And When InBusiness4Good Becomes the Norm

2007-06-25T17:21:00.000+02:00

I got this today, via Yahoo. When this model becomes the norm, these numbers will be a pale memory of what was before. The Retail economy, at around 20 Trillion, with a mere 22% allocated to good, would serve the needs of society much more effectively.

From AP...

NEW YORK - Americans gave nearly $300 billion to charitable causes last year, setting a new record and besting the 2005 total that had been boosted by a surge in aid to victims of hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma and the Asian tsunami.

Donors contributed an estimated $295.02 billion in 2006, a 1 percent increase when adjusted for inflation, up from $283.05 billion in 2005. Excluding donations for disaster relief, the total rose 3.2 percent, inflation-adjusted, according to an annual report released Monday by the Giving USA Foundation at Indiana University's Center on Philanthropy.

Giving historically tracks the health of the overall economy, with the rise amounting to about one-third the rise in the stock market, according to Giving USA. Last year was right on target, with a 3.2 percent rise as stocks rose more than 10 percent on an inflation-adjusted basis.

"What people find especially interesting about this, and it's true year after year, that such a high percentage comes from individual donors," Giving USA Chairman Richard Jolly said.

Individuals gave a combined 75.6 percent of the total. With bequests, that rises to 83.4 percent.

The biggest chunk of the donations, $96.82 billion or 32.8 percent, went to religious organizations. The second largest slice, $40.98 billion or 13.9 percent, went to education, including gifts to colleges, universities and libraries.

About 65 percent of households with incomes less than $100,000 give to charity, the report showed.

"It tells you something about American culture that is unlike any other country," said Claire Gaudiani, a professor at NYU's Heyman Center for Philanthropy and author of "The Greater Good: How Philanthropy Drives the American Economy and Can Save Capitalism." Gaudiani said the willingness of Americans to give cuts across income levels, and their investments go to developing ideas, inventions and people to the benefit of the overall economy.

Gaudiani said Americans give twice as much as the next most charitable country, according to a November 2006 comparison done by the Charities Aid Foundation. In philanthropic giving as a percentage of gross domestic product, the U.S. ranked first at 1.7 percent. No. 2 Britain gave 0.73 percent, while France, with a 0.14 percent rate, trailed such countries as South Africa, Singapore, Turkey and Germany.

Mega-gifts, which Giving USA considers to be donations of $1 billion or more, tend to get the most attention, and that was true last year especially.

Investment superstar Warren Buffett announced in June 2006 that he would give $30 billion over 20 years to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Of that total, $1.9 billion was given in 2006, which helped push the year's total higher.

Gaudiani said that gift reflects a growing focus on using donated money efficiently and effectively.

"I think it's also a strategic commitment to upward mobility exported to other countries, in the form of improved health and stronger civil societies," she said.

The Gates Foundation has focused on reducing hunger and fighting disease in developing countries as well as improving education in the U.S. Without Buffett's pledge, it had an endowment of $29.2 billion as of the end of 2005.

Meanwhile, companies and their foundations gave less in 2006, dropping 10.5 percent to $12.72 billion. Jolly said corporate giving fell because companies had been so generous in response to the natural disasters and because profits overall were less strong in 2006 over the year before.

The Giving USA report counts money given to foundations as well as grants the foundations make to nonprofits and other groups, since foundations typically give out only income earned without spending the original donations.

New Year's Resolution for Career Path

2006-12-31T15:47:00.000+01:00

This is an example of how the InBusiness4Good campaign has evolved, and has set the direction for our work for the next 20 years. Enjoy and share with a friend.

Here's the campaign overview, which would work brilliantly for your efforts on behalf of the Global Campaign we discussed. Please review this, and advise your next interesting steps. I anticipate we'll have your version on our main plate within the next week or so, with your activated blessings of continued support.

Global Campaigns for Media and Distribution of Spiritual Messaging

This campaign is focused on providing to specific spiritual communities, a major online development and management, of a media, messaging, and support system projects, such that the spiritual community will become a significant aspect of the online communities lives, and by extension through their connections with offline associates, effect a massive shift of life on our planet.

