YouGetItBack works for Steve of The Hot Aisle

Started by Ewan · 9 months ago

The last time I bumped into Steve, founder of The Hot Aisle IT Operations news site, I noticed he had one of those YouGetItBack stickers on his Nokia N95 8GB.
Good thing he did. He left it in a taxi recently:

    I met the YouGetItBack guys earlier this year as part of Mobile Geeks of London 'On Tour' in Las Vegas, (they kindly sponsored the venue) - Glad to see their product still stands tall.

    Nice work

    Thanks for the mention Ewan - We were delighted Steve got his N95 back. We also have a new software service for smartphones ( including the N95) which brings the service to the next level- free trial at the moment. It works very well with the tags.http://www.yougetitback.com/moreInfoMobileETag

    We hope the tags and the new software gives you more peace of mind about our service.

    Hmm my keys and most of my expensive things have a Dymo label on it somewhere that says "Reward if found - [phonenumber]" and that didn't cost me a penny (well, someone bought the Dymo tape but it wasn't me!)

    It's a good idea, I just don't think it needs a company to do it.

    Dan,

    Cool idea, but the really neat thing about You Get It Back is that the phone number is a Free Fone with a 24 x 7 call center set up 100% to get stuff back. The power of the solution is that it just makes the being honest thing easy, free and painless. That is what gets You Get It Back to 75% return rate on labeled products. Worth every penny in my humble opinion.

    Staggering, but then I would say that having just got my phone back.

    Steve

    Hi Dan,
    The worry about having your number on your keys is that it isn't a major step to get your identity and possibly your address - there are lots of reverse look up services out there. If someone has your keys and your address that isn't a great place to be in.
    We find that good people are time poor and need a very simple fast way to report a find.
    Our tags give you complete anonymity as well as making it simple for the finder to return them.
