Family Discovers Amazing Part Time Profits
Carolyn and Bob Harniss of Barber-ton, Ohio had good jobs — he managed an office supply warehouse store and she was a receptionist at an insurance company. After four years of marriage, they were living well but not extravagantly, saving some money but still a long way away from having the money needed for a down payment on a new home.
One day, Carolyn found an ad of U.S. Gold Chain in Money Making Opportunities Magazine. This company's "Gold By The Inch" business opportunity sounded good to her so she tore out the ad and showed it to her husband. She says, "I told Bob that everyone loves gold jewelry. 1 think it would be easy to sell this gold in lots of different ways. Maybe we could make enough money with this business to buy a new home."
Although Bob was a little skeptical about the whole idea, they sent for the catalog and then, after looking it over, sent for the $399.00 Starter Kit. "Frankly, I went along at Carolyn's insistence," Bob admits. "I figured if worst came to worst, we could sell enough of the chains to friends and people we knew to get our money back and then give the rest away as gifts."
When the Starter Kit arrived a few days later, Bob changed his mind. "I was surprised to find everything needed to operate this as a real business. There was even a video tape that showed us exactly how to mata the chain and how easy it is to sell it." In the Starter Kit, U.S. Gold Chain provides 12 spools of the most popular styles of beautiful gold-layered chains, the clasps and tools to create the jewelry on the spot, a large, atten-tion-getling sign plus Manufacturers Lifetime Guarantee Certificates for the customers! The kit, which costs only 5399.00, has enough inventory in it to produce over $3,000 in profits'for the Distributor.
On the first weekend after receiving the Starter Kit, Carolyn and Bob went out to a swap meet in their area. Carolyn recalls, "We were iust amazed at the interest that people had in Gold By The Inch. There was a crowd of people around our booth from mid-mnrning to the end of the day."
"My fingers were actually a little sore from making the chains," Bob says, "but I didn't care. We sold over
S450 worth of chains that weekend. Because of the huge markup on Gold By The Inch, that represented about $400 in clear profits for us. About $200 a day! We had recovered our entire investment and still had a large inventory of chains to sell."
Bob and Carolyn had dinner on Sunday with her parents and her father commented that he had never heard of a business you could start that easily and recover your start-up costs so quickly. He then called a friend who owned a greeting card store in a local shopping mall and arranged a meeting between Carolyn ana Bob with this man. That led to them putting a Gold By The Inch setup in the front of that store and the following weekend, they sold nearly $1,000 worth of chains. When Carolyn's father saw how well they did, he had to get involved. Now they have two and sometimes three locations operating almost every weekend. Carolyn explains, "Bob, I, my Dad and sometimes my younger brother work the locations and share the profits."
"We've been Gold By The Inch distributors for almost a year and we've put over $11,000 into the savings account for the down-payment on our house. We're going to buy our new home early next year," says Bob. In the meantime, Carolyn has quit her job and is devoting her time to managing and expanding the business. Both Carolyn and Bob agree that this has been the best move they have ever made!
Gold By The Inch distributors did over $20,000.000 worth of business last year and they have only scratched the surface of the demand for gold chains. There is still a ground floor opportunity open with US. Gold Chain, a major force in the quality costume jewelry field.

ful. Roger Craig and Joe Montana of the San Francisco 49ers football team have both stated that they rely on chiropractors to keep them healthy. Any chiropractor not utilizing this is just plain dumb.
When marketing on a national scale, you need nationally known celebrities, but when marketing locally, a local personality is just about equal in impact but usually a lot easier and less costly to get Two different chains of weight-loss clinics use the identical strategy of paying local radio disc jockeys and talk-show hosts to lose weight in their clinics, then serve as spokespersons in the commercials, giving personal testimony. This has proven extraordinarily effective for both companies.
In our market, I've seen a restaurant using the endorsement of a very popular former governor, car dealers using football players, a bank using a football coach, and a chiropractor using a woman rodeo star.
Keep in mind that there are different ways to be a celebrity. A person can be instantly recognizable because of his face, such as a famous TV personality. Or a person might go unrecognized in a crowd but still have celebrity value based on who they are and what they do. Ford Motor Company was able to use former auto racing champion Jackie Stewart very effectively, even though you'd probably bump into him on the street and not know him. Even people who are not instantly recognizable visually or by name can still lend celebrity value and credibility to a marketing message once it is explained who they are.
How many of these names are instantly recognizable to you: Joan Quigley, Walter Annenberg, Brendan Suhr, Robert Parker, Linda Thompson? If you got even one of them, you're sharper than most Still, by telling you who they are, I can use each of them effectively in certain marketing messages.
Joan Quigley was Nancy Reagan's astrologer. I worked on an "info-mercial" featuring Joan, promoting books and cassettes about astrology. Walter Annenberg is the publisher of Parade Magazine, which millions of families receive with their Sunday newspapers. Walter is a rags-to-riches Horatio Alger, discouraged from reading as a child, and now a dynamic spokesperson for literacy. Walter could be very effectively used in marketing a book club membership, raising funds for public television, or, as I suggested this year, on an "info-mercial" marketing an adult learn-to-read course. Brendan Suhr is the assistant head coach of the Detroit Pistons and could be used in marketing sports equipment, athletic shoes or even, as I've used him, in promoting a self-improvement course. Robert Parker is the author of the famous "Spenser" detective novels, on which the TV series starring Robert Urich was based. Parker would be an excellent personality to build a solve-a-mystery cruise package around. Linda Thompson is a very successful TV producer; her credits include producing the hit show Designing Women. Linda could be used in marketing some kind of how-to-break-into-show-business product or a career success product for women.
In the production of TV "info-mercials" I've worked with Florence Henderson, famous as the Mom of The Brady Bunch, Chris Robinson, probably best known for his eight-year stint as Dr. Eric Webber on the soap General Hospital, Gloria Loring, also a soap-opera actress; Robb Weller, long-time host of Entertainment Tonight, and others. In marketing local projects, I've worked with local radio and television personalities in several cities. With only a few notable exceptions not named here, I've found both the celebrities and their agents to be pretty cooperative and pleasant to work with. Each of the ones I've named especially impressed me with his or her professionalism, ability, and sincere commitment to producing an effective project.
If you are seeking the services of a local celebrity, you can usually contact the person directly, or your advertising agency can track the person down for you and make a proposal to them. Many national celebrities can be found listed in the directories of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts.* Or you can contact one of the big talent agencies, such as the William Morris Agency in Los Angeles.