Focusing on the ability of the Internet, in it's many variations, from desktop connections, through handheld music players, this campaign will provide a continuous stream of information, gleaned from the available or produced messaging materials, such that when aligned with high focus news events, a perspective will be shared that enlightens our planet's population, with a message of hope, giving, love, joy, and harmony.

The Research Phase

With more than 200,000 active communities online, each of them focused on a specific topic or thems, and numbering now, depending on the method of measurement, from 100 million to 500 million participants, there is an opportunity to reach, through non-traditional media such as the digital world, a massive amount of the planet, in a relatively short period of time. Each spiritual community will go through a 6 to 12 week research phase, where the main messages from that community, will be compared with the topical references active in the online community.

The Packaging Phase

During the Research Phase, the messaging will be 'Packaged" according to the most predominant means of communications(e.g. music. film, video, etc) based on which community is more vibrationally consistent with that message. Since each community will have a fairly well defined communications strategy, evident in that communities preferred online behaviour, the packaging will consist of tailoring the message so that it's most consistent with the existing community norms. This phase requires a 4 to 6 month project approach, and can be updated continuously, based on additional research or feedback.

Support System Phase

Each of the communities will have a major 'cause du jour' as it's called, where a community service project will require support in a material sense. This campaign, designed to produce a communications system, a merchandising system, and a media system, will coordinate the messaging of the spiritual community, with the current community focused cause needs. This phase usually requires 4 to 6 weeks for start up, and then is refreshed quarterly with additional expansion of that support material.

Expansion Phase

In association with the communities online, this word of mouth approach, is ongoing, and builds the core messages from the spiritual community in a way that it perpetuates through the internet. This is a major difference from the mainstream media, where impact is key. This approach, makes it possible for those enlightened by the message, to simply share that with others in their online communities, and therefore expand the spiritual message beyond their own personal issues.

Timing for the campaign launch

The entire campaign requires a 6 to 12 month commitment of time and resources, and will flow in this manner:

Start up Research

Our team of researchers, numbering from 1 to 4, will engage in online research, which yields the most likely strategic plan for disseminating the message on behalf of our clients. This is quite time intensive, and requires a focused attention of the research group.

Investment for each researcher for 2 to 3 months $ 2500.00 per month

Packaging Phase

These professionals are artists at their craft, and are selected for their understanding of the needs of the specific medium that's required.

Investment for each packaging professional for 2 to 3 months $4000.00 per month

Community Project Coordinators

These individuals are either selected from the communities, and co manage the campaigns, or are recruited due to their compatibility with the message or their ability to translate through the technology to the community.

Investment for each community coordinator for 4 to 6 months

$2000,00 per month

Overall Management Team

For a variety of projects, there will and overall management/facilitation team, who has the responsibility to assist, encourage, and anticipate the needs of the key players above. As your point of contact, they are in the customer service mode continuously, and availabe on call, either electronically or via more traditional means

Investment for Management Liason for length of campaign(usually 6 to 12 months)

$ 25,000 on contract

So, with that in mind, here's my proposal.

For those that seek Love

2006-10-03T07:16:00.000+02:00

These usually don't pass through, but perhaps it's time for some loving feelings?

Each year he sent her roses,
and the note would always say,
I love you even more this year,
than last year on this day.
My love for you will always grow,
with every passing year."

She knew this was the last time
that the roses would appear.
She thought, he ordered roses
in advance before this day.
Her loving husband did not know,
that he would pass away.

He always liked to do things early,
way before the time.
Then, if he got too busy,
everything would work out fine.

She trimmed the stems and
placed them in a very special vase.
Then, sat the vase beside
the portrait of his smiling face.

She would sit for hours,
In her husband's favorite chair.
While staring at his picture,
and the roses sitting there.

A year went by, and it was
to live without her mate.
With loneliness and solitude,
that had become her fate.

Then, the very hour,
The doorbell rang, and there
were roses sitting by her door.

She brought the roses in,
and then just looked at them in shock.
Then, went to get the telephone,
to call the florist shop.

The owner answered, and she asked him,
if he would explain, Why would someone would
do this to her, causing her such pain?

