LeasesAndLoans.com
out of business |
| LeaseAndLoans.com was a start-up venture to provide best-in-class loan servicing for industrial/commercial/agricultural equipment purchasing, specifically tailored to minimize the application to approval to purchase delays. I served as V.P. of Technical Services and created the technical visions for the business plans. The website was active for a brief period with the initial version of the application process. |

| Designed and maintained online catalog of telecommunications headsets and accessories. Site provided a web-based sales documentation system for a small team of equipment resellers. The site was updated periodically with new product information and photographs and provided very good access to data/specifications by vendor, product type, and compatibility. Progressive Communications was purchased by CallOne, Inc. |

The creative forces behind these efforts have also produced two active start-up businesses. These are both operating as business entities of Set Sail Communications, LLC.
|
| INSETCARDS™ - www.insetcards.com |
Insetcards produces dramatic direct-mail advertising postcards that contain collectible / trading cards. The "Collectible-Ads" products combine the visually compelling look of a postcard with a unique, removable "inset" card for long-term promotions. The design and processes are patent-pending and better yet quite innovative, yielding an advertisement that you truly have to see. |
| TRIPCARDS® - www.tripcards.com |
Tripcards are postcards that advertise travel opportunites. Travel postcards are common, meaning that we all recognize one when we see it. But they are far more impactful than most any direct-mail item you ever receive. The beauty of the location, the attraction of the activity, and the possibility of being there and being that happy give us an emotional connection. Travel providers and agents can bring you that same feeling when they offer you the opportunity to consider a trip with them. Tripcards produces and manufactures stunning postcards which are personalized and easily co-branded by travel providers and agents. |
