Description:
I have developed an exhaust product for internal combustion engines, that saves lots of fuel, adds power and lowers emissions. Be it gas , diesel, or alternative fuel it uses physics to force an engine to run much more efficiently. Better efficiency is what it is all about . the better the efficiency, the better the fuel mileage, performance and lower emissions. I did a start up after raising a little over $500,000 from private investors. The business plan was executed perfectly outside of marketing. I realized only recently that this will be a hard sell to the general public for fuel savings because it is so hard to believe. unfortunately, this is where we were concentrating our efforts with little success. I finally decided that the best target market would be to those who will better understand and appreciate what the product does so well. I have always been a "gear head" or car buff. No matter how you say it, I am one of them. I know how these people think. After speaking to a couple friends who have been successful at the automotive after market, their suggestions were the same. They agreed that a technical article would legitimize the product , then at the same time launch an ad in the same magazine. they sell 200,000 magazines per month. I know that once a few are sold, the performance improvements will raise eyebrows. Yes they work that well and I am confident being a "gearhead" myself. I believe that the word will spread like wildfire, and of course our name with it. I closed the shop in 2010 and everything is in storage. I have all my files, and equipment in storage. Once the orders through the magazine begin coming in I can build and ship from anywhere I can plug my welders in. cash flow will not be a problem because we are paid before shipment or even manufacturing. Everything is bought and paid for including some stock to build product. We can expand as sales do.