"I know your husband passed away,
more than a year ago,"
The owner said,
"I knew you'd call, and you would want to know.
The flowers you received today,
were paid for in advance.
Your husband always planned ahead,
he left nothing to chance.
There is a standing order,
that I have on file down here,
And he has paid, well in advance,
you'll get them every year.

There also is another thing,
that I think you should know,
He wrote a special little card...he did this years ago.
Then, should ever I find out that he's no longer here, that's the card that should be sent to you
the following year."

She thanked him and hung up the phone, her tears now flowing hard.
Her fingers shaking,
as she slowly reached to get the card.

Inside the card, she saw that he had written her a note.
Then, as she stared in total silence,
this is what he wrote...

"Hello my love, I know it's been a year
since I've been gone.
I hope it hasn't been too hard for you to overcome.
I know it must be lonely,
and the pain is very real.

Or if it was the other way,
I know how I would feel.
The love we shared made everything
so beautiful in life.
I loved you more than words can say,
you were the perfect wife.
You were my friend and lover,
you fulfilled my every need.
I know it's only been a year,
but please try not to grieve.

I want you to be happy,
even when you shed your tears.
That is why the roses will be sent to you for years.
When you get these roses,
think of all the happiness that we had together,
and how both of us were blessed.
I have always loved you and
I know I always will.
But, my love, you must go on,
you have some living still.

Please...try to find happiness,
while living out your days.
I know it is not easy,
but I hope you find some ways.

The roses will come every year,
and they will only stop,
When your door's not answered,
when the florist stops to knock.
He will come five times that day,
in case you have gone out.
But after his last visit,
he will know without a doubt!
To take the roses to the place,
where I've instructed him
and place the roses where we are,
together once again.

Sometimes in life, you find a special friend;
Someone who changes your life
just by being part of it.
Someone who makes you laugh
until you can't stop;
Someone who makes you believe
that there really is good in the world.
Someone who convinces you
that there really is an unlocked door
just waiting for you to open it.

Lessons learned about Technology

2006-02-01T21:06:00.000+01:00

Maybe, just maybe, this is one of those situations, where learning is part of the process. The computer I'm using, from Buddha Studios, is called Buddah(no suprise there, eh?)..and for the last day and a half, for whatever reasons(like maybe shifting energetics) the computer gave me the day off. This morning, I found out that the computer has come back into the game, with full capabilities. You gotta love those cosmic lessons. Now, back to our campaign for Peace.

We've set up this media center, and are open to your work with the stories of Peace in your world. Send a note to this email, and we'll review your item, and consider it for the Peace Media Release schedule.

Season of Peace & Non-Violence Festival of the Arts Opens from Kauai

Aloha,

Just as always..the poignant pause prior to perfection(alliterative tonight are we?)..the Peace & Non-Violence campaign for media is in place. Giving it over to God now. May it be so.

To Blog or Not To Blog..is that a ?

2006-01-23T18:16:00.000+01:00

Aloha,

Jumped up this morning, with a notion. Here goes. What say you we simply codify this business for good model, post it here, and allow all to simply pick it up, use it for their own good, and compensate our campaign with what they are guided to provide?

Well..nuff said..Let's begin, shall we?

In Business 4 Good Premise: This is the model which we've elected to manifest, through the skills set we've been given. To wit, the essential element of this campaign is to make it possible for ANYONE, regardless of their personal HandiCapableness(and aren't we all challenged in one part of our lives?), to create an online business, that raises a significant(usually 25%) of the revenues for their favorite charity or community group.

Here's some numbers for our review:

Again, depending on the source, worldwide retail household spending, which is handled at least 75% by women, is around 7 to 10 Trillion dollars(from a Google search on global retail spending).

Ok..so..online retail spending for 2005 is estimated to be in the neighborhood of 500 billion. So, considering that some will buy online, others will buy through toll free service(we have both in our model), let's just say that our community goal would be to redirect 50 Billion of that spending, a mere drop in the retail bucket, to good?

