New Update 09/14/15

Monday Sept. 14th 2015




One of our sanctuary clients (or first the bat people) said they will try a Facebook BOOST. It is some program that boosts the ad or post on your facebook page. Not sure how it works but when she boosted the ad we have been swamped with orders the past few days far exceeding our anticipations. With 10 bats being case today (see lower image from the other day) and today even more wax bats were made early this AM for more castings.

--

While this is being done we are filling casino bar orders in our rental kitchen while I am here overseeing the bat production.

--

This newly formed company that was incorporated just last week is NOW PROFITABLE and officially in the BLACK! with $1000's sitting in our account having only $500 a month overhead with more sales coming in daily.

--

With the holidays coming the sanctuaries are using past data on items with similar prices to be in the 100s sold not just my low happy figure of just 10 per sanctuary each year but that now looks like those figures will jump to between 100 and 1000 each.

--

This program is totally different then what they have used in the past and even though our sales are low per sanctuary like the 10 I was only hoping for, that has been surpassed by a great deal and should be 1000% higher by next month. I went for worst case to be conservative with 10 sold by each sanctuary but that figure is no longer part of the equation as we have surpassed that in less than two months for each sanctuary we are working with.

--

The polar bear should also see even larger sales because of their fan base exceeds 25,000,000 over this bat sanctuary that has 140,000 fans and polar bears are endangered where as bats are not but people like them still. On a ratio of 100 bats per 140,000 (so far remember its only been 2 months) is 1/10th of 1% response which is so low, no one would compete with us making only so few pieces. Our success will be that we are doing this low volume using our ability to make custom pieces for no cost to the clients and free web pages for sales. At 1/10th of 1% for the polar bears 25,000,000 fans would equate to 25,000 pendants sold would be $2,000,000 in sales for just the polar bear.

--

This applies to all the wildlife im working on molds for. I posted a list so far but that list has gown quite a bit.

--

I was told by 8 sanctuaries that their fans love jewelry but what is available is mass produced charms that are small and mostly from China and not artsy or fun or substantial. PLUS no one will make a custom mold for FREE and a FREE web page and handle all the sales costing the sanctuary ZERO. With no minimums and no cost to them is key to this working and IT IS!!!

--

They cannot afford to purchase 500 cheap necklaces for $25 (they are really small and cheap looking) and shell out $13,000 then have to oversee shipping and communicating with buyers when they are busy with caring for wildlife. We do it all NO CHARGE!

--

Our OWL rescue client was robbed and the thieves took electronic devices they need to care for injured owls and stuff from their retail store. They opted out for the free web page because they have their own website for merchandise and a retail store. I decided to help them by sending them silver owls FREE and they can pay when they sell and keep their % plus $15 extra from our % to help get the place back on track and we still will hold an attractive net after those costs and a way to show we want to help.

--

I should have 250 web pages set up with sales from each topping 100 pieces during 2016 and so far in just a month and a week since incorporating we again are in the BLACK with adequate CASH on hand after all costs. The bulk of those sales will be paid to GNGR the public company for the licensing agreement with the remainder of the cash on hand to expand the casting company.

--

Once the casting company achieves $250,000 in NET profits which looks to happen sooner then planned over 2016 we will elect to possibly merge the company into GNGR wholly. $250,000 Net equates to only 100 pieces at $80 with a net of $40 after all costs is $4000 per client sanctuary x 250 is actually $1,000,000 but again im using a low conservative of 25 per client sold. Just the polar bear can exceed $2,000,000 which has already started. With the sculptures I am working on and what is made we are at 50+ and another 50+ by end of November.

--

Change can be good and this is not only HUGE but to be in the BLACK in less then a month with LOTS of cash on hand was unexpected when compared to the growing pains with confections. As mentioned that I would give GNGR 10 years to make the chocolate work very well and it has kept us alive for 8+ years but this stumbling from Silver coins with fudge to zombie brains from chocolate to silver was novelty that is now MAINSTREAM. Just like WRIGLEYS (see the article on this website) a small change can be bigger than expected and I was surprised we have exceed our estimates.
