For those that know me, I have a bit of a domain name addiction. I think it reached its’ peak of insanity when I purchased the domain blake-is-the-new-sanjaya.com (true story) a few years back when Sanjaya was voted off ‘American Idol’ and hack Blake was deemed the next in line Howard Sterns’ goal to inspire enough people to vote a talentless dweeb to the top spot.
I’ve struggled to hold my personal obsession with URL’s back, but I think we got a bit lucky when, back in April 2009, we registered the iPad repair domain names ipad-repair.com and ipadrepair.com. Since we are going to be hard-core in the iPad repair business, having domain names that say what we do will be most helpful to Milliamp LTD:
Two New iPad Repair Domain Names
For now, these two sites aren’t doing a whole heck of a lot for us, but they will eventually become a great resource for our future customers seeking iPad repairs and parts.
Now, who has any suggestions for helping us monitize our leet-inspired domain names for Twitter?
Have a great evening,
Anthony Magnabosco, Owner

P.S. We had two GOLD iPhone backplate winners this week – one worker here at Milliamp LTD and one iPhone fanatic from Alaska. More details on this coming soon!

It takes a lot of effort to develop a great brand and reputation for your iPod repair business. Sometimes, it takes years. But we try to do lots of things to help get the milliamp.com name in front of people who suddenly need Apple iPod repairs and Apple iPhone repairs. We tweet, our pages show up when someone “bings” or “googles’ us, and we get a lot of referrals from the AT&T shops and Apple stores.
One other way we plan to help promote our business is to include a removable sticker or pad with our milliamp.com logo on the back of every iPod and iPhone we repair. The idea here is that people with iPods and iPhones know other people with iPods and iPhones, and we can use their assistance in getting our name out there.
We are still beta testing the designs and materials and sizes, but we have it narrowed down to either a vinyl sticker that can get removed easily and a small patch that magically adheres to the surface of an iPod or iPhone with a front face that is perfect for cleaning the smudges from the front of the device. I particularly like the latter since design since its’ functionality (cleaning the screen) should give it longer life and thus, help promote the brand for a longer period of time.
Little Sticker Could Make Big Impact
What other clever ways can we use to promote the milliamp.com brand name? Shoot me an email to owner@milliamp.com or give me a telephone call and let’s discuss!

Having finished a great strategy session for milliamp.com in 2010, I found myself thinking about how far this company has come in the five years we have been fixing iPods and iPhones and offering do-it-yourself iPod battery kits. Over the years, I have had the opportunity to work with some great people (and others who have challenged the sh!t out of me!), but the goal from the very very very beginning has been to provide exceptional customer service to those who have encountered unexpected issues with their Apple iPod or iPhone.
At the same time, one of my personal goals this new year is to convert all the aging DV tapes we have of the kids to digital media – something I have wanted to do for years, but as anyone that has kids knows, lots of things get put off for more pressing matters. On one of the videos, I came across a fleeting glance of the area of our house where I started this business oh so long ago:
While I cannot say that I never thought we would grow as big as we have (currently hovering around the 20 employee mark), I am constantly amazed at our growth, and the hard-working people that make up our fine company. For those that are not in the repair business, you have to work very hard to gain people’s trust, and work even harder to provide them with excellent products and services. And if you fall short in either of these two areas, your customers will let you (and others) know about it faster than you can say ‘complaint department’.
Well, we have come a long way from that card table, and if you haven’t see this already, here is a great video that shows our operation as a device moves through our repair facility as it looks now:
Hope you enjoyed the videos, and thanks for helping me reminisce!

I just finished being interviewed by the three amigos over at buymeaniphone.com – and it was LIVE, no less! The interview was conducted on Saturday at 10pm CST, which is a bit late for me, but more conducive to the primarily West-Coast-based viewers. No matter – the interview was really fun to do and hopefully informative for their listeners.
I was actually sitting in our iPod/iPhone repair waiting room when the interview was conducted, the same place where customers can sit while we knock out their repairs, or where they can place an order with one of our friendly staff members.
Both the interviewers (Tom, Omar, and Ryan) asked great questions about milliamp.com’s iPod touch and iPhone repair business, and there was even a live chat with questions from their audience slipped in questions as well.
The guys were even generous enough to allow me to work in a great big announcement about a recent milestone of ours. It is based on the total number of customers we have had so far, and whoever participates in the offer will get a cool gift for their iPhone 3G or 3GS – it is a $70 value – for free!
If you want to know what that offer is, you will just have to pull up the video: http://www.milliamp.com/contact-the-owner.html
After they were done interviewing me, they guys discussed a wide variety of other topics, occasionally interrupted by asking their audience questions that were related to my interview. It was cool seeing how many people actually watched the interview and how many people remembered what they just watched. The winners of the interview trivia questions were then given special coupon codes that only could be used by the winner.
P.S. Ever heard of stickam.com? Stickam rocks!
Tom, Omar, and Ryan Work the Lines

milliamp.com Love the Labor Day Slam
We have been incredibly fortunate over these past few days after the holiday Labor Day weekend – it is as if everyone was discussing how the get the
iPod problems fixed, and then headed right over to milliamp.com to get their ipod or iphone evaluated so they could see what might be causing their beloved device from working properly.
It’s been a mad rush of people coming and going, too. Lots of new hires, and a few others moving on to bigger and better things.
What a dynamic, exciting, challenging, business this iPod repair business is!
- Anthony