So, we'll need to set up at least 200,000 entities, all doing some good. Selling around 200 Billion in goods and services, to yield the 50 Billion for good. So, 200 Billion divided by 200 thousand, is
1,000,000(check my math here) for each entity. Assuming a 22% retained earnings(gross profit margin) from the sale of the goods and services, that would mean around 200,000 in annual cashflow through(formerly known as income).

So, who would like to come play with us? Simply send an email to this address
inbusiness4good@yahoo.com

Or you can reach us through Yahoo Instant Messenger(http://messenger.yahoo.com for the free download) at our leanbicycler ID.

Hope to hear from some of you.

2005-12-23T21:13:00.001+01:00

How the In Business For Good Model Helps a
NPO or Good Cause
V 1.0 December 23, 2005, 9:02 AM

During the investigation phase of the development of the In Business 4 Good Campaign, during the early part of 2005, our research indicated that an unusual amount of the resources for a charity or Non-profit, are consumed in the incessant need to identify, and nurture, the sources of supply necessary to continue operations. In the business environment, these would be in the form of marketing research, channel development, and sales development. The key personnel of most good causes, with rare exception, are drawn from the ‘feeling’ industries, or are not as well suited to the intentional work that’s needed to continuously develop revenue streams to support their good work. Conversely, their activities and intentions would serve the larger community, when a consistent source of supply is identified, and focused towards the good cause work, alleviating the need to continuously search and seek for resources.

Hence, we endeavored to create a model for consistent revenue enhancement, which would draw on existing market behaviors, and supplement those grants, foundation trust, stock and dividend holdings, and provide an upside potential that would add value to the mix of resources for a good cause. The IB4G model, is thereby, evolving along one of the strongest sources of convertible revenue, namely, the household consumption retail purchasing sector. This area, which according to most estimates, supplies nearly 2/3 of the economic activity of the #1 economy in the world (the USA), has the potential, when diverted through a stream of development campaigns, to supply an additional 5 to 25% higher contributions globally. In estimated numbers, that would mean that the estimated 250 Billion USD that goes to good, would be enhanced by from 12 to 50 Billion, and worldwide, could approximate 200 to 400 Billion. To cast this in practical terms, the household retail consumption globally, though difficult to characterize, is estimated to be in the neighborhood of 20 to 30 Trillion dollars US. Now, that’s a nice neighborhood. Conversely, the estimated global giving pool is in the area of 1 to 2 Trillion. So, with that in mind, we begin our process of systematically, through advanced digital marketing research, community focused campaigning, and selection of Artists for Good, aligned by purposeful expression, to support those good efforts in a practical campaign business model.

Your Humble Servant,

The Process of Engagement

The process for engaging with a good cause is as follows:

The Good Cause will be engaged from one of these following activities:
Nominated through our network of IB4G associated entities
Identified as a supporter of a “Current Events” focused News Item
Self Nominated to be included in one of our Artists 4 Good Campaigns

The process is identical, regardless of how our campaign project is introduced to the Good Cause. Steps that will be processed:

A. The Good Cause will be introduced, via email to the board/exec director, to one of the existing, in development, or planned campaign sites. This will include a review session at the blogs, where the journal activities of the teams will be evident.
B. The Good Cause will then be encouraged to provide a vision of what aspect of their work would benefit most from our efforts.
C. A mock up of the campaign plan, will be prepared by the IB4G campaign associated teams, and then presented, for review, to the Good Cause decision matrix.
D. Once the alignment is complete, the Artists 4 Good Community will be engaged, and the appropriate, supportive mix of artistic expressionists, will be identified. This will be in the form of a ‘casting call’ for good, sent out to a myriad of artists we’ve identified in this process. Local artists, familiar to the good cause, will also be encouraged to participate.
E. The Good Cause will then be presented with a listing of the candidate artists who have expressed their interests. Selections will be encouraged along the lines of the artists alignment with the Good Cause values.
F. The IB4G campaign will then be tailored to include the accepted artists, and the campaign schedule will be solidified.
G. Accessory digital modalities, such as a media campaign center (in association with GoodNewsBroadcast.com) will be started and maintained.
H. The pattern of roll out will be as follows:
1. Merchandising support center in association with Cafepress.com will be established.
2. The media/music mix will be implemented in a music catalog/film/video festival approach.
3. The Giving Works schedule will be implemented, and planned for the online auction of Artists for Good.

