			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The SWBN was well represented this weekend at Ed Dale&#8217;s 30DC Coming home seminar in Melbourne. I wanted to make sure that every woman at that conferences got a gift and a small pitch about the SWBN so I thought hard about what would be cool and accepted by every woman there.</p>
<ul>
<li>it had to be small so that people flying would not be burdened. Ruled out books, diaries and other bulky goods</li>
<li>had to be branded with our logo</li>
<li>had to showcase what we do for those who were unfamiliar with our work</li>
<li>had to be cost effective &#8211; balance between cost and ROI</li>
<li>had to be something that lasted</li>
<li>had to be something useful</li>
<li>had to be a unique statement</li>
</ul>
<p><a href="http://www.swbnetwork.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/30dchome-swbn-gift1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2963" title="30dchome swbn gift" src="http://www.swbnetwork.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/30dchome-swbn-gift1.jpg" alt="30dchome swbn gift" width="500" height="209" /></a></p>
<p>I then programmed a splash screen and menu screen to play the podcasts and open the information contained on the USB stick</p>
<p><a href="http://www.swbnetwork.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/30dchome-swbn-gift-splash.gif"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2964" title="30dchome swbn gift splash" src="http://www.swbnetwork.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/30dchome-swbn-gift-splash.gif" alt="30dchome swbn gift splash" width="500" height="334" /></a></p>
<p>The price I paid was ridiculously cheap (cheaper than you can get from any supplier in the USA) and ridiculously easy to organise. I am pretty sure if I was going for our keywords in PPC advertising I would have spent MORE per click than I paid for each one of these gorgeous gifts.</p>
<p>If you are not promoting your online business offline (Talk to <a href="http://www.preneurmarketing.com/" target="_blank">Pete Williams</a> about going analogue, he presented at the conference about these strategies) then you are wasting precious opportunities.</p>
<p>I was asked by several people who I got them through, and I am very happy to recommend Kevin from Tonpha (see details below). Super fast and great customer service.</p>
