The dust has finally settled and it’s time to sit back, relax (not for long), and talk about Think NB. For those that don’t know, Think NB is a great New Brunswick trade show that showcases the best emerging technologies and companies in the province.
For a company like ours, it was a great chance to put on some name tags, shake some hands, and get the word out about KinekPoint.
We knew people would be interested in the service but, to be honest, even we were surprised by how excited people were when they found out what KinekPoint was all about. When we asked people if they had ever had a problem missing a delivery for something they had bought online, almost EVERYONE had a story to tell (the only exception was one lone woman who worked from home and didn’t leave the house between nine and five). One poor guy had to drive 35 minutes to a courier depot every time he missed a delivery (we started working out the mileage and cost in gas but were worried about depressing him).
The most common question of the day was “how soon will this be in my area?”, which put a huge smile on our faces. We urged everyone to use the suggest a depot feature on the site and assured them that we’d contact the businesses they suggested.
Global Television and News 88.9 stopped by the booth for interviews which was quite exciting (and would have been even more exciting had just one of us gotten home in time to tape).
All in all, the trade show was a great success. Big thanks to the sponsors and the Board of Trade. We hope to see you all again next year!

Thanks for letting me spend some time at the booth during Think NB. I've always had faith in the product, but getting to talk to people and hearing them say how excited they were about the service was incredibly rewarding - it's nice to be part of something that so many people are excited about.
