Marlo Entertainment, through its Film, Television, Animation, New Media, Music and Gaming divisions, is dedicated to financing, acquiring, developing, producing and distributing quality products to three of the largest and fastest growing entertainment consuming audiences in the U.S., the Hispanic, African-American and Asian-American populations.

The audience for entertainment products is far more diverse today, and “minority” audiences a lot more lucrative, than the industry has given them credit.

The liquide come from the Roof by a Pomp or by Gravity. The liquide that we use can be rain water mixe with other product. The durty liquide go directly to a other contenant to keep the wall of the building clean. For the city that have cold weather the liquide will be a liquide at -40 degree to keep the system in fonction that will not frose the tubing alimentation of liquide. We can install Magic eye to stop the system automatically if there is a window open. The price structure go by the size and with the choice of energy system that we will use. The installation cost go by time. The price for service after sale work for how long they wanted and to give a very good after sale service. One other good point it's the bird will not stay any more on window panel and this should keep the window clean for longer. But Window Washing System dose not recommand to use this system in winter time because it could broke with the ice or short the life durability of the product. This system is all automatic and do a fantastic job of cleaning as proffessional . In a record of speed all your window exterior are clean with a simple press control,Save Time,Save Life,Save Cost and the building look always clean. With this system it reduce the time laber and make a facility to secure the bottom of the building access. This system should reduce price of insurance of owner of building and a better satisfaction to the client that would have this system. TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction : This information summary relate to a product idea called "WINDOW WASHING SYSTEM " In preparing the Basic Information, we utilize standard statistical data whit a heavy orientation on material prepared by the U.S. Department of Commerce and the bureau of the Census.I attempt to supplement this data with more specialized information available from other basic marketing reference works,trade association,trade publications,libraries,and other sources. PRODUCT CONCEPT REVIEW Description : In this Information Summary relates to a product idea called "window washing system" ,we will review the distinctive feature of the product idea and the needs it may fulfill.The concept of "window washing system" is a system that clean exterior surfaces of windows in multistory commercial structures.It would consist of a transverse-oriented squeegee assembly that would include a metal housing and rubber wiper element. Its outer end would be pivotally attached to spring-loaded brackets that would,in turn, be linked to vertically oriented cables.These cable would be linked via a system of axle-mounted pulleys to a electric motor.The upper end of the unit would be equipped with a system that spray liquid cleaning agent on the outer surface of the window.Operation could be regulated via a simple on/off switch that would be mounted in the interior of the building in question. FUNCTION AND APPEALING FEATURES : I suggested this new concept idea because I believes it would be fulfill the need for an automated means of cleaning the windows of high-rise structures. The appealing feature of "WINDOW WASHING SYSTEM" would be ease of operation,efficiency,and safety.This system would eliminate the need for scaffold-based window washing crews for this purpose,thereby reducing labor cost and preventing accident and pedestrian traffic interruptions associated with this form of maintenance.It would be relatively easy to operate.Keep windows looking clean and clear for an extended period of time. Easy to install.Speed up the process of cleaning hard-to-reach windows. DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT : Additional research and development would likely relate to determining the final specifications for it various components,as well as the actual design of its liquid cleaner sprayer system.A proven performance,documented trough controlled testing,could greatly enhance user appeal.Of particular concern would be its overall durability to give a good warranty to costumer to a quality product.Different building and different windows , different machine. PACKAGING : "Window washing system"could be packaged in a corrugated cardboard,self-shipping box.The package could have a label printed in 3 colors blue, red,and white.A small pamphlet included in each package detailing instructions for assembly or installation,as well as operation and maintenance. Small components,such as assembly fasteners,could be additionally package in heat-sealed plastic bags. The size of the machine depend of the costumer many canded of packaging possible. COST ESTIMATES : A wide range of factors influence the selling price,distribution channel markup,and unit cost of a product.The large number of variables and their fluctuations make a lots of variables price. Example price: Manufacturing cost : window 4x8 = $ 52.50 to $ 125.00 per unit Wholesale price : window 4x8 = $ 125.00 to $ 225.00 per unit Sales price : window 4x8 = $ 225.00 to $ 450.00 per unit This estimated pricing structure would be exclusive of installation costs,which could be highly variable.Of course, production in various sizes and the use of varied materials and processes would suggest corresponding variations in this estimated pricing structure. FORMATION OF THE INSTALATOR : This is a UNIQUE product as any new product we have to think to the formation of installator and the right laber crews. At the moment in my experience the best crew to install the machine would be the man who are washing windows all ready in high-rise building. The reason is simple,They have all ready expertise in scaffolding,and we need this machine all ready on each roof of huge building. The most interesting in this project ("we gone sale them sector area of installation all over the United States "). We sale sector area of installation and we make other profits, the price as to be determined . BENEFITS,APPEALS,AND TRENDS : Many factors influence the acceptance of a product in the marketplace. Two of the major factors relate to the needs a product fulfill ( THE BENEFITS ) and a desire to own that product ( THE APPEAL AND/OR A COMBINATION OF THESE FACTORS ). At present, the exterior surfaces of high-rise building windows must be accessed for cleaning through the use of scaffolds or bosun chairs. Such devices can not be used during periods of inclement weather and can also be fairly dangerous during even calm,sunny days. In many cases,their use can result in the need to cordon off a sizeable portion of the sidewalk below,thereby interfering with the overall accessibility of a structure. The " window washing system " has been conceived as a solution to these problems. The janitorial or maintenance staff of a building could safely operate this mechanism from inside.As a result, this system could help reduce labor cost. As well as permit windows to be cleaned more frequently and irrespective of inclement weather. And also should help reduce insurance costs.