I. The campaign facilitator, chosen from among the team, will then be responsible for communication with the development team, the cause du jour, and the media, and handle the campaign success. Each CF will have the license to extend the campaign, beyond the 100 day agreement, based on market response factors, additional Artists 4 Good contributions, or media/current events stimulus which might extend and enhance the contributions of the campaign.
J. Typical goals for the campaigns will run in the 88,000 USD support level, as a standard goal, and will involve three sources of support.
1. Direct Donations through Paypal.com
2. % of conversion sales of Merchandise
3. % of proceeds from Online Giving Works Auction
K. In all cases, the merchandising support center, will be accessible and supporting the good cause, in perpetuity, based on mutual agreement of the good cause, the artists, and IB4G.
L. Upon completion of the campaign calendar, summaries of activities, assessment of campaign aspects for improvement, auditing of campaign proceeds, and distribution of activated resources, will be completed by the CF.
M. We encourage a continuing resource mode, especially in the merchandising support center, which carries a dual responsibility to supply revenues for distribution, yet also is the secondary promotional focus. Each merchandising expression, carries ‘look back’ information, in the form of an electronic link identifier, so that the merchandise carries the message continuously.

Business with a Heart Outline

2005-12-23T18:32:00.000+01:00

Every once in a while, a collaborative influence shifts my perspective. Courtesy of Barbara Leuin, from Colorado, US, here's a missive that's stirring my thinking/feeling nature in this campaign.

Patrick – My notes on our conversation from Jan. 25th. Happy recording! -- Babs

Six Steps To Business Development With A Heart

The problem is there’s always been a credibility gap between the presenters of success and the journey of success. Most people, when they go to a seminar to learn how to be successful in a certain area, get presented with the finished result, a formula for how to get there, and a lot of rah rah inspiration/motivation. The trouble is, the journey is the destination. Getting there is all the fun.

What would it be like to become involved with a successful group of entreprenuers, from inception? What would it be like to not only watch the process from the outside, but to become involved, and have a team of like-minded professionals participate with you in your success?…What would it be like to learn by doing, and know that you could never be wrong, because all your mistakes are uptakes? Every experience is a learning experience designed to give you course correction on your chosen path?

This is what it might look like:

Inspiration

This is the first line…pre-Master Mind…Brain Storming…Pure innovation…meddling with the Universe at the DNA level…can be delivered through chronicles…everything we do should be documented…

Master Mind (or “Heart-Mind”)

This is high-probability collaboration and distribution…other creative types who like to be in on the ground floor of things can contribute and put their stuff in…this can be delivered via tele-classes, conference calls, on-line chats…High-end seminar/retreat…for $500 a day, participate with Dr. Barbara (& others) at the seminal stage of business creation…

Manifestation

From the master-mind to output…design prototype, sample, mock-up, storyboard, demonstration,

Market Sense

Focus group, market testing, early subscription model, niche channel development…market pull

Collaboration

co-marketing; co-adventuring

Community

community-based development; the market speaks; we fill orders with specialized products…

n.b. you also mentioned the “Balance Point Performance Model” -- turn the mountain upside down and spin it like a top.

We Prefer Paypal

2005-12-23T08:32:00.000+01:00

Due to our arrangement with Giving Works through Ebay, we're hosting all of our online transactions through PayPal, and Ebay company.

How this works

2005-12-23T06:59:00.000+01:00

Now that there is a little breathing room, perhaps I can provide some perpective on how the IB4G campaign has manifested itself.

In Business for Good
A New Beginning for Economics
And Business Development
V 1.02 Wednesday, August 10, 2005

“In Business for Good” is an economic business development model, designed for the explicit purpose of redirecting a substantial percentage of existing buying behavior to the coffers of local and international community support organizations. Focused on the primary focus market of women from 25 to 70, each participating entity in this evolvement campaign will be challenged to provide a ‘top of the line’ contribution, vice a bottom line, pre-tax donation, to a charitable institution, non-profit entity, community organization, at a level from 10 to 25% of the gross retail value of the product or service.

