Mojo On !!
lol
One thing has changed..somebody bought some more ETIM today...
yeee hawwwww !!!
mailto:nickp@eternalimage.net
email him and ask. Let us know how things turned out.
We just came off a huge run. We closed down at 55.. Big deal..Who cares!! The sentiment this evening has suggested nothing of substance...All last week was great, whats changed... Nothing. Nothing has changed in reality. This is the same stock and same company it was last week...
EASY DOES IT!
Hi....lol
No worries here. We appreciate your contribution, please keep up the good work.
As far as someone selling their stock out of fear.. Thats not what is interpreted...We are adults here mostly (chuckle)..
The stock will do what it will do. When I can buy I buy, when it goes up, great...when it dips that what stocks do..
No worries mate!!
I see what your saying.. My question is what is the life span of a PR? Talking about instant gratification..geez....
We have had more PRs than any pink or at least in the top 10 or 20 pink sheet stocks. (my WAG)
The value of the information contained in the press releases have a greater significant impact on the growth stages for Eternal Image than is reflected in the short term price. In fact I will go as far as saying that this stock price is a little low as compared to other pinks I have purchased, a couple down days are expected and natural. IMO we have an 'orderly market' for a stock that could go much further north than the double zero's at any given time.
My opinion regarding the multitude of PR's in the past 6 months is that... where each PR has its individual value, it also goes to the fact that with each PR, the company is executing a business plan that when enough pieces come together, they break through the barriers and challenges they have previously faced and a whole new set of priorities surfaces. Now that the foundation has been established in each area of the EI business plan with regard to manufacturing and distribution then only leads the company to do business and provide good service in meeting the clients' needs. With these fundamentals in order the money will follow.

I have not been able to get a copy of the April issue yet. It is probably coming this week. Really looking forward to seeing the back cover of the Vatican Library Urn....
Publishing and back outside covers are my life...The back cover is known as a "premiun position" in the advertising world and usually brings a few more dollars for the position within the publication...
ikno.
Hello..
On that note, I emailed MLB and inquired.
will advise....when I get a response.
best..
ikno..
Sunday evening scan, this was a good read..
PS, thanks for doing a good job moderating this evening..

'Get into the Blue' advertising campaign celebrates Dodgers fans' loyalty
New Dodgers players express their excitement in additional spots
LOS ANGELES -- The Los Angeles Dodgers' 2007 'Get Into the Blue' advertising campaign launched across the Los Angeles DMA and includes television, radio, print, dodgers.com and outdoor components. The campaign is inspired by the devotion of Dodger fans and begins by introducing new Dodger players.
The first phase of TV ads connects fans to new players Jason Schmidt, Juan Pierre, Randy Wolf and Luis Gonzalez as they share their excitement about joining the Dodgers. The second phase, created by Young & Rubicam Brands and executed by Bounce Event Marketing in conjunction with the Dodgers, highlights how individual fans 'Get Into the Blue' in their own unique ways. These spots include "Foam Finger," "Nomar Van," and "Miracle Toast".
"The Dodgers have millions of fans, each with their own game day routine, favorite player and distinctive traditions," said Dodger Chief Operating Officer Marty Greenspun. "These new ads are a light-hearted tribute to them all."
The first of the 30-second spots, called "Foam Finger" captures a Dodger fanatic on game day with a foam finger on his hand going through his daily routines including: turning off the alarm clock, putting in a contact lens and shaving using the foam finger. "Miracle Toast" depicts a husband reverently focused on his piece of toast that carries a likeness of Jeff Kent. His wife stands unconvinced as the Kent image winks at her husband. The last ad "Nomar Van" uses a black-tie event as the backdrop. A van with a huge Nomar Garciaparra mural painted on it pulls up to the elegant setting as the parking valet stands mesmerized by his hero.
The Dodgers' integrated campaign also invests in non-traditional exposure via movie theatre, mall, coffee retail and milk partners. Dodger ads and content will be featured at Mann Theatres and Pacific Theatres through Screenvision and on plasma screens in Westfield Mall and Coffee Bean locations frequently visited by Dodger fans. For the first time, Dodger partner Alta Dena Dairy will place ticket ads on up to five million milk cartons in Southern California retailers. In addition, school milk cartons will feature Dodger players and carry educational messaging.
"Our goal was to reach out to our fans and recognize their dedication to the Dodgers using entertaining scenarios," said Greenspun. "The non-traditional elements that we have created with our partners will provide us with many more unique opportunities to reach fans old and new and encourage them to visit Dodger Stadium this season."
The outdoor campaign, which is a visual display of players, Dodger Stadium, true-blue fans and other elements that highlight the Dodger experience can be seen on billboards, bus backs and cabs throughout the region. Designed by Young & Rubicam Brands, the outdoor ad component will continue into the season.

