Cool The Luv Gluv has arrived!

I came home from work today and a box was waiting for me on my front porch. I knew right away that it was my Gluv condoms. I started to tear into the packaging right away. When I opened the box, The Gluv was all over the place. After two years of hard work my first product has arrived. It feels so good to actually see your vision on product.

I know this is the beginning and much hard work is ahead, but I'm ready for the challenge. I just wanted to share this with all aspiring youngen tre pre neurs out there chasing their dreams. Never give up hope in your vision and stay the course and good things shall happen.

P.S. 10 Gluv condoms sold 10/8/03 Ya heard

Peace,

Irvin S.

Congrats!!! How many did you order? Do you have some pictures or want to send some samples out WEST? I am interested to see how the packaging works and just the general aspects.

G-men go west!

Steve,

Thank you! I'm definately want to get them out west. While in LA I went to a club and met a cool bathroom attendant. I noticed that he had no condoms in the restroom, so I told him about mine and he agreed to sell them there for me. So, I will be sending some out to him this week. I believe that there is no better place for this venture to take off than west.

What do you have in mind? Send me your address and I will send some out to you. I'm also going to press some shirts out with the logo. All shirts and clothing will contain a packet called the gluv box Tm2003 to hold 1-2 condoms for friday night after the party.

I really need my web site designed, up and running soon. It's really important for me in order to make dealing with domestic and foreign health organizations smoother. HIV is a world health issue and my condom venture doubles up as a powerful, innovative, prevention program for youth.

I need a web designer that wants to come on board with an up and comming venture. A web designer that will work hand and hand with me to design the most effective site for youth 14-29. Their is enough for us all to eat.

Steve get me that info and let's see what we can do. Thanks again.

Peace

Irvin Ackerman

Lightbulb Are you exporting?

Are you going to export?

I think if they are marketed correctly to be kinda a different novel sorta "cool" condom i would be very interested in importing them into New Zealand.

DO you have any pictures?

Do you have the ability to put interesting messages on the condom, so when you unroll it there is some witty saying? Even pictures?

Get back to me. im Very interested.

luv gluv cool condoms

Scott,

That is exactly what my plans are for the marketing of my condoms. COOL! When I met with the manufacturer we actually talked about getting the characters printed on the actual condoms. His family has been the pioneers and innovators of the industry since the early 1900's. He told me that it could be done. I really feel that is the edge that I will hold, taking the game to the next 2 levels of marketing.

I truly believe in order to be competitive in the long run, that I have to stay fresh, innovative and exciting. More than just "Trojan man" marketing pitches. New products, animation, colors, music, gamming and luv will set us apart. Let me know what you can do to help with making my marketing plan cutting edge and new? It has to tap into the youth culture like Pepsi.

Thanks for inquiring. Send me your address and I will send you a few condoms so you can get a feel.

Peace,

Irvin Ackerman

Hi, as i said i can really help you out. Its sort of my hobby, to think of crazy marketing ideas. Innovative design and generally shaping the image that the product gives to the public.

I love the name, and I think that’s a great marketing advantage to start from. As you say though thinking differently and 'outside the square' will be the difference between success and failure as there is a reasonable amount of competition.

Are you on msn or yahoo? Maybe we could chat a bit more?

True indeed!

I think our businesses would definately be a great fit. Get back to me and let me know what's up. I've been selling the most condoms to college students in my City, they can't get over the luv gluv baby.

Tear it and wear it

Irvin
