The Commemorative Company (Commemco) is a valuable resource for historical research because the economic impact of significant community anniversaries can be profound. "Knowledge is power" when it comes to identifying this potentially lucrative target market.
Our plan is to add a commemorative anniversary database to this Web site and allow access to that database by subscription. Initially, we will add the information for the State of Florida (state, counties, municipalities), and the information will be color-coded based on the year of the significant anniversary (divisible by 25) in relation to the year of the report.
The color coding will show anniversaries that will happen right now (the year of the report), next year, the year after that, and the year after that, which will enable enough lead time to go after the celebration-related business.
Example: if the year of the report is 2009, then anniversaries that will happen during 2009 will show up in red, anniversaries that will happen during 2010 will show up in gold, anniversaries that will happen during 2011 will show up in green, and anniversaries that will happen during 2012 will show up in blue. When the year of the report is changed, then all of the color coding will also change.
We also recommend that you look into other projects taking place at Young Ideas.