Owning ETIM STOCK... Priceless....lol
What if they had the caskets and a suppply of the emblems and just pop them on the casket. Then the MLB team emblems or plaques could be mounted at the local level. I do however beleive their is a waiting period because each plaque prior to mounting on the casket would need to have the deceased's name and statement added. Each one will be a little different..We need clarification. I beleive the distributors will be responsible for figuring it out.
just a thought..
not to be funny, but..
Eternal Image, founded in 2002, is headquartered in Farmington Hills, MI. The company is the first and only manufacturer and marketer of licensed brand image funerary products. Currently, the company offers urns and caskets that feature licensed images from Major League Baseball(TM), Precious Moments® and the Vatican Library Collection(TM), as well as pet urns featuring the American Kennel Club(TM) and the Cat Fanciers' Association(TM). For more information about EI, visit www.eternalimage.net or call 1-888-6-CASKET.
it looks like the item: 3 year requirement can be checked off the list.
Will anyone else opt to check other items off the NFL requirements list?
Isee 1 !!!
I would say that the players are the ultimate clients of this product, even though the NFL would need to endorse it, there is a significant difference between the NFL and its players to the extent that a long time team player like Brett Farve for example would make his own desicions over the NFL and he and his family would be so inclined to a Packers Urn for their own reasons which may or may not coencide with the NFL wishes. The NFL is going to play hard to get. IMO EI should dictate the terms of their product all others that are not on board or trying to capitalize on the opportunity or have organizational politics can take a back seat. Later they will find out that they should get on board because the players have the will not the NFL corporate offices.. Its the players that have the power in the long run and a core group of career players at that, not the "I'm on this team this year and that team next year crowd". The core group, folks like Joe Montana or Troy Aikman or John Elway, these are the leaders that will take products like EI to the point of succession in the eyes of the NFL management. Remember its not what you know but "who" you know. Imo
and of course, 'I know a guy'
lol best to you!
I agree with the lurker..as usual my friend..In fact I will say that some are waiting for funds to clear and clear and clear. WE get money often (new money) and always look for a bargain, so while my existing shares want the price to go up, my new money competes with them for lower prices... I'm all tore up with the old money and new money delima..
lol
keep up the good work!
I agree, a couple of down days is normal.
Look at a chart over time and a healthy chart has dips.
Now our chart lately looks like its trying to get where its supposed to. UP!!
If I were management I would not want this PPS to be below .01
on opening day of MLB.
ETIM, show some sack!!! Jack and get this PPS up to a reputable level. The majority of the investing community looks for price levels that have a little pizzaz.. Sub penny doesn't do it for most folks.. Thats a fact..
We in the sub penny market are few compared to the populus..
Super.. I thought the price on major stock sites doesn't alway show the actual price. One has to go to pinksheets quotation members or something like that or log on to a trade account to get accurate quotes. The .01 is rounded up on major price boards like bloomberg or whatever. When someone asks this question its may be because many people, I mean a whole lot of people do not pay attention to pink sheet stocks. I have a friend who worked in the World Trade Center in Manhattan and she informed me that most of those traders don't even look at stocks below 5 dollars, some go to 2 or 1 dollar limits. Beyond that there is a whole world that we are in. EI's job is to get the attention of the majority of the market that won't even consider us until we are 5.00 per share. That is the true word spoken by a veteran of the markets. She is now informed of ETIM, but I doubt that she will buy until it comes on her radar. (Too many years of trading she has a discipling I can't break.) Her and I have had conversations since October about ETIM. She is a little more interested today than before, thats all I can say for now.
ikno.

