Re: Skip's Auto Accident Kits

them and made changes as I went.

Talking to the business owners gave me my breakthrough.
They were in different but related businesses. They knew
each other and had their favorites (very important).

And, they shared the same target market.

Bang! The light went on. I had my "Don Alm Moment".

I could make more money, 2 to 3 times as much by giving the
kits away, rather than selling them directly.

From there it was just a case of lining up the advertisers
which the host business was happy to help with.

Initially I put a label for the advertisers on the other side.
Then I changed that to one label, with the host business and the
ads around the outside. Ads and host business info went on the forms
inside as well.

I don't know much about chargers or apps., but I'm sure the concept
could use some updating.

This is how I would try it:

*Clear ziplock bag labeled with a 4x5 label, designed for the biz owner with picture/phone on it
*A 5.5x8.5 8 page brochure included, 6 1/2 page color ads with coupons, 4 1/4 page ads on back side
*Include 3 articles on what to do in case of accident in brochure
*The SR 1 form from DMV included outside of brochure (California)
*Mini notepad
*Ink pen
*Cordless USB Universal car charger

Sell 100 units for $5 each unit

Sell the ads for 2.500 units at $225/$125 for the smaller ones, total of 10 advertisers, approx $2,000 for all 10 ads combined.

Now, you are suggesting to GIVE the kits away? AND make 2-3 times more profit? Can you explain?

I am very familiar with Don Alm btw,

Thanks in advance, Eva
