SOME OF THE USES FOR TALKIE TAPES®

TALKIE TAPES® Make things speak for themselves.

Reproduced TALK can be LOUDER than normal conversation! Inexpensive - a positive attention getter and recipient will invariably show it to others increasing your exposure per unit just because it TALKS!

ALWAYS attach the Talkie© to something light that will resonate and act like a speaker. ALWAYS show prominently in the printed copy, exactly what the Talkie Tape® will say. ALWAYS TELL THE LISTENER WHAT THE TAPE WILL SAY - THIS CONDITIONS THE LISTENER TO HEAR THE MESSAGE, AND THEY'LL UNDERSTAND IT EVERY TIME.

ALWAYS say the message first - NEVER say, "listen to this."

Check this partial list of uses, to make things TALK.

1. TALKING BOXES - Cardboard, wood, plastic, metal, corrugated, filled or empty - for advertising and sales promotions, replicas of products, novelty, humorous, special, personalized with TALK to match the printing. Folding boxes make good mail order items.

2. TALKING CARDS - Greeting, business, advertising, personalized, announcements, party place cards, comic, cut-outs, anniversary, birthday, Get Well, give away, etc. Just add a Talkie Tape®.

3. TALKING LETTERS - Sales promotion, announcements, personal, humorous, easily prepared, mail safely in any envelope * can be mailed in printed envelope stating the letter enclosed TALKS, right HERE, right NOW!

4. TALKING CUT-OUTS - TALKING CHARACTERS, can be printed on product package for push-out use, stand up, hang up, a sticker on a box can be cut out by purchaser to speak a message, a cut-out Santa becomes a TALKING SANTA! An ideal mail order item with printed envelope saying there is a TALKING CHARACTER INSIDE!

5. TALKING CUPS & BOTTLES - Paper, plastic, metal, or ??? Cups reproduce louder than normal conversation, the cup focuses the sound like a megaphone. Talkie Tapes™ used with empty beverage cups or bottles makes a great give away item - Additional coverage per unit if Talkie Tape message is one with catchy phrase, rather than just the name of the product!!! A promotion using locally purchased cups is possible or sold as a package.

--YA OUTTA HEAR A MILK BOTTLE TALK!!--

6. TALKING PICTURES, PHOTOS - Pictures of products, people, groups, etc., with a Talkie Tape™ attached, makes them TALKING PICTURES! A personal recording can be made by an individual and with the Talkie Tape™ attached - the person TALKS to you in his own voice (rather expensive though).

7. TALKING BALLOONS® and INFLATABLES - Any inflated object will TALK with a Talkie Tape™ attached to it with a piece of adhesive tape or sticker - any shape, any size, any material - a Santa balloon becomes a TALKING SANTA - ideal inexpensive promotion to increase store traffic or for sale. An 18 inch mylar balloon with a tape is extremely loud.

8. TALKING STICKERS - (with Talkie Tape®) - Printed or plain stickers make any of the items listed above TALK. A Santa sticker on any card or box, makes it a TALKING SANTA - can be applied to regular greeting cards, pictures, photos, etc. to make 'em TALK.

9. CUSTOMER PURCHASED ITEMS - With an assortment Talkie Tapes® and a label or sticky tape you can make almost any purchased item TALK.

10. HUMOROUS or COMIC TALKING CARDS - to give various SPOKEN answers to questions asked on the front of the card or other item. For instance: Card face What's your sign - Inside face: the answer printed and the Talkie Tape™ says: I'm A Jackass.

11. TALKIE TAPES® ONLY - Perfect Stereophonic Reproduction of the recorded message is obtained by holding the pointed end of the Talkie Tape® between your teeth & sliding the thumbnail along the Talkie Tape® - the message is heard in BOTH EARS - and it is SECRET - no one else can hear it - boy to girl messages like, I Love You, You Turn Me On, etc., etc., can be very entertaining for young or old.

This is just a partial list of applications that have worked. Try any ideas you have - if they work - that's great!! We will be glad to give you any technical and other advice about our Talkie Tapes® - free of course. Fast reproduction of message results in a high pitched voice - slow results in lower pitched voice. Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the tape.

Talkie Tapes® will play THOUSANDS of times - your thumbnail will wear out before they will! The material is non-toxic with a shelf life and useful life of over 20 years. They must be attached to something to talk out loud.
