Today, as heaps of cool features are added to cell phones to appeal young people, who are deemed as the driving force of cell phone sales, another area of opportunity seems has been left abundantly unexplored — cell phones for seniors.

For this segment of users, it is the security and ease-of-use concerns that seem to overwhelm other bells and whistles which fascinate youngsters. Since elderly citizens aged 65 or above commonly suffer from mild visual, hearing or dexterity problems, it is important that the phone is easy to operate. Normally, cell phones for seniors feature large keypads, large fonts, louder speaker, GPS, and in most cases, a simple and comfortable design. Many phones have panic buttons which can be pre-programmed to automatically dial numbers of their holder’s family, assistant or emergency numbers such as 911. GPS capability can bring additional credit as it helps anxious family find their lost or disoriented seniors.

Also, many handset manufacturers offer zoom options that enlarge the display screen characters, and voice dialing functionality that provides more convenient using experience to senior users.

Cigarette lovers often find their cig lighters gone when they want a smoke. And sometimes, non-smokers are asked for a lighter when their friends lose their own. With the novel SB6309 lighter phone, people now have a backup, or a substitute for old lighters.

The built-in lighter lies at the back of the phone with a sliding protective cover. You slide the cover and stick a cigarette into the little glowing hole. Seconds later, you're puffing away. As this lighter does not run on the phone battery, even smoking one pack a day cannot get the phone out of power. But, be sure to slide the cover back to keep away from any fire danger.

The phone comes in a candy-bar design. It has a 2.4" LCD display, a 1.3 megapixel camera, Bluetooth, FM tuner, dual-SIM card slot, and supports 900/1800/850/1900 GSM. Its windproof design really cares for people working outdoors on windy days. What's more, this lighter is well working in high-altitude environments. It’s especially perfect for inhabitants in high-altitude areas, mountain hikers, or high-altitude adventurers who can't spend a single day without cigarettes. Now, with this phone people can enjoy smoke rings everywhere without carrying any cheap, small and old cigarette lighters on the move.

Labor Day is coming on Sept. 7th this year. Unofficially but traditionally, it's the celebration day for the end of summer. Most people prefer a beach party or backyard barbeque to enjoy the last few days of summer. Though shopping malls are making huge clearance promotions for Labor Day, small dealers can still find chance to harvest upon the beginning of the fall.

Labor Day is a time to relax. A sizzling barbecue in the company of family and friends is a best idea. For a backyard barbecue, you need to prepare grills, juicers, blenders, food and drink wares (not fragile for open air parties), and other cleaning tools.

If you want a beach party to enjoy the last few summer days in cool seawater, you may possibly need to prepare your swimwear, water play prop-ups, like inflatable water slides and boats. You could add much more fun to the grilling and eating at night, e.g. girls and boys can have fun playing ring torches giving out colorful laser light beams.

Apart from being a holiday, Labor Day denotes "beginnings". For students, it means getting back to school . New study supplies, classroom essentials, like notebooks, pens, folders and bags are badly needed. Brand new electronic gadgets are embracing a new hot wave. Computers, MP3 or MP4 players, cell phones, USB flash drives and more are back to compete. Dormitory life also needs a refresh with new bedding, storage solutions and so on. And don't forget, it's time for students to get back to their teams as well, so new sports shoes, jerseys, caps, musical instruments would see a boom of sales.

Labor Day is also a significant mark of the beginning of the cool and cold seasons in the north hemisphere. It's a very important time for women to keep fit. Rather than struggle to lose weight next spring, they have started to purchase home fitness equipment to keep fat off.

With so many opportunities, small dealers are quite likely to win the summer ending by finding great varieties of low-cost, high-value products, combining with smart selling ideas.
