G-bags

hey sailor

We have been getting many requests from boaters for pictures of G-bags installed in larger ocean going boats.  I have attached some pictures here to show how the bags look on several areas of the exterior of the crafts.   I have also included pictures of the tape installed so viewers can visualize what the side of the boat will look like absent the bag.  The material of the G-bag looked great against the colors chosen for the craft. We feel with the offering of colors boaters should have no problem finding a bag that will compliment their craft.  The Sandstone colored G-bag looks wonderful against the interior and exterior colors of the 2008 Sea Ray.   

Since there maybe some light variation due to the sun, plus each monitor shows the color a little bit differently, you can see the color swatch at www.G-bags.com a little clearer than these pictures.

I have been trying to get the word out as much as possible about the use of G-bags through a variety of sources.  I have been very pleased with the amount of visitors I have received after posting an ad on www.backpage.com It has been the best click though rate I have been able to capture out of all the methods I have used to promote www.g-bags.com . Conversion rate is weak, but that is to be expected, companies typically are not immediately successful and we all know I am in this for at least 2 years.  So attached is a screen shot of the classified ad on backpage.com.

latest ad on PUP

here is a picture of the latest ad that has been running on www.popupportal.com affectionately known as PUP. This site is the fastest growing camping portal on the Net. Steve has done a fantastic job in developing a site with interactive tools to help find camping locations and has brought together an incredible amount of Pop Up Camper enthusiasts into one portal. I have learned much about the lifestyle of folks that are into Pop Up’s and look forward to getting one myself soon.

widgets

I have had a busy few weeks getting the Blog together than getting it communicated out to customers and then  through the media.  All of this has been very exciting to me.  To watch this business develop and grow has been something I have wanted to do since getting my MBA back in 1995.  It is amazing how in just that short period of time the business world, communication, supply chain, information systems and global manufacturing have changed the landscape of how people do business.  If someone would have told me we would be buying items through widgets using the PayPal system I would have thought they were nuts.  Mail order catalogs were the rage up until just a few years ago.

I am going to be adding two PayPal widgets to this Blog this week.  One will be to sell Honda Element Bungee, just my way of sticking it to eBay.  I will also see about putting one in place that will sell G-bags.  I am hoping to perhaps launch the G-bags PayPal widget to some other kind souls who would add it to their Blog’s gratis.

eoc

During my exploratory phase of Element ownership I stumbled upon a discussion board that discusses the Honda Element.  The Honda Element Owners Club (EOC) has been up and running for about 6 years now.  It has grown to an amazing 25,000 plus membership.  One thing that I have discovered about the board is that in reality most people on the board have nothing in common except for the Honda Element.  It goes back to a thought I posted before, people seem to always want to come together around a cause or similar interest and will do so with people that they normally would never had had contact with.  I have watched this board pull together to help children at Christmas, to help vote for a teacher to win a prize for best teacher in a school district in Texas, and to rescue dogs in need.   

Nerdy looking cars- Yes
Compassionate - Yes

The other neat thing about the EOC board is that people in Elements like to have meet ups.  What is a meet up? Just a whole bunch of Elements converging on a parking lot and than going for a drive.  I thought I was losing my mind when I went to my first meet up in 2005, but after that first one I kind of get anxious when I don’t have one on my calendar.  Not in a bad sense of anxiousness but an anxiousness which stems from my deep morbid sense of curiosity.
