Business Proposal : Invitation to Sell the North Pole

"Once there were 5 claims to the North Pole. Now there are more than 1500 claims made by ordinary citizens who joined me to take over the North Pole AND its huge oil- and gas reserves ourselves "

Harald van Reenen, the First Person in the World who has Claimed the North Pole.

Why should you want to sell the North Pole certificates?  

A product that sells should solve a problem. So here's your problem: what present to buy for the person who already has everything?

A book? A CD? Wow! The one who receives that gift will see from a mile's distance you give them a book - again. I bet when you give them the North Pole gift certificate they remember it even a year later. People will certainly talk about this remarkable gift. That's a feat for a simple present!

Your customer buys the North Pole Package which includes their own personilised claim to the North Pole. The claim becomes part of "The International People's Claim to the North pole".

How did I come up with this idea?

I was greatly inspired by Dennis Hope who says he owns the moon and the rest fo the universe. You may call him nuts, I call him brilliant: since the eigthies he's selling pieces of the moon to customers and makes at least a million dollars a year.

Just like the MOON BUSINESS or the NAME-A-STAR-BUSINESS the selling of these North Pole certificates can grow into a multi-million dollar business as well.

Advantages when you sell the North Pole Packages:

It's unique (e.g. no competition), free media interest, product (certificate and documents) can easily be printed so you don't need to have everything in stock.

What do you need for your North Pole Claim business?

A website, various payment options for your customers on your website and a sense of humor. Well, and time to process the orders you'll receive. That's it. My company is not just fun, it's serious fun!

Who am I?

I'm Harald and I received a lot of media interest when I started out on dec- 2007 selling my North Pole Claim in the Netherlands. A week ago again I was mentioned in various Dutch media when I announced I had sold so far 1250 claims to the North Pole. Due to this its now more than 1500 claims.

Big chance you can have the same positive reaction from the press when you start selling the North Pole packages in your country as well.

“I would however like to say how impressed we have been with the concept, the product and the marketing that you have developed”

Quote from William Folkes, Head of Retail, moonestates.com . They sell the moon in the UK, making at least 1 million pounds a year.

THE SHORT READ:

DUTCH GUY CLAIMS NORTH POLE

5 polar nations claimed the North Pole. So far nobody is owner of the North pole. They want to be owner of it due to its huge oil- and gas reserves which can be found under the melting ice sheet. 

After reading this in the newspaper I realized one day I'll have to pay for the oil they were fighting for. I thought: why wait till I have to pay for the petrol at the gas station? I decided to join them. So now there were 6 claims.  

After I claimed the North Pole and notified the polar nations and U.N. about this I started to sell North Pole claims to the Dutch public via my webshop Giantclaim. These claims become part of the "International People's Claim to the North Pole', that's the name of my claim. 

So far I didn’t pay anything for advertising. And if you’re familiar with Adwords from Google: it takes wads of money to get some customers.  With this idea you can have it for free.

It's fun, i'ts serious and it's profitable.
 

HOW IT WORKS

Buying a North Pole Package makes the buyer automatically co-owner of "The People's Claim", meaning: If our claim will ever be recognized everyone who has joined me will have their equal share in the vast profits that can be made by exploiting the Arctic.

IF (and that’s a big if as you can see) we want to exploit it. Do we want to exploit the Artic or do we want to leave the North Pole alone? The future of the North Pole should be in our hands.

If we leave it up to Poetin (or was it Medvedev?) we know what will happen to the Artic. And we are going to pay the price for this!

Why don't we take matters into our own hand? 

I started this project in December 2007 in the Netherlands. Did it catch fire? You bet!

I had a plethora of phone calls from the press just minutes after I sent out a press release. Customers thought it was a “brilliant” plan and I was inundated with orders I barely could manage.

I have no doubt you can have the same response from media AND customers when you represent me in your country.

THE BIG READ

The story

So I’m Harry (43, ex-librarian) and I’m the first person in the world who has claimed the North Pole, including its vast energy reserves which may be found under the melting ice sheet.  I filed my claim with the Library of Congress and others. 

Why?

I did this after reading an article in a newspaper  about the 5 so called Polar nations (United States, Russia, Denmark, Norway and Canada) who are all claiming the North Pole.

So far nobody owns the North Pole. I thought: why shouldn’t I as individual claim the North Pole as well? If I have to pay for the oil at the petrol station, why not claiming it myself?

Let’s face it: Whether you’re a British, Russian or an Australian citizen, we all have to pay for the rising oil prices. So to be 100 percent clear. It’s not against the citizens of these great Polar nations.

