Using the iPad to Pick Up Contacts

In my soon to be bestselling book "The Pick Up Artist: Business Edition", I talk about importance of props. A prop is anything that draws attention to you and starts a conversation. I used my Macbook Air, kindle and of course my green glasses. The props work great but only if they are in plain sight. That is why my green glasses work so great. I have received compliments for them all across the country. I further us them as predominately in my avatar and use the color for my iPhone case and other apparel at the same time. Yes the glasses work great but I need other props to keep it fresh.

The iPad is the latest in great props. I recently had one at a get together of father and sons. I didn't even take it out of the pouch and became the center of the conversation for the next 2 hours. My other thoughts are to carry it around with an enlarged version of my business card showing or a presentation deck running on it. That surely will stir up some conversations. I am in the process of developing some new consumer products for Treeno Software on the iPad. This will become an even more intimate pick up technique as many will want to see what I have done and dream up their own app. It may be expensive but you have to look at it as part of your advertising budget.

Props are wonderful pick up tools. Tell me what your favorite prop is and how you have used it effectively.
