THE MINI HOMEPLUG Another great idea from Johnson’s Electrics.
HomePlugs became popular in 2009. In that year, we sold over 80,000, compared to only 300 the
year before. The total number sold in the world in 2009 was over a million.
Here’s why they were so successful.
Dear Sir/Madam,
I bought one of your HomePlugs last month. It’s amazing. I’ve got my home computer
and Internet connection in my bedroom but I also have a laptop and like using it in the
kitchen when I am cooking. Before I bought the HomePlug, my wi-fi Internet wasn’t very
good. The Internet was very slow in the kitchen and often went off completely. I like
listening to Internet radio when I cook but the radio kept stopping. It was very annoying.
Now, I can use my laptop anywhere in the house and the connection is always quick and
never goes off.
Thank you for such a great product!
C. Davies, Leeds.
For those of you who don’t know what the HomePlug is, here’s how it works. It takes your
Internet connection and sends it through the electricity to the other rooms in your house, and
you can access the Internet in every room through wi-fi. The wi-fi works really quickly and you
can even use it in your garage or garden. You just need electricity and it doesn’t slow down the
Internet connection on your main computer at all. Not everyone was completely happy, though.
Dear Sir/Madam,
Your home plug is great but why does it cost so much? I paid €100 for two HomePlugs,
€50 each. It’s also very big and heavy. Can’t you make something smaller and cheaper?
B. McKenzie, Aberdeen
That’s why we are pleased to offer you the new Mini HomePlug. These new HomePlugs are just
3cm long and half a centimetre wide. Even better, they cost €20 for a packet of two. That’s just
€10 each! The electricity they use is also very little and costs less than €1 a month. You can also
choose different colours so that they look nice in every room. You can buy mini HomePlugs in
most computer shops and from our website. Buy one today!

5 You need a different Mini HomePlug for each room.
6 You don’t have to go to the shops to buy a Mini HomePlug.