The premise of this campaign was inspired in a remote place on the Earth, where many episodes of rawthentic and original thinking take place. Perhaps this is due to the ‘clear air’ environment that pervades this remote location, or perhaps it’s the absence of intrusive distractions or obstacles. Whichever is your understanding, this particular incident (which is the core word of co-incidence, by the way), was percolated within the crucible of Kauai, the most western of the main islands of Hawaii. On a particular February week, this author, along with my family, were supporting one of the many community based events, namely the building of the Friends of Kamalani pavilion (see http://www.kamalani.org for more information on that group’s admirable efforts.)

The project leader, along with the lead architect, namely one Bob Leathers, an esteemed developer of over 30 years duration of children’s’ recreational facilities around the world, were instrumental in the formation of the core idea for this campaign.

At that time, surrounded by some of the local community organizations’ leaders, from the United Way, to the local Arts council, to the radio show personality that supports these efforts, a question was posed to me.

“What can you do with the Internet to raise needed funds for our groups?”

As the resonance of that question rang in my ears, and cascaded through the formidable rafters of my mind, a glimmer of an idea, merely a passing notion, perhaps, formed. What would ‘it’ look like ‘when’ the entire idea of running an online funding development company (the seed of ‘In Business for Good’), which could radically alter the landscape of community support. Surely this would be a worthy effort for a recently transported technically adroit marketing philanthropreneur.
Mulling on this idea, and letting it resonate within the echoing chambers of my prior experiences, the light flickered, and then glowed. After a series of research projects, here are the initial conclusions that were drawn, and hence form the essence of the causation of this campaign.

A. In round figures, approximately $ 1 Trillion dollars is donated, granted, or given annually around the world. This may be within 20% either way, yet suffices for this example.
B. According to a long list of credible sources of information, the projected retail economy of the US/Canada/Europe is approximately 30 to 45 Trillion dollars.
C. The major market segment, by gender/population, that supports more than ¾ of all retail activity, is women between 25 and 60. This varies among market areas, of course, yet on average, this example will suffice for our review.
D. Interestingly, and perhaps, this is the major issue here, is that the same group of women, represents nearly 80% of the support pool that contributes the valuable < $100.00 that many of the charities depend on for a growing amount of their annual budgets.

So, with this in mind, we begin. To align with a ‘validation’ marketing approach, where cooperation, support, encouragement, sharing of information and with the activated participation of locally based, independent musical and creative artists, we stand at the edge of opportunity. Are you ready to join us? Do you feel the ‘chicken skin’(Hawaiian expression for goose bumps) as you consider that drawing a percentage of more than 30 Trillion dollars, that’s already being spent, and redirecting up to 25% of that good to the needs of a local organization. And this would represent a supplement to the donation pool, and IN FACT, represents a “MORE ACCESSIBLE” source of funding than merely reorganizing the tentatively shrinking donation pool.

So, with that pre-amble, let us begin. The journey of a thousand steps commences with one intentional decision. To become a Philanthropreneur, and engage your energies, creativity, and inspiration, to an “In Business for Good” model. Welcome to the opening of a chapter in economic history, that may represent the most significant shift of emphasis since the rise of mercantilism.

Your Humble Servant,

August 8, 2005 Update

In the proof of concept stage of any business model, there is the apparent requirement for a demonstration of the viability of the premise on which the model is based. Such as this is a combination of various proven models, and in light of the scale and proportion of the vision of the CEO, its incumbent on us to effect just such a public demonstration. Like Jonas Salk did with his initial polo vaccine, by injecting himself with the first formula, we will ‘inoculate’ our business by launching a dynamic campaign to prove the concept in situ. So, with no further preliminary understandings, we commence the “In Business for Good” campaign with the Major Development Peace & Non-Violence Music/Media events:

A Peace & Non-Violence Auction from Paradise
November 2005

This electronically accessible event will feature the accumulated artistic expressions of various members of the community of the island of Kauai, the westernmost of the main Hawaiian Islands. Each of the artists will be encouraged to contribute one of their most ambitious expressions that support Good Causes and Community Organizations around the world.

