The Commemorative Company (Commemco) is a company that pays attention to the commercial application of history. Why? Because the economic impact of significant (milestone) anniversaries can be profound. "Knowledge is power" when it comes to identifying this potentially lucrative target market.
Our plan is to create a Commemorative Anniversary Database (CAD-1) for America's States, Counties, and Municipalities, starting with the State of Florida. When that database is finished, then we plan to do another Commemorative Anniversary Database (CAD-2) for categories other than government entities that also makes good marketing sense.
The data for Florida is finished. The report shows when the State of Florida, Counties in Florida, and Municipalities in Florida will be celebrating significant (milestone) anniversaries on a year-by-year basis, starting in 2012 and ending in 2022 (11 years of information). Population figures are included (for market potential purposes) as well as what anniversaries will be celebrated when.
To give you some insight about of the size of the commemorative market in just one state, the significant (milestone) anniversary potential for Florida during the period 2012-2022 is 22,632,890 people, more or less.
If you would like to receive a hard copy of this 2012-2022 copyrighted report for Florida (11 years of information on a year-by-year basis), then please send a check for $395.00 made payable to Young Ideas. Our contact information is on the next page. If you would prefer to receive just 2012-2016 (five years of commemorative information), then please send a check for $195.00 made payable to Young Ideas.
Please be sure to include your mailing address, along with your check, so we can send you the report you want, and we would also like to have your phone number and email address for our files, so that we can notify you when the research for an additional state or states is finished.
One disclaimer: the research was done to the best of our ability using the dates of incorporation. Some communities may use a founding date instead of an incorporation date or they may use a date of acceptance by the legislature, as in the case of some counties. We will double-check our own records, but if you happen to find out about a date that is different from the one we provided, then we would greatly appreciate your sharing that with us (by email) so that we can update our data.
Note: we will also consider providing you with the information at no charge in exchange for a small percentage of sales. If this is what you want to do, then you will need to email us with an explanation of who you are, what you intend to sell, who you intend to sell it to, what you intend to sell it for, why you think it will be successful, and what kind of accounting records you will be providing us with for sales figures. We will review what you provide us with and decide if we want to participate with you in this entrepreneurial "vested interest" manner.
You may also want to look into other projects that are taking place at Young Ideas.