Zeel creates new marketing channels by rewarding consumers for promoting their favorite brands to each other. With broadcast advertising in decline, the online ad market will double by 2011, growing to $50 billion. By 2012, Zeel will exceed $100 million in sales, capitalizing on the nexus of the major Internet marketing trends: online video, user-generated content and social channels of distribution.

On 7/29, Zeel launched WildPitch.TV™, a video-sharing website where consumers create and upload homemade “commercials” for popular products or brands. The videos compete on the site for votes and rewards. In its first week, WildPitch tripled its membership and recorded thousands of user votes.

Zeel was founded by Dan Berger, an online incentive marketing pioneer, and benefits from an exceptional management and advisory team, including senior executives from Cybergold, MyPoints.com, Amazon, and Virgin Mobile.

At Cybergold, Mr. Berger built a base of 7 million consumers and increased revenues 10-fold. Cybergold went public in 1999 and was acquired in 2000 for $160M by MyPoints.com. As CEO of SalesDriver.com, Mr. Berger raised $6.5M in VC funding, managed operations from product launch to cash-positive, and sold SalesDriver to Carlson Marketing.

Zeel is seeking an investment of $250,000 to expand marketing of WildPitch.TV to advertisers, develop its Facebook and mobile applications (Q1/09), and solidify the management team.

RealVideo Campsites

Mon, 25 Aug 2008 10:21:48 -0700

Pitched by Keith Bennett in Hospitality and Travel

Online Video Directory of RV Campsites

A new method of showing RV campgrounds to RVers is being launched in the summer of 2008. RealVideo Campsites are Internet based videos of RV campsites, that show key areas of importance to prospective visitors.

Now the prospective visitor can actually see what key areas of importance look like; the restrooms and showers, how close together or far apart sites are from each other, facilities such as laundry, store and game rooms can be viewed and measured against needs.

The hyperlink to the RV campground will allow the visitor to go to the campground’s web site for specific information, such as address, rates, maps, toll free numbers, etc. We also provide a link to Google Maps, so the RVer can get an aerial view of the campsite and surroundings. If provided, we list the GPS coordinates, for those of us who gave up on maps.

Because we use videos via the Internet, it is easy for subscribing campsites to change their message. If a campground wants to highlight a new facility or new service, we will update their listing. Campgrounds can even use the videos to promote business in otherwise soft months by offering 'specials' that are unique to the RealVideo Campsite web site, thereby being able to measure the success of the offer and video on RealVideo Campsites. RealVideo Campsites will always be free to the RVers.
