Robin Williams, Picture Button Phones, and Vitamin D . . .

It was with sadness we witnessed the news of the passing of Robin Williams.  It seems most people felt they knew the funny man through his movies.  The sad part of all this is the fact that this hilarious man had so much internal pain and grief.  He seemed to have voids created by his sadness, but perhaps he lived, filled those voids, and became happy by making others laugh.  Though his passing is very sad, there is some consolation in the knowledge that he lived a part of his laugh in order to make others happy.  There is a lesson we can learn from this sad event; we must do all we can to live for others, but also take care to make sure we get any help we may need.  Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.

I was perusing many of the picture button phones on the market and I had some thoughts.  First off, it is good that there are more and more of these phone coming on the market.  There is a great need for them.  Another thought was, of course, I believe we have the best version that fits all the criteria our customers need.  For example, among many other benefits, the FotoDialer: will not lose your numbers if the power goes out, the pictures are much larger on FotoDialer, many more numbers can be programmed in, it has Pause Dialing (programming in pauses into a sequence of numbers), it is mobile (can be connected to different analog phone lines), you don't need to use a computer to set things up, it is simple and durable, and it costs less than most other options. 

An article I read recently said lower levels of Vitamin D may contribute to a higher risk of getting Alzheimer's disease of other forms of dementia.  So, get some sun, eat healthy, and make sure you get the vitamins and minerals your body and mind need!  The article can be read HERE.

Thank you for reading and remember to pass on a link to FotoDialer to your family and friends!  You can do so HERE!

Pass It On!

There are a wide range of ways companies market their products or services.  Commercials enlist actors declaring how much they love such and such product they have never used or some NBA basketball star is paid to say how often they dine at the greasy fast food restaurant we are sure they do not frequent.  Other sources are billboards, radio ads, ads in the mail or newspaper, online ads, etc.  Sometimes we even see marketing (good or bad) in online comments people make. 

Though these methods are diverse and useful in their own way, we think the best method is by word of mouth.  The reasons?  Credibility, trust, comfort, accountability, and a host of other reasons.  Those people we usually receive word of mouth referrals from are those we know, trust, and care about.  We often see them as credible and trustworthy and the referrals they give can be given in a comforting and non-threatening atmosphere.  Accountability by them and us after we have used a certain product or service may be one of the biggest reasons word of mouth referrals are so useful.  We know deep down if we give or receive a sub-par referral we can lose credibility and trust.  We also want those we care about to give or receive the best. 
We hope that those who have bought or heard of FotoDialer will feel to pass it on!  Share your great experiences with others online or in person.  Help us use the best and most credible way to market: word of mouth!

Another Time for Mourning-Cody

Some months back, I wrote about the loss of our Electrical Engineer, John, to cancer.  We have now lost someone else who is very special to us.  On our website's, "Description" page (and "'Foto' Gallery" page) there is a picture of a young man with Down Syndrome.  His name is Cody and he recently passed away.  He and his wonderful family were kind enough to allow us to take photos of him using FotoDialer for our website and for marketing materials.  Cody is not only special to us because of his help, but he is also a relative to some of us at IntelliSolve and The Vision Group.  He is my second cousin and has always been the excitement at any family gathering.  It was with great sadness we received the news of his passing, yet we know he is with God now and free of this life's pain.  Should more of us display Cody's love, zest for life, and devotion to family, this life would be so much better.  We would be more trusting of one another and be more willing to lend a helping hand to our neighbors.  We wouldn't search for ulterior motives as the reason someone aided us, but would see them as just helping out.  

Cody loved and was loved in return.  May we see his life as an example for us to follow.

Cody's pictures are HERE or HERE.

Thanksgiving, Cyber Monday, and Other Thoughts

G.B. Stern said, "Silent gratitude isn't much use to anyone." So, we will take this opportunity to thank those who have purchased FotoDialer and for those who voted for FotoDialer in Walmart's, "Get on the Shelf" competition.

I have observed gratitude is one of the best ways to be happy. In the spirit of Thanksgiving and the holiday season, we wanted to share a few quotes about gratitude:

"God gave you a gift of 86,400 seconds today. Have you used one to say 'thank you?'"

-William A. Ward

"If a fellow isn't thankful for what he's got, he isn't likely to be thankful for what he's going to get."

-Frank A. Clark

"He is wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has."

-Epictetus

"The struggle ends when the gratitude begins."

-Neale Donald Walsch

"If you want to turn your life around, try thankfulness. It will change your life mightily."

-Gerald Good

We hope you enjoy Cyber Monday, but that you remember gratitude, not for material things and stuff, but for beauty, freedom, and for those good people in your life.

Get on the Shelf Competition

Last year, we entered the Get on the Shelf competition put on by Walmart.  This competition enables the winner to have their product sold on walmart.com or even in their stores.  It was a good experience before so we thought we would try it again this year.  Last time, we submitted two videos into one that showed the elderly using FotoDialer.  We decided to use a video of a child using FotoDialer this year.  I don't have a link to our submission yet, but here are four FotoDialer videos you can view that show FotoDialer:

We used THIS VIDEO last year. 
This VIDEO is of the elderly using FotoDialer.
Here is the VIDEO we submitted for the Get on the Shelf competition.
This is another VIDEO showing a child using FotoDialer in an emergency.

Make it a great day!
