Can you imagine driving down the road and you see a sign that says, “Goats on the Roof”. As you look closer at the gift shop adjacent to the road, you see there are goats on the roof. Not just one goat but several goats. Recently my family and I were on a trip to the Dillard House in N Georgia and were so excited to see the goats on the roof that we had to stop to feed them and take pictures.
My name is Roni and I work with Wi-Ex. I am the person collecting the zBoost testimonial stories that we are sharing on our new zBoost blog. Our customers have numerous stories which include unique zboost locations, creative installation tips and funny ways they tried to improve their cell phone signal before purchasing a zBoost. Every Tuesday we will be sharing one of our customer stories with you and from time to time we will include one of our own stories too. The people at Wi-Ex are passionate about their cell phones and getting a good signal wherever they may be. If you have a story you would like to share, please send it to rpridemore@wi-ex.com
Back to…”Goats on the Roof”. After we took our pictures feeding the goats with several different contraptions and drank hot chocolate by the fire, I had to call my sister in Ohio and tell her all about it. Well unfortunately, there was no cell phone signal. I have an iPhone and there was no 3G, no EDGE, basically no bars at all. I was disappointed and then remembered we had the zBoost car unit. Not only could I call my sister but I could email her the same pictures you are looking at today. She shared them with her kids and even though they are 700 miles away it was like we were all there, feeding the goats together.

Installation Tip: At the time, we were just trying out the zBoost Car Unit so we did a quick and easy installation. Basically, we stuck the magnetic antenna on the car roof, ran the wire through the door to the zBoost unit and plugged it into the cigarette lighter. For a more permanent installation you would want to take the time to hide the wires.
This summer, money is tight for many of us, but there are so many fun things to do close to home. For my family “Goats on the Roof” was less than 2 hours from our home and though it wasn’t our ultimate destination, it was the most memorable part of the trip and it was free. You may not live near “Goats on the Roof” but I know there is something equally as unique in your part of the country. In the mean time, the 5th annual Great American Backyard Campout (www.nwf.org/BackyardCampout) is this Saturday June 27th. Dig out those old sleeping bags, borrow a tent from a neighbor and join in the fun. I would love to see pictures of your family’s campout.
Next week the featured zBoost product will be in a cabin in northern Michigan.
Happy Summer, from your friends at Wi-Ex!
