"ONE
OF OUR UK DEALERS" |
|
| Photoblocker
UK
was formed in mid July 2004, which
was when we discovered
PhotoBlockerTM
Spray, initially we purchased just
100 cans of Photoblocker.
Soon
after placing our first order
we placed our second order consisting
of 150 PhotoBlockerTM
.
By the time September arrived
we had purchased over 4000 units.
We identified the huge potential
PhotoBlockerTM
had in the UK so we took the decision
to take a huge leap forward in
terms of our commitment and investment
to selling
PhotoBlockerTM
Spray
by negotiating the Exclusive UK
and Ireland Distribution Rights
with Phantomplate
Inc, which was signed on 22nd
September 2004. This deal authorises
us to both distribute and appoint
new dealers throughout the UK
and Ireland
To
become successful we needed to
find different ways in which to
market
PhotoBlockerTM
taking into account the purpose
of the product. Our marketing
campagne started firstly with
a roadside ad then we gained media
exposure appearing in the national
press and on radio. It didn't
take long before the media started
to come to us appearing on BBC
television, Sky television and
Irish television RTE1
The resulting media exposure made
PhotoBlockerTM
a household name that resulted
in a massive increase in sales.
In fact since our very first order
we have now placed orders of over
20,000 units. Our current marketing
continues with appearances at
the UK's largest indoor trade
show the Ideal Home Show www.idealhomeshow.co.uk
running from March 3rd to March
28th. We have also struck a deal
to sponsor an across Europe rally
called The Extreme Sun Run www.extremesunrun.com
. We also expect to finalise a
couple more sponsorship deals
by July 2005. We will also be
exhibiting PhotoBlockerTM
at a number of race meetings throughout
the summer. We have also managed
to gain the attention of some
of the UK's Radar Detector distributors
who are selling PhotoBlockerTM
alongside such names as Snooper
and Road Angel.
We
started out with an initial investment
of £1000 and 85 units, which
has grown to over 20,000 units
to date and with predicted future
sales over the next 12 months
to reach over 50,000 units.
PhotoBlockerTM
is the fastest selling auto accessory
in the UK. The impact of this
is that we appoint new dealers
virtually every day who can see
the potential PhotoBlockerTM
has
to offer. In return we provide
our dealers with a unique product
at fair trade prices and all the
backup they need to become successful.
If we are successful so our dealers
will become successful. We don't
just see ourselves as suppliers
but as part of a very important
team working very closely with
all our authorised dealers.
We would like to take this opportunity
to thank all the staff at Phantomplate
for all their support and encouragement.

EAST
OVER AUTO SUPPLY is
located in Oxon Hill Maryland
and has a delivery truck fleet
of 11 vehicles. The arrival of
traffic cameras (speed and red
light) posed a great problem for
Eastover Auto and its drivers.
After over 20 years of operating
with an immaculate record, there
was a change in their operation.
In the period of twelve months
the store had received “Unjust”
traffic camera fines in excess
of $1,200.00.The issue of traffic
cameras presented a dilemma for
the store. If they continued forcing
the drivers to pay, the store
risked losing valuable employees.
The drivers were quite frustrated
when faced with the prospect of
working an entire day and having
nothing to show for it.
The owner of the store, Will
Foreman, saw a  spot
on the 11 o’clock news featuring
PhotoBlockerTM
SPRAY- a solution for
a major problem, while at the
same time an “incredible
opportunity.” He
then went on line, researched
PhotoBlockerTM
and immediately ordered enough
for his fleet and also decided
to make it available to the store’s
customers.Purchasing
PhotoBlockerTM
SPRAY was Foreman’s
solution to a major problem. It
also created an excellent opportunity.
Eastover’s customers experiencing
the same frustration with speed
and red-light cameras were elated
when they discovered the store
carried PhotoBlockerTM
Spray. Customers began spreading
the word that the product worked,
and that it was available locally.
The profit margin PhotoBlocker
generates for Eastover Auto Supply
now surpasses all items found
on a typical Auto Parts Store.
Unlike those other lines, (starters,
alternators, axles, exhaust, etc.)
PhotoBlockerTM
does not require a tremendous
investment in space, shelving,
and inventory and margins are
100% bigger.In a few months, PhotoBlockerTM
has saved the store hundreds of
dollars in fines, but much more
importantly, generated over $65,000.00
in sales. Foreman is thrilled
to carry PhotoBlockerTM
and projects sales to considerably
increase up to $250,000.00 within
the next year or so. He claims
“Our customers are grateful
to us for making the product available.”
A satisfied customer is the best
sales person a store can have.
Foreman indicates the only problem
they have experienced with selling
PhotoBlockerTM
is keeping the shelf stocked.

WEST
COAST STYLING & AUDIO
Rhyl, North Wales,United Kingdom
WEST COAST STYLING & AUDIO
of Rhyl North Wales are a new
outlet who were looking to find
new and original products to stock
in their car accessory shop when
they came upon PhotoBlockerTM
. |
After
initial enquiries it soon became
apparent the potential this product
had to offer in terms of potential
sales. With an increase in speed
cameras throughout the UK and
Ireland together with the increase
in drivers being issued with fixed
penalty tickets and points against
their licence West Coast Styling
& Audio became dealers.
“We
ordered 100 cans initially but
sold these within 2 weeks. Once
word spread sales increased to
300 cans by the end of the first
month generating much welcomed
income to over £6000.
We expect this to continue simply
because it’s a cost effective
product, which really works. Drivers
all over the country are resentful
of speed cameras but what’s
interesting is that our shop is
aimed at the young driver yet
because of PhotoBlockerTM
s
appeal we are getting more mature
drivers coming into the shop,
which surprised us really”.
“Another spin off selling
PhotoBlockerTM
is that it’s brought customers
into our shop who otherwise may
not have entered which has also
generated other sales within our
normal business of selling high
quality auto accessories”.
Thanks to PhotoBlockerTM
our business has increased its
customer base and generated much
welcomed extra turnover, it’s
amazing”. |
