The first slide will be of course a Clickboard. I will specifically make one just for these slides, so it will be fully capable and all aspects that I have for the Clickboard will be incorporated into this one.
The second slide will be a mock-up of the mGuanxi page that will be the Clickboard page. I will incorporate buttons that are already present throughout the site and put them into this one visual.
The third slide will be a graph and pictorial representation of the money to be made. This will include three lines. The CPM, Billing per month, and the CTR for the Clickboard.
The fourth slide will be a representations of the phone app and store app that will be needed to create the full effect of the Clickboard at point of sale and maybe a mock up of a receipt.
The fifth slide will be a representation showing the possibilities if Clickboards was incorporated into multiple local sites and all were to use the mInfo mobile service to activate all the Clickboards.
Alvin wrote me, “Quickly scanned your materials, but didn’t have time to fully dig in and digest all the materials. Would be helpful if you just sent me 5 slides telling me what you are proposing, how we could help each other and the benefits/cists to each side.”
The last part got me thinking, ‘the benefits to each side.’ My current thinking has been very one sided. I wanted him to hire me and support me as I developed and integrated Clickboards into his platform. But what do I get out of it? A salary and advertising shares? Well that is not exactly a trade. I mean I have to do business with the guy and show there is a future with my involvement and provide some measure of growth for his products.
So it struck me. I can approach Alvin saying that I want to add a Clickboard portal to your website. I could explain the benefits to him and how this will help spur his current business. But here is where the real opportunity comes in. The Clickboard portal can be added to any community site whether it be local, national, or global. People can manage their Clickboards at any and everyone of these portals no matter which website they are on. Granted each Clickboard portal will be tailored to the site that it is on and the management of the coupons will be more in line with the site they are on, but the access to all their coupons from Clickboards across the Internet is universal. And this will be key to Alvin.
Any and all Clickbaords can be redeemed using Alvin’s mGuanxi mobile media application. So now I am not stuck to supporting one website but able to grow the Clickboard portal across the web while it is hosted by other people’s websites, now all of them will be integrated for the use of one easy to use phone application, produced and manned by Alvin.
Now I just have to come up with those five slides.
This blog is about an idea. An idea in my mind. As I write this blog, I try to find the most relevant way to put forth this idea. But I am dealing with a flat service and one train of thought in each post.
I have found that most people who give me the time to sit and listen often have many questions. The reason is because this is about something that does not exist. So after my initial debriefing, there are often many questions. Slowly as I stayed centered and answer their questions, the light starts to get a little brighter, until the concept is there with them and they understand.
This blog can’t do the same thing as face to face interaction. Here I pick a topic that is most relevant to my thoughts at the moment and talk about that whether you are ready for it or not.
Another drawback of this blog is that my examples of the Clickboards are not 100% yet. So there is still a lot left to the imagination. And without me as a guide to your imagination, the idea is still left with a very fuzzy exterior with too much left not understood. Especially when I am trying to convince someone in another business that this is a great idea, without a personal touch, it is no wonder why I would be left on the back burner.
