What's up all. I went to LA this week and placed my first order of Gluv condoms. My condoms will be here in 2-3 weeks. I wanted to get some advice on what the best route to take is at this time.

I plan to hit all majr health organizations in my area to try to link some contract deals with them to carry my condoms. To start out I won't have a variety to compete with others, but it is just a start.

I'm also gonna hit fraternaties and sororities to make a deal for their houses to sponsor our condoms for the year. I'm also in the process of getting my comic books made up.

This is just a small overview of what I will be doing. I'm looking to get insight from my fellow entrepreneurs on how to operate most effectively. Please feel free to shoot all the help possible my way. I don't have a large bank account to launch big, so I must take it step by step.

Thank you all

Hey mate.

I’m interested in these condoms.
Could you send me some information for the manufacturer? I’m thinking of bringing them into New Zealand.

I can also assist with marketing.

They sound pretty funky.

Scott,

We can definately work something out. I don't know much about New Zealoand condom market, but if you believe that it can work there let me know. If you want to place an order let me know and I will give you the pricing. The gluv is my own brand of condom and I own all rights. I also will be in need of an marketing representative for my venture. Send me some info on what you do and we will take it from their.

Luv Gluv(c)2000 will be the next generation of condoms for youth throughout the Globe.

Thanks,

The market in New Zealand is a lot like the American market. Many products are tested on the NZ Market before any other country. NZ was the first country to get things like Text messaging and picture messaging on cell phones.

I am really into marketing. My interest is shaping the way people view a product or the image it has in the market. I can assist you with packaging design, web site design advertising etc.
A site of mine for example is http://www.casemedia.co.nz

Get back to me with your ideas.
