I think one of the ways KT can get some return for the IPT
is a merchandising program for the IPT and its players.

Think about having a cool Earl Strickland jacket,
or Efren or Allison jacket with their likeness
embroderied on it on the back. (or your favorite player
in the IPT).

Think about a billiards credit card started with low interest
rates for buying equipment, pay for tournament expenses, etc..

Think about dolls and games for the kids.

Think about a movie about the start of the IPT.

Think about billiards shoes with cool stuff on them.

Think about new billiards video games based around the IPT.

Think about guest appearances by IPT players around the country.

This, also, could help our sport become more into the limelight, and
help elevate it ....

Fun to think of all of the possibilities for it...

I wouldnt be caught dead wearin....

My ex had a credit card with KISS on it.. weird...and everyone told him that it was childish

Think about dolls and games for the kids.

Oh wow!!! Now Barbie can date Keith McCready with the Budweiser grip!!! When she's fed up with his $hit, she can toss his ass back over to JAM & run off with Kid Delicious!!! What kind of table will she be getting in the dreamhouse???

Think about a movie about the start of the IPT.

...brought to you by the same folks at American Idol that brought you From Justin To Kelly (to video)

Think about billiards shoes with cool stuff on them.

That's right- force your kids to wear this stuff

Think about new billiards video games based around the IPT.

Hell yeah... just like Grand Theft Auto!!!! Be player, be a railbird, be a backer, find Lil' Jon's money, fight about hotel rooms... I want this game!!!!

Think about guest appearances by IPT players around the country.

I just got this mental picture of Earl not getting one of Letterman's jokes... it wasnt pretty....

This, also, could help our sport become more into the limelight, and
help elevate it ....

The higher the elevation - the thinner the air gets

Fun to think of all of the possibilities for it...

I had more fun than you did!!!!

SS9 - Some very good ideas and I am sure they are going to market the heck out of the IPT.

Straybullet - You are too funny! ROFL. Love the Letterman/Earl jibe.

No.

I'd be bad if I was caught wearing a jacket with Allison Fisher's likeness
embrodiered on the back - while wearing my 8 Ball sneakers with my Red White & Blue IPT shoe laces.
 
IPT Logo water... then you could have a differnt player each month on the label..

IPT logo Billiard gloves...

IPT logo chalk.. Masters chalk with a IPT logo for example..

that alone would make millions...

How? simple, the IPT players are going to use chalk right? and there is going to be televised events right? wouldnt you want your chalk to be the "official chalk" of the IPT? and if that didnt fly, Id have a chalk maker make chalk for me under my own label... so yeah I could make a million or two from chalk... might take awhile considering the price of chalk, but its very possible..

Think radio... its free to everyone, yet the owner of a radio station could become very wealthy...

you also remind me of someone, this ladys stove caught on fire, she called the fire dept. the fire dept said How do we get there?.... she said DUH big red truck... lol...

couldnt resist... and to me THAT was funny..

You better cut and paste that and send it to Fortune Magazine. You are a financial genius!!!

Your comparison is wrong. Of course you can make a million from anything if you sell enough of it, but it comes down to supply and demand. There is more to turning a profit than merely counting your profits. You also have implicit costs that can really catch you by surprise. If you want to be a chalk tycoon, hey - its America - live out your dream. I am a Managerial Accountant and I hear bad ideas all the time.
:D

lol, The chalk was mearly an advertising ploy, but I did show that in FACT its possible.. I proved my point didnt I? supply and demand, all players must use chalk, whitch chalk they use is preferance no doubt, quality is also a nessesity, an attractive "new" label chalk could prove to be lucrative..

Why in the heck am I talking about chalk? the millions to whitch I was refering "the Plan" has little to do with chalk.. from your head to your toes? hows that... maybe then you can get the picture... Merchandising has alot to do with everything a little to do with nothing.. no one item or slogan will get it done... you should know this.. Besides I stayed in a Holiday express inn last night.. lol

can you hear me now........good..


I had an idea once, Davison development thought it was a good idea.... to bad I was broke at the time... had something to do with shoes...
