So Monday night I get a call from James Greenwood, one of my business partners and the Chief Marketing Officer for Beareo Enterprises. He tells me that he's taking off for Martha's Vineyard to market the Obama banks while the President is there. He says I'm leaving with my wife at 3:00am. I go over and drop off 12 banks to him and he takes off.

Well Tuesday comes along and I get a call from him; turns out he gets our banks into a gift basket that is being presented to the President. I start having one of my sales reps start making calls to all the stores on the island and James goes and meets them in person. He took orders for hundreds of banks, sad part is there is currently only 55 in existence until next month when 10,000 arrive (most of which are accounted for already).

It's an honor to have this gentleman as one of our first customers. I think it's safe to say that he "Banks on Obama".

Reggie Brown the Obama impressionist and our spokesman, Matt Boismier our Chief Creative Officer, and I met some celebrities including Tyrese Gibson, Seth Green, and Brecken Meyer. We got invited onto the Gunnar Optiks bus and Reggie did the moon walk.

The top vinyl guys from Mind Style loved our work and promotional marketing skills. Made a lot of contacts - it was great. Now let's sell some banks

Time is passing quickly and we're nearing the launch of our Bank on Obama product. The website and order management system are underway, the marketing plans are being refined, and the product is in production. What a lengthy, but rewarding process. We are praying for a successful launch at the San Diego Comic-Con on July 23. Reggie Brown, our international spokesperson, will be making an appearance, Matt Boismier our Chief Creative Officer and character designer will be signing autographs on the first 100-units, and I will be making sure everything runs smoothly. After it's over we hope to have plenty of preorders. This is the largest project of my life, and reaching the masses with a message of savings is my goal. An artist turned entreprenuer...it feels good and I sure hope it lasts forever.

Since October, we have been producing our launch product, a designer vinyl savings bank called Bank on Obama, which is set to launch on July 23rd at the San Diego Comic-Con International.

In that short time we have assembled a diverse group of talented professionals and consultants for our executive team, including Israel “Lev” Levarek, the pioneer of the designer vinyl toy industry here in the US. We have almost completed construction of our automated order management system, and have developed an innovative marketing strategy modeled after President Obama’s Campaign. We have raised initial start up capital, secured a fulfillment house and wholesale distributors in the US and Japan, and are expecting our first large shipment of banks from Hong Kong in mid-September.

Anthony and I are almost done with the updated executive summary/business plan for Beareo Enterprises and our launch product Bank on Obama. This has been a lot of work, more than I could have ever expected. Has it been worth it? Yes. We are building not only a company, but a talented team of close professionals that will do many great things in the not so far future.

On Wednesday, May 13, Reggie Brown (the best Obama impressionist in the world) came to NYC for our Bank on Obama ad campaign photo/video shoot. Reggie was amazing - take a look at the photos and you be the judge. YouTube video ads are coming soon.
