Conceptualize! All you encounter here is work in progress, a shell for what could be. Once a concept or link is explored I move on to another so you'll find lots of old stuff, a few dead links and incomplete pages some unchanged since conception.

Primary Market - Retail & Consumers:
It's late September, 2006 and you're unveiling the Freedom Hanger at the MAGIC Retail Apparel Show in Las Vegas where 120,000 retail buyers will be buying Spring 07 goods from 3,5000 worldwide manufacturers including 760 booths occupied Fashion Denim vendors, some multi-billion dollar companies yet to embrace the internet's virtual power to reach customers. Interest in Blue Jeans and Denim has never been greater and our website(s) will feed fashion with passion and fascination. See more at Freedom Hanger website.

Secondary Market - Increase Durable Goods Residual Value 3%- a win win position:
The residual value of $40 billion in denim sales is only 1/10th of 1% or $400 million. Obviously consumers consider them an expenditure but we can minimize that expense. The Freedom Hanger brings $50 to $100 in wealth to each consumer visiting our websites by valuing goods currently unvalued. We can quickly create $500,000,000 ($50 each to 10 mil. consumers) in new wealth by facilitating, guaranteeing and profiting from an exchange of surplus durable goods.

5b. Creating the MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR Secondary Target Market

A $2+ billion (domestic) Secondary Residual Value Market Now Exists but potential billions remain hidden - we have spent the last 15 years researching a unique secondary demand sustained by $40+ billion in new purchases each year.
1.5 billion retail customers have ‘g’old blue jeans stuffed into drawers and closets. iLoveBlueJeans.com will bring $50, $100 or more to each and every site visitor with jeans to trade. Customers may sell or trade through our BlueJeansTrader.com program which enables customers to recoup an estimated 50% of the original purchase or put them in our JeanBank.com site.
iLoveBlueJeans.com is compatible with Ebay which weekly has 200- 250,000 pairs of jeans in auctions. Their open structure offers the opportunity to collectively represent clients that might otherwise get lost in the ocean of goods. Current Ebay pricing structure has a $1.00 per item differential between hosting on Ebay and using a compatible (us) host.
New applications - The expense of buying new clothing /blue jeans can be a psychological barrier to weight loss, especially for those on a modest budget, yet this multi-billion dollar industry offers little support and few options to assist these individuals. The overweight person, trying to feel better about a slimmer ‘self’, may splurge on ‘better’ clothing/jeans only to feel guilty about the expenditure or may be forced to op for economical ‘temporary’ jeans that do little for self-esteem. Enter the Blue Jeans Trader!

6. The size and growth rate of the Denim Market

Denim crazes have hit India, China and Russia in the last two years and the market is expected to increase 12-14%* annually. Last year total men's sales increased 15.3%* and online sales increased from $11 million to $35 million*.
Premium Denim struggles with tradition media advertising - TV, radio, newspaper and magazines are becoming more expensive and less effective.
with 99% of denim now being produced overseas the importance of marketing in our rapidly techno- sophisticated world increases daily - product savvy buyers.

7. The SALES STRATEGY - At present, there are six apparent sources of income from the primary and secondary markets. You can probably think of a few more given our data.

Customers – Entertain and offer information on buying, selling or trading current, classic and vintage jeans and related topics.
Manufacturers – advertise current styles, provide retail links and links for retailers, offer customer support and market research feedback. Manufacturers representatives are the backbone of the industry and a working factor in our site.
Retailers – direct on-line advertising of sales, announcements of new arrivals, local information (i.e.; driving directions), store overview and help, product information, industry information, etc. iLoveBlueJeans.com foresees a video package that gives a boutique in Buenos Aires or Liverpool worldwide exposure. iLoveBlueJeans.com will bring far off treasures to customers around the world.
Ebay - there were Two hundred and seventy-six thousand, three hundred and twenty-nine hits on Ebay for jeans Sunday, May 6th, 2006! None had a size guarantee. A revenue of approximately $1 per transaction by Hosting and Guaranteeing Ebay listings while reducing the Ebay in-house listing cost .
Blue Jeans Trader or our virtual Jean Bank – create wealth! Everyone wins in the most valuable and profitable segment of our website generates Sales by creating an average of $50 in value for each visitor. When they ship jeans to another they receive a credit, which they may then spend on other jeans or perhaps redeem at a retail store. Off-site hosting.
Vintage blue jeans - as physical malls abound with Chinatized brands the vintage craze, long strong in the Orient and Europe, is on catching fire around the world. How do you find them? What are they worth? Why are they worth so much? Who wants them? A Japanese magazine, features pictures of youth in their $2500 hidden rivet vintage Levi’s and $1255 1st edition Air Jordan’s. We will be that magazine online.
