Wrapping it Up - Lift Mates Road Trip

After another full day of stops on Friday, we have brought our road trip to a close. All in, we gave out roughly 800 tools. Besides the memories and laughs, we have managed to spread the word on how amazing Lift Mates tools are.

We are looking forward to following up with all of the folks we met to hear their positive feedback on the tools.

Making Smiles with Lift Mates

By the end of the day Thursday, we had successfully delivered smiles across Missouri and Illinois. There was lots of excitement around the tools and it feels like we will have some new customers/distributors on board.

Even during our food & gas stops, Tom couldn't resist showing and giving out the Lift Mates tools.


From here it's lot of driving. We plan to spend the night in Terre Haute.

1 truck, 2 days, 3 men, 4 states, 1000's of Lift Mates

Inspired by the movie "Tommy Boy", we have decided to hit the road to tell the midwest about the Lift Mates tools. Mike, Uncle Tom, and Big Ben have packed 1000's of Solo Lifts and Dual Lifts into a U-haul and are going on a road trip.

Where are they going? We'll if you happen to be a Warehouse Manager or Storage Business Owner along route 70 East between St. Louis and Cincinnati you are likely to find us wandering into your business. Ready to lock the doors? Don't! We aren't selling anything. We are actually giving away tools by the case. We believe in the tools so much, that we are willing to give them away so you can try them before you buy them.

Stay tuned for more posts on our adventure.

South Pack Show 2009 - Day 2 - Lift Mates

Day 2 at South Pack was another busy day for us. We had many folks come back to the booth several times, each time bringing other friends or co-workers to see the demos. Around noon, we started giving out free samples of last year's tools. By the end of the day we had given out over 350 tools. We are hoping this will be a good way for folks to try the Solo Lift tools in their operation, before committing to a big purchase.

All in all, South Pack was a success for us. We have 100+ leads, made a few friends, and got a good work out lifting boxes for two days. :)

Lift Mates at South Pack - Day 1

We just finished up Day 1 of the 2009 South Pack show where the Lift Mates tools are being exhibited. The crowd overall was a little lighter this year, but the Lift Mates booth was packed as usual. We ended the day with 50+ new leads. These companies were eager to implement tools that could help their workers reduce back strain when working with boxes.

We also introduced an improvement to the Solo Lift Pro this year. We added a protective pad to the solo lift that helps to avoid potential injuries from the pin pads.

So far so good. We are looking forward to tomorrow.
