While touring the Thailand country side I was amazed at the number of large scale manufacturing facilities that were for sale or sitting vacant.  I can only imagine that in parts of the former Soviet Union, Western Germany, and third world countries there are excessive amounts of manufacturing and large scale industrial complexes sitting vacant.  The marketplace for purchasing and selling these massive facilities can best be optimized through - The Internet.  I don’t know of many websites that connect buyers and sellers of these awe-inspiring facilities.  Can anyone say business opportunity!?  eBay is certainly a great place to list these facilities; I regularly see strange pieces of real estate for sale on eBay in Brazil, Costa Rica, and other American retirement destinations.

Most of these massive complexes can probably be purchased for pennies on the dollar.  With rising inflation across most western countries the costs of material are going up; and for many US manufacturers shifting operations to third world countries is the only way to stay compeitive in a global market place.  Recently, Intel announced a $600 million dollar semi-conductor manufacturing facility in Hanoi, Vietnam.

Banner Blindness Inc. (my company) currently has far too many projects in the works to invest in an eBay type website for large scale manufacturing and industrial.  However, if any readers of this website would like to invest in a project of this sort, please email Support@BannerBlindness.com or call 312-281-8931 and leave a message.  The following is my proposal to potential web investors interested in this project:

$5K will buy you 49.9% of the website.  I won’t relinquish control of marketing and business decisions.  This is purely a long term investment and you will receive a 49.9% controlling stake in the company.

Value of company at time of initial investment will be $10,000.  For $5K you will own 49.9% of the company.

Banner Blindness Inc. will own 50.1% of the $10,000 company.

The website will be built within one month

The website will undergo testing and optimization in the second month

The website will launch in the third month.  In the third month Banner Blindness Inc. professionals will initiate a marketing and advertising campaign as well as hire independent writers, content producers, and “listers: around the world to document and bring forth vacant large scale properties in third world countries.

The fourth month should result in dozens of listed properties and hopefully a sale of one large scale property.

Potential customers will be able to call in to our offices in order to learn more about the property.  Potential customers must sign an NDA and agreement to enter into business with the website only.  We will outsource all legal actions to an international legal firm in order to pursue companies that purchase property as a result of our exchange.

Why not just steal this idea and do it yourself?  Well, you certainly can!  We just currently lack the funds, but not the talent or employees (as we have over 30 on retainer in India), to build our projects and even handle some of the marketing.  So once again, if you are interested in investing in this web start up, please email Support@BannerBlindness.com or call 312-281-8931 and leave a message.

I bet the picture below is a familiar image from your childhood:

If you are a packaged good manufacturer, marketing through your packages is a great way to increase sales.  I wonder who the first person / company was to figure this out?  I think this form of marketing was probably a big break through back in the 1950’s.  If you do eCommerce and are looking for a way to increase revenues consider including advertising materials in the products you ship.  I have always argued that Amazon.com, Half.com, eBay.com (power sellers), and other online retailers should form a syndicate and include paid advertising pieces in all the products they ship.  So you create a website to find advertisers and publishers.  The publishers are organizations that ship goods through the postal service, UPS, or FEDEX.  You pay them for every item they ship that includes one of your advertisements.  It will help them cut down on their shipping costs and create an “offline” but highly effective advertising network.  Or UPS and FEDEX should include an optional check mark on air bills that allows them to paste an advertisement on the package.  If you are an internet investor and interested in partnering with Banner Blindness to produce a website that can organize all of this, please call 312-281-8931 or email Support@BannerBlindness.com  Please, serious investors only.

Below we reviewed McDonald’s flash based Chill Out lounge - and in short it’s pretty lame and doesn’t inform customers about their new brick and mortar Chill Lounges. I also recently came across this Lincoln MKS flash based website - and I have to admit, the designers did a hell of a good job. Still, I think flash based websites are lame, but this site takes it to a different level. The music, technology, 360 rotation capabilities, drag and drop interactivity, and other features make this one of the best flash based/consumer product sites I have seen in a while. View screen shots below:

Banner Blindness Inc. would like to propose to McDonald’s, auto manufacturers, consumer electronic manufacturers, as well as other large consumer product manufacturers - stop using Flash Based websites that offer you no residual SEO traffic, no dynamic flexibility, and high production costs. Instead: build interactive blogs! For example, in the case of the Lincoln MKS website; the designers should have produced a blog with daily blog posts that discuss the car, consumer testimonials, pictures, the car doing crazy things, etc… Flash based websites are static, and blogs are dynamic. They can be changed, added to, and manipulated on the fly.

If your company needs a consumer product focused blog please call Banner Blindness at 312-281-8931 or email Support@BannerBlindness.com
