Thanks Roger
We call it the Smart Badge. It’s worn like a credential on a lanyard.
The “credential is a 4-color printed piece that holds a mini CD or Mini DVD.
This package can be used for conferences, sporting events, college freshmen orientation, public awareness events.
The contents of the disc are tailored to meet the needs of the end user with the idea of driving them to the “company website”..
Software installed on the disc allows you to track its use. So when the end user visits your destination web page, you can see how long they were there, how many pages they visited and how long they were on each page. This gives you a clear way to measure ROI. I can give you some more detailed info if you’d like.

A few things to consider before joining Smaller Indiana:

1. We want to know the real you...Please use your real name (first and last) when you sign up, or we cannot open your account

2. We want to know the real you...Please do NOT use your Smaller Indiana blog for blatant self promotion

3. We want to see your smiling face...Please do not use logos or commercial images for your profile photo

4. Events should be posted in the events calendar, not inside blog posts

5. Please do NOT post commercial video (demo reels), or Corporate Website promotions in your blog
