Start-up
capital, of course, will be the first resource needed in order to establish the FI
organization. My philosophy is, instead of begging people to give
you money, and being on your knees,
sell
them something and earn
the money—standing on your feet!
That being the case, my first product offering is the Black History Writing Paper CD-ROM, 2nd edition.
This CD contains 100 Black historical-subjects that are significant, yet
under-publicized. When printed out, these appear in column form down the left
side of your stationery or writing paper so that, after readers read the message
you write them, they can turn to the left and learn something about Black
history that they probably never knew before. Not
more than 3,000 of these disks will be sold.
To purchase and/or sell this CD, visit www.adspread.com/fi.htm.
After sufficient capital has been raised from this CD, FI
T-Shirts and caps will be sold until enough capital is accumulated to finally
formally establish the FI
organization.
These will be produced by Black-owned production and made from high-quality material. The "FI" logo will be embroidered in expensive gold thread or will be metallic-like. All interested parties will be notified of actual materials. Besides these, there are water bottles, backpacks, and other items that could bear the logo.
Sign up now to be notified when the T-shirt and cap will be available by e-mailing your name, contact info, and your shirt and cap sizes to blackindustry@excite.com.
Joint-Advertising:
An
advertising strategy I wish to employ is to find “joint
advertisers”—advertisers who will go in with me to place large-size ads in
publications—such as Black
Enterprise
or Ebony
or Jet.
The ads would lead to a Web page that I would host. And, in exchange for the contributions of the fellow advertisers, their large-size banners would be displayed on said page. Contact me if you think you may be interested: blackindustry@excite.com.
Other
Ways You Can Contribute:
Sign up for a Business or Personal Mall at My Power Mall.
Finally, tell others--who are sympathetic to the cause of Black Advancement--about the FI project. Especially emphasize that they sign up to participate by completing the FI Participation Form either for consideration of Partnership/Administrative positions, to become a participating industrialist, to register as an inventor or creator, or to register as a future FI consumer.
