Turbospoke has gained even more airtime in it's home country Ireland this week by being featured on the hugely popular Daily Show on RTE One.
The coverage was excellent for Turbospoke and combined with this they ran a competiton for 20 lucky winners through their Facebook page which received an amazing response.
The footage can be seen below.
Turbospoke has been featured on one of Ireland's most popular mid morning radio shows, the Tom Dunne show on Newstalk radio. On Thursday the 24th November Turbospoke inventor Tom Maxwell was interviewed live on national radio by Tom Dunne. The interview covered the background Turbospokes inception and how the idea has grown into the product that it is today, on sale in more than 10 countries worldwide including the USA & Canada where it is selling out in the lead up to Christmas.
The show is light and entertaining and provided amazing coverage for Turbospoke in its home market. The reaction from the listenership of the show was so overwhelming that the Turbospoke website actually crashed due to visitor volume!!
The entire piece is available to listen to here!
After the interview Tom Maxwell said this
"what an experience, to be interviewed on live radio is surreal. To know that hundreds of thousands of people are listening to what you are saying, but you can't see them is quite daunting, but Tom Dunne and his team are real professionals and put me very much at ease. The reaction to Turbospoke since the show aired has been nothing short of phenomenal!"
Here is the link to the Turbospoke coverage on the Newstalk website.
The Irish Daily Mail today ran a half page feature all about Turbospoke, it's creation and it's sales success around the world. Following a huge sales peak in the USA and closer to home in Ireland Turbospoke is appearing on Santa wish lists everywhere and this piece of coverage comes as a nice boost for an Irish start-up which is now selling internationally.
Here is the article in case you missed it.
A big thanks to Jennifer Bray at the Irish Daily Mail.
BikeRadar.com one of the UK's most current and influential cycling publications has featured Turbospoke in their new products section!
The article appeared this week and gives Turbospoke a great mention. Turbospoke appears alongside a number of other new products. Most of them are related to keeping you cycling in the winter months, by lighting your path, keeping you warm or keeping your bike in tip top condition. It doesn't quite say why or how Turbospoke will assist your winter cycling, but we think we've figured it out. It's awesome, it will encourage you to go out on your bike even if it's wet and cold and when you do start cycling you'll be having so much fun that you'll cycle faster, longer and ultimately stay fit in the long winter months. Simple!
Whatever the reason, we're very grateful for the coverage and the guys at Bike Radar for the great exposure.
