Shh ... don't tell anyone. Compared to other indoor advertising, placing your ad on a storyPanel is a steal. According to national advertising rates listed by the Indoor Billboard Advertsing Association (IBBA), we don't charge enough. In fact, advertsing on a storyPanel gives you MORE ad space AND costs LESS than the national average. Way less. But that's ok. We figure your business is like ours: these days you have to offer and get the best deals you can. We're confident storyPanel advertising is a deal you won't want to pass up. Where do other indoor advertisers place their displays? Well ... when the IBBA says indoor advertising they're talking about placing ads in restrooms. Now we're not saying that doesn't make sense, but we've got a different idea. We designed storyPanel displays to use very little floor space. And because of that, our business partners place them in the middle of traffic ... not behind closed doors ...]]> http://theideamechanic.com/storypanels-advertise/feed/ 0 storyPanels™http://theideamechanic.com/storypanels/ http://theideamechanic.com/storypanels/#comments Thu, 01 Sep 2011 18:00:52 +0000 Doug Foster http://theideamechanic.com/?p=5611 Thumbnail image for storyPanels™

storyPanels give you a simple, affordable, and elegant way to frame your corporate or personal stories. Each storyPanel is an 18" square frame of polished aluminum and clear acrylic. Place pictures, words, video – or anything you can imagine – into a storyPanel and watch it come to life! (View or download ↓ our brochure.) You have a story to tell ... and it deserves to be framed. It's your story - it's unique and it's relevant. It could be a personal story or the story of your business. Just like family pictures on a desk or wall, show your story is important ... frame it well. storyPanels can help tell YOUR story ...]]> http://theideamechanic.com/storypanels/feed/ 0 The Short Story on storySites™http://theideamechanic.com/storysites/ http://theideamechanic.com/storysites/#comments Wed, 19 Jan 2011 15:25:25 +0000 Doug Foster http://theideamechanic.com/?p=5608 Thumbnail image for The Short Story on storySites™

Ideally everyone in business could use a dedicated sales staff. Unfortunately, maintaining a strong sales staff can cost serious MONEY.

Here's an idea. Wouldn't it be nice if you could both afford sales help AND keep them working 24 hours a day, 365 days a year? Sure it would.

A storySite is an Internet based, storytelling engine. We believe in the power of using Short Stories that Sell™. Stories capture our attention. They fascinate us. They make us human. And they can sell.

You don't need to be a computer guru to run a storySite. Simple to operate, you stay focused on what's important – telling your story and your customer success stories. Want to see a storySite in action? You're on one – theideamechanic – or checkout Touchstone3d ...