Happy Saint Patricks Day 2007
Crystal Cathedral Urns would be incredible. I am sure the honorable Rev. Robert Schuller would be excited to hear the idea. As well as Pastor Rick Warren of Saddle Back Church in Mission Viejo California. The OC population is a couple million I think..
What about the South? Babtists, Protestants.
Good post.
We have discussed this subject in the past month or two..
It was mentioned that tooling costs are a major consideration of EI prior to entering new licensing agreements..
The church always !!! Gets a piece of the action..
lol
I'm sure their numbers were few compared to what is taking place in terms of demand. They may have set the orders based on firm buyers at the time and set the budget according to what money they had last year when they set it up.
At present, they can begin to measure their purchasing/manufacturing power from the response of the first batch of products made, even those products that were pre sold. Filling the orders from past sales moves that group of product into the market. Now that said, the product being new to the funeral industry can and will perpetuate new orders and I beleive the company doesn't really know how much demand lays before them. The pipeline is new and the conservative approach is always wise. Once they build a few pipleline's (receive orders) they will have more information on how many of each line to manufacture. Back orders are King in the manufacturing business on most products. It means job security when demand exceeds supply.. Down the road, issues like on time delivery and quality customer service will come into play.
Nite Bee!!
thanks for watching over this group. Its good to be here
and every day above ground is a great day.. hick up...
nity nite...*&^%$#@ HICK UP...LOL
I picked this up on a scan. Did you see this today?
Brief Q&A with Eternal Image Investor Relations
Thomas J. Catino
3/16/2007 9:55 AM EST
The following is a short Q&A with Tony Fazio of Cambridge Investor Services, investor relations spokesperson for Eternal Image Inc. (OTC: ETIM).
While we will not be breaking any news in this note, the IR referenced previous press releases in his comments, it will provide you with a good opportunity to catch up on the more recent developments since we last wrote on the company.
A few things to watch for; continued positive press coverage (ie; CBS news, New York Times, New York Post) that will only add to the current marketing plans for its customized caskets and urns ahead of opening day for Major League Baseball, updates on new distributors, and most importantly, financial reports and guidance on future sales (which have not yet been released).
Q: Eternal Image sold-out its first run of Major League Baseball urns through pre-orders by distributors and funeral homes. What kinds of numbers are we looking at and is the company planning to boost production, and to what level?
A: "Our pre-orders have been so strong that we have begun the next production run of the first eight urns a full two months early," said Clint Mytych. "We expect our next order to be available to distributors and funeral homes in mid-May - and we have more than doubled the production of the initial order. Eternal Image has just begun filling orders for the first run of urns to distributors and funeral homes this month." Source: March 15th press release
Exact figures have not been published but will be addressed in a future Press Release.
Q: Nick Popravsky, vice president of sales and marketing for Eternal Image said "the response to the Vatican line has been very strong, and we feel that as more core customers learn about it the volume can only continue to grow." Any update on the marketing campaign to reach Catholic priests, parishes and dioceses?
A: "Eternal Image ... today announced it is launching a direct marketing program designed to saturate the Catholic marketplace with information about its new line of Vatican Library Collection(TM) urns.†Source: March 6th press release
The direct mail program is directed at nearly 42,000 Catholic priests, parishes and diocese; as well as Catholic cemeteries, hospitals and nursing homes. It will begin mailing at the end of this month and reach the vast majority of U.S. outlet in these categories.
The direct mail piece is part of a coordinated launch program that includes print advertising in Catholic Digest Magazine and similar outlets. A public relations outreach program to Catholic media is resulting in interviews on radio programs and in print directed at these markets.
EI is currently seeking to expand its distribution overseas under its global licensing agreement. The agreement with Vatican Library Collection(TM) allows EI to market worldwide and the company is working to establish international distribution and expects to announce more details in the second quarter of this year.
Q: Any update on the results for February? Company previously reported it beat forecasted gross sales for February 2007 by 32-percent. What figures are we talking about here? Any guidance available?
A: I would refer you to the latest unaudited financials (January) as posted on the Eternal Image website. Further, we are still in the process of an ongoing Financial Audit which should be completed in the near future.
Q: Is EI going to be a fully reporting company moving to a higher exchange?
A: Eternal Image is seeking to make the move from Pink Sheets to the OTC:BB in the coming months. In the meantime, the company has begin selling its first Vatican Library Collection(TM) urns (the Li'Italiano Classico model) and pre-selling its American Kennel Club(TM) pet urns. Sales of both are strong. Additional products including the first eight Major League Baseball(TM) team urns will be available next month."
Q: What are the future plans for the product line and increasing the list of distributors?
A: "EI is currently seeking to expand its distribution overseas under its global licensing agreement. The agreement with Vatican Library Collection(TM) allows EI to market worldwide and the company is working to establish international distribution and expects to announce more details in the second quarter of this year." Source: March 6th press release
Perhaps Reuters can do more coverage, since it hits abroad and we all know there are a ton of buyers of US Pinks in the EU. More free Press Coverage helps create the visibility..to keep the price strength.
OT: Marketing statistics state that consumer comprehension responses do not take effect until viewed the 3rd time, even though some response occurs, most businesses agree anything above 4 % response is a winner. The response figures from the 3rd marketing campaign out numbered the combined 1st and 2nd campaign results. I beleive those are ADVO numbers. Just running an AD in a magazine one or two times doesn't do justice to the company dollars spent. The investment must be at least 3-12 publications' repeated in their respective publication time frames with each magazine or similar media marketing products.
I noticed that, maybe the guy was on London Time when they put it out or something....

I spoke with Clint about this and asked him to check out old financial information from the previous shell and he said he would and a week later that information was gone, I also notified my broker regional operations manager to assist from the other direction..