If you’re an American or a Russian , you all have to pay at the petrol station.  So why wouldn’t we as ordinary citizens claim the North Pole oil ourselves, no matter if you’re a national from the U.S, Russia (Polar nations) or from Europe or Asia?

WHY WAIT TILL WE HAVE TO PAY FOR IT? THAT DOESN’T MAKE ANY SENSE. Well not to me it did.

Sure, when your name is Roman Abramovich (Russian oil billionaire) you benefit from all this, but not when your name is John Smith (or the Russian equivalent).

That’s why I drew up a claim and notified the Polar nations about my audacious action. So now there were 6 claims to the North Pole.

I knew from the start my “layman’s claim” would not stand a chance against the United States or the Republic of Russia. But what if I was joined by other individuals, I asked myself? If, let say millions of people would join my claim? Would those in power still ignore my claim?

I decided to give it a try.

My philosophy: The more people join me the stronger my claim will be. Farfetched? Yes, but we are all voters and therefore can influence governments.

How it works:

People can join me when they buy a North Pole Claim Certificate Package. They will be registered on my International database system as a claimant to the North Pole, joining me as the Master Claim holder of The International People’s Claim to the North Pole, that’s the name of my claim.

Those who join me become “co-owner” of my claim. Meaning,  everyone who has joined me will have a fair share of those profits once our claim is recognized by the United Nations or any other organization that deals with the North Pole.

Did it catch on in the Netherlands?

Yes, it surely did.  As soon as I sent out a Dutch press release I was inundated with phone calls from the media. I appeared in many newspapers across the country, radio shows and on television.

Before all this happened I actually thought I would sell just something like 4 claim certificates in a month for a start, but it became to my surprise more than 400 in one day!      

It’s now 3 months later and I’m working on bringing my North Pole initiative to other countries as well.  One country has already signed up (at this moment I'm not allowed to say which country) Other countries will follow suit.

Why would you want to take my product on board?

1. The publicity around my North Pole claim reached so far only the Dutch press. The press release was written in Dutch.  Chances are that something similar can happen when a press release in your own language is sent out.

2. The North Pole Package is unique

3. It’s a perfect Christmas gift

4. The North Pole is “hot”. The melting of the North Pole will attract media attention in the next years to come.  Journalists want to report of course in a serious manner about this problem, but will also would like something  to “cheer up” their reports.

My initiative to take over the North Pole ourselves as world citizens, will certainly has its appeal to the media and to prospective customers of the North Pole certificates.   

But most of all it’s the thrilling story about one individual who takes on the most powerful nations of the world.

3 months ago there were 5 claims to the North Pole. Now, there are more than 1500 claims to the North Pole, formed by ordinary Dutch people who have enthusiastically embraced and  joined my People’s Claim to the North Pole.

Not impressive?  If only I would have started a month ago I could have sold more than 10.000 certificate packages. That’s 10.000 times 20 euro. Quite an achievement in a small country like Holland. And that’s just the beginning.

I found out it’s a perfect Christmas gift and I promise you I will be much better prepared for the next Christmas 2008.

At this moment I’m working hard to present a special North Pole package  to the Dutch retail business which will be in the shop in the last quarter of this year (Christmas) and I’m just started a few days ago to spread the North Pole Claim initiative internationally.

If you read this business proposal you’re one of the first, but not very long.

Just like the MOON BUSINESS or the NAME-A-STAR-BUSINESS- If this idea is catching on to other parts of the world the selling of these certificates will be a multi-million dollar business.

My North Pole business is greatly inspired by the MOON selling and will no problem whatsoever copy their success. It’s a license to print money (I always wanted to say that:)

I promise you this: I’m a creative guy and will use my ideas to stir up more media-interest (free) in the next years to come and that means a lot of customers for OUR business!

So now I come to the inevitable question to you:

Would YOU like to sell the North Pole certificates in your country on a commercial basis?

What you need is a website, press release and well, that's it. By the way, this article can also be sold via the retail business.  

So, if you’re enthusiastic about this initiative and seriously want to begin in 2008 to sell North Pole packages exclusively on my behalf in your own country email me at: info@giantclaim.com and let me know how you think you can be an asset for The International People’s Claim to the North Pole™

Take a look at the rest of this site how your webshop may look like. Here's the homepage.

NOTE: This is simply a concept to let you see how it can look like. By the way: the Paypal button is real so if you want to order a North Pole Package in the English language I won’t stop you:).

Looking forward to your answer and your proposal.

Yours sincerely,
