TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction : This information summary relate to a product idea called "WINDOW WASHING SYSTEM "
In preparing the Basic Information, we utilize standard statistical data whit a heavy orientation on material prepared by the U.S. Department of
Commerce and the bureau of the Census.I attempt to supplement this data with more specialized information available from other basic
marketing reference works,trade association,trade publications,libraries,and other sources. PRODUCT CONCEPT REVIEW
Description : In this Information Summary relates to a product idea called "window washing system" ,we will review the distinctive feature of the product idea
and the needs it may fulfill.The concept of "window washing system" is a system that clean exterior surfaces of windows in multistory
commercial structures.It would consist of a transverse-oriented squeegee assembly that would include a metal housing and rubber wiper element.
Its outer end would be pivotally attached to spring-loaded brackets that would,in turn, be linked to vertically oriented cables.These cable would be
linked via a system of axle-mounted pulleys to a electric motor.The upper end of the unit would be equipped with a system that spray liquid cleaning
agent on the outer surface of the window.Operation could be regulated via a simple on/off switch that would be mounted in the interior of the building in
question. FUNCTION AND APPEALING FEATURES
: I suggested this new concept idea because I believes it would be fulfill the need for an automated means of cleaning the windows of high-rise structures.
The appealing feature of "WINDOW WASHING SYSTEM" would be ease of operation,efficiency,and safety.This system would eliminate the need for
scaffold-based window washing crews for this purpose,thereby reducing labor cost and preventing accident and pedestrian traffic interruptions
associated with this form of maintenance.It would be relatively easy to operate.Keep windows looking clean and clear for an extended period of time.
Easy to install.Speed up the process of cleaning hard-to-reach windows. DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT
: Additional research and development would likely relate to determining the final specifications for it various components,as well as the actual design
of its liquid cleaner sprayer system.A proven performance,documented trough controlled testing,could greatly enhance user appeal.Of particular
concern would be its overall durability to give a good warranty to costumer to a quality product.Different building and different windows , different
machine.
PACKAGING
: "Window washing system"could be packaged in a corrugated cardboard,self-shipping box.The package could have a label printed in 3 colors blue,
red,and white.A small pamphlet included in each package detailing instructions for assembly or installation,as well as operation and maintenance.
Small components,such as assembly fasteners,could be additionally package in heat-sealed plastic bags.
The size of the machine depend of the costumer many canded of packaging possible. COST ESTIMATES
: A wide range of factors influence the selling price,distribution channel markup,and unit cost of a product.The large number of variables and their
fluctuations make a lots of variables price.
Example price: Manufacturing cost: window 4x8 = $ 52.50 to $ 125.00 per unit
Wholesale price : window 4x8 = $ 125.00 to $ 225.00 per unit
Sales price : window 4x8 = $ 225.00 to $ 450.00 per unit
This estimated pricing structure would be exclusive of installation costs,which could be highly variable.Of course, production in various sizes and
the use of varied materials and processes would suggest corresponding variations in this estimated pricing structure. FORMATION OF THE INSTALATOR : This is a UNIQUE product as any new product we have to think to the formation of installator and the right laber crews.
At the moment in my experience the best crew to install the machine would be the man who are washing windows all ready in high-rise building.
The reason is simple,They have all ready expertise in scaffolding,and we need this machine all ready on each roof of huge building.
The most interesting in this project ("we gone sale them sector area of installation all over the United States ").
We sale sector area of installation and we make other profits, the price as to be determined . BENEFITS,APPEALS,AND TRENDS : Many factors influence the acceptance of a product in the marketplace.
Two of the major factors relate to the needs a product fulfill ( THE BENEFITS ) and a desire to own that product
( THE APPEAL AND/OR A COMBINATION OF THESE FACTORS ).
At present, the exterior surfaces of high-rise building windows must be accessed for cleaning through the use of scaffolds or bosun chairs.
Such devices can not be used during periods of inclement weather and can also be fairly dangerous during even calm,sunny days.
In many cases,their use can result in the need to cordon off a sizeable portion of the sidewalk below,thereby interfering with the overall
accessibility of a structure.
The " window washing system " has been conceived as a solution to these problems.
The janitorial or maintenance staff of a building could safely operate this mechanism from inside.As a result, this system could help reduce labor cost.
As well as permit windows to be cleaned more frequently and irrespective of inclement weather.
And also should help reduce insurance costs. MARKET TARGETS : One of the most important factors to consider in this new product development process is the size of the potential market.
The primary market would consist of owners/operator of America 6.7 million business establishment.
There are approximately 2.5 million service-related establishment.
1.6 million retail trade establishment.
658,000 construction establishment.
650,000 financial,insurance,and real estate establishments.
531,000 wholesale trade establishments.
393,000 manufacturing establishments.
295,000 public utilities,communication,and transportation establishment.
113,000 agriculture,forestry,and fishing establisment etc...
HOW MANY WINDOWS IN ALL THOSE BUILDING IMPOSSIBLE TO ...THE SECONDARY MARKET, would consist of the multi-story residential housing market.
There are a estimated 34,150,000 renter-occupied housing units in the United States.
These would include 11,178,000 single-unit dwellings,
7,565 two-to-four unit dwelling,
4,283,000 five-to-nine unit dwellings,
3,974 ten-to-19 unit dwelling,
2,903,000 20-to-49 unit dwelling,
2,920,000 50-plus unit dwelling,
1,328,000 mobile homes.
By height,we note that 2,399,000 feature a single story, 8,263,000 feature two stories, 5,877,000 feature three stories, 3,312,000
feature four to six stories,and 1,799,000 feature seven or more stories,this market could also include 10,506 condominium associations.
Juste to resume the amount of windows that make .and it should be the profit possibilities with just 4 % of the market.
And we gone install are machine on the highway sign all over the United States that's other profit possibilities. PROTECTION PATENTED U.S. 17-01-2006
11 CLAIMS OBTENED AND NOW WE GONE A SEE THE NEEDED FUNDING AND THE PROFIT FOR INVESTORS Calculate just 4% of this market sale of how many windows example 34,000,000 building multiplicate by just 10 windows by building thats my objective in 5 years.
That give you a resonable objective business plan, 340,000,000 million windows multiplicate by a $ profit on each windows minimum .
This is a approche really reasonable because we gone sale roads of installation at a minimum of $ at lease 350 roads AREA of installation all over the States.
Just with the roads AREA of installation it made in profit the budget we need to start the manufacture $ in United States .
In this project it's crutial to have the installators formed well .
On 1/1/2007 you took the VentureWorthy.com survey for your company. You should be proud of the fact that you scored in the top 5% of 100,000 companies that took the same survey! " My Award " . Angel Investors
The prototype in action on video but this prototype is not the final product we are working on it at the moment for smaller motor and to make the real machine with no noise.
This is just to show that it's working good and to make poeple understand the fonction of this invention.
The durability and the fesability!
Lets make real profit!
