Talking Mini Founder Kelly Kleinman poses with Tommy Lasorda during contract negotiations. Kleinman still thinks he’s a prospect but Tommy thinks he’s a suspect.

The Talking Mini Company was created by Kelly Kleinman in July of 2002 and has quickly grown into the most unique collectible company on the block. Sports Illustrated.com ranked us as the “Best Promotion of the Year” for the Dodger’s Fernando Valenzuela promotion on September 16th of 2004.

2006 brought a major promotion with Sony and the Wheel of Fortune. On average the Talking Mini lasts over 500 pushes easily. If 50,000 people have one and push the button on average 100 times, that adds up to 5 million mini-commercials for the Wheel of Fortune or whatever product the Talking Mini represents.

In just our first year of operation the Talking Mini was picked as the official promotional premium for the International blockbuster “T-3 Rise of the Machines”. In that same year on July 22nd, 2003, twenty thousand lucky fans went home with a Tommy Lasorda Talking Mini. According to one Dodger merchandising executive the Talking Mini received more free publicity than any other giveaway he had experienced.

Talking Mini and its high quality audio system offer a combination of creativity and total originality to the retail collectible market. NASCAR and baseball legends Tony Stewart, Joe Gibb’s racing cars #18 and #20, Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig are now available for retail.

Talking Mini has appeared with Tony Danza on the Pat Sajak Show, Regis and Kelly, and the Jimmy Kimmel Show (see www.talkingmini.com for video stream) two local network sports reports, and was featured in both LA sports sections in the space of three days!

Talking Mini can also be used to accessorize existing product lines as a “Gift with Purchase”, to enhance the value CD/DVD releases or clothing lines represented by artists and/or characters. Having a trade show, this is a “can’t miss” promotional tool for charities, special events and causes.

Talking Mini is a product category all unto itself as there are presently no other companies making this product. At a suggested retail price of $5.99-$6.99 it promises to fly off of the shelves as it has at Dodger stadium and various shops in Cooperstown N.Y. and assorted team shops throughout professional baseball. Countertop and power panel displays are available as well.