Peace & Non-Violence Album Reviews/Listings (Top 88)

The declaration of Kauai as the Peace & Non-Violence Entertainment capital of the world, in August of 2005, we are preparing an online music review guide that will feature samplers of the top 88 songs from around the world. These top tunes, will be rated on the merits of the number of freely shared downloads, the number of benefit gig CD’s that carry them, and also with the number of units purchased as gifts of Peace for another person.

Peace & Non-Violence Icons/Awards

As each community group, online discussion group, or media outlet adopts the P & NV music support method, we will ‘award’ them a “Heartbeat” award, in one of five categories. Each of them will be provided with a kiosk/support center link, which duplicates the current merchandising/marketing arrangements, in a Community Commons approach to distribution.

The Heartbeat Award Nomination Campaign

We will open this ‘people’s choice’ award to the larger P & NV community, asking that there be a progressive and continuing process of nominations for this ‘award’ which is a celebration of the commitment of certain artists to the Ahimsa nature of the Peace & Non-Violence themes.

Peace & Non-Violence Support Centers aligned with Churches and Communities

Peace & Non-Violence Uploading sites

Much like the re-fueling stations that permeate the traditional world’s distribution systems (warehouses, depots, etc), these sites will carry the most important aspects of uploading or downloading facilities. Some candidates for this are Yahoo.com, Real Networks, EBay, Google, etc.

Peace & Non-Violence Media Centers

Oriented to propagate and communicate the essence of what’s working in the world of Peace & Non-Violence, these existing electronically enabled communications companies will be packaged in a ‘media’ gift, sponsored through merchandising and support payments (subscriptions) from the P & NV communities.

Peace & Non-Violence Musician Profiles

A veritable who’s who of the Peace & Non-Violence community, these artists will be honored for their continued commitment to non-violent non-cooperative shift by the expression of their creative potentials.

Cafe Press In Business For Good Gifting Certificat

2005-12-23T06:09:00.000+01:00

We have a campaign hq support center developing here.

http://www.cafepress.com/sliceofparadise/

Here's a gift certificate from our publishing company, HarmonyNet Media Group, that's good at any of these stores.

Welcome to In Business for Good

2005-12-23T02:56:00.000+01:00

The basis for the In Business 4 Good Business Model

The objective of the IB4G Model of operations is focused on a systematic redirection of existing consumer spending, in the primary areas of music, entertainment, videos, art and collectibles. A flat percentage conversion, usually 25%, and drawn from the expenses typically allocated to marketing, public relations, packaging, promotion, and legal departments, will be allocated, in advance, as a top of the line “Community Investment” item.

Key components of this campaign are:

Community focused word of mouth market velocity generation

Digital based market research, promotion, and distribution

The Gifting phenomenon associated with the ‘hard to buy for’ consumer, specifically, the Cultural Creatives.

Refocusing and extending the ‘helping’ nature of the primary core consumer group, women between 25 and 60, who account for nearly 75% of all retail household purchasing, and nearly 80% of all charitable contributions under 100.00 US.

Leveraging of the intergenerational matrix of communications, among women, and providing means of accessing that matrix through digital community technologies.

Structure of the enterprise: This is a for profit association of media, music, development, and distribution/marketing enterprises, entering into project focused campaign to raise money for Good Causes around the world. Utilizing a Marketing Activism template, we will focus our efforts in responding to the current world situations, and providing a continuing, and evolving organic means of support centers, available through digital and electronic communities.

All funds will be made available, at the conclusion of the campaigns, which usually will run for 100 days, in the form of a grant. In some cases, such as the Ebay Giving Works campaign auctions, will be diverted upon conversion(sale) to the registered good cause of note.

The ground breaking approach to funding will ensure a continuous stream of revenues, drawn from the retail sector activity, and allocated in a Pay Forward mode, to eligible good causes.

For further information on this campaign, connect with this online journal(blog) where our progress will be updated as we continue to develop this new economic and business model.
