking for product to send a press release to.

Thanks
Jon

jon in what regards for ya flashlights? im confused but im sure ya will do good ya are the sears of the flashlight world a place ya can trust

Yep,

I am going to try and mainstream some CPF creations. I had some press contact me about the Indium Smart so we now have a press release and I am going to use this opportunity to get some cpf creations seen outside of cpf.

I just need lots of places to send them too.

Thanks

How's about Popular Science, Popular Mechanics, The various men's magazines (I.E. Men's Journal, etc).

Then there's the varoius sites: www.thinkgeek.com, etc.

You could also send out to the various computer magazines, cnet, etc.

pop mechanics is cool

Maybe Popular Science/Mechanics? If they picked the Indum Smart as a new product of the year you'd sell a ton of them.

Thinkgeek.com is a good suggestion. For those across the pond, there's Iwantoneofthose.com

I'm thinking gun magazines (take your pick from many). Or how about Law Enforcement Technology / LE Product News http://www.officer.com/publication/pub.jsp?id=2
maybe some outdoor adventure magazines?

give jon good answer he is a great guy

Magazines - T3, GQ
Retailer - Sharper Image, Neiman Marcus (Christmas Catalog), Gadget Universe, Porsche (the retail stores)
Web/TV - CNET, TechTV/G4 (both are Ziff-Davis)

-LT

T3, then number one gadget magazine: http://www.t3.co.uk/

I'm thinking about some magazines...
- Popular Science / Popular Mechanics -- for PopSci you could get into the What's New section, and for PopMech... whatever their version of "What's New"
- Wired -- they featured a few flashlights in this month's issue, the SF E2e and Inova X0, I think. If you really get them interested, they might write about the flashlight community and your budding company.
- Cargo -- men's fashion magazine, features *very* expensive items, cars, clothes, computers, gadgets
- Sync -- a gadgets magazine, if you get the Smart into the magazine, it will likely be featured with half-naked women... good advertising IMO.

There are probably a lot of hobbyist magazines I missed, but I can't think of any off the top of my head.

As for websites... the very best idea I can think of is to get ThinkGeek.com interested -- they are a little overpriced but they offer what the customers want, nifty gadgets. A programmable flashlight will likely go over well with their customer base.

Hi,
I think one of the best way will also be to send this to Click (the new Click Online) program.

http://bbc.co.uk/click

http://bbcworld.com/click

In fact I am thinking of sending it for a Webscape Seciton of Click

(if it click's ... it will be a big time hit... i m sure)
