Joint Venture Opportunities

" Our goal is to establish the largest on-line tourism photo library on Australia, South-east Asia and the South Pacific and to build a publishing empire spanning the entire region that specialises in producing high quality photographic souvenir and travel publications."  

- David Kirkland

 

David Kirkland is seeking a joint venture partner or partners to accelerate his plans to establish the largest on-line tourism photo library on Australia, South-east Asia and the South Pacific. It is anticipated the venture will also see the expansion of his publishing activities which are dedicated to producing high quality photographic souvenir and travel publications on destinations throughout the region.

BACKGROUND

Kirklandphotos.com is a relatively young and dynamic business with increasingly diverse publishing interests aimed at value-adding David's photographs. Its activities include the direct sale of David's images from his photo library and the publishing of coffee table books, souvenir books, special interest publications, posters, postcards, playing cards, bookmarks and limited edition art prints. David's interests currently span eight countries, with two new destinations being added annually.

While Kirklandphotos.com continues to successfully expand its business interests into new tourist destinations in the South Pacific and Australia, David has identified South-east Asia as a new frontier with staggering commercial potential for his work. However, he recognises additional resources - both human and financial - are needed to accelerate his ambitions for the region and realise the potential of his business.

OPPORTUNITY

Opportunities exist to become a joint  venture partner in David's business at an executive level or for an investor to become an exclusive wholesalers of David's products in countries outside of Australia.

Joint Venture Partner: At an executive level, David is seeking the resources needed to allow him to concentrate on his photography while providing for the rapid expansion of his business formula into new markets. Ideally, he is seeking to work with a publisher or the owner of an established photo library with regional or global aspirations that has a AUD$10 million annual turnover. It is envisaged such a partner would invest funds and expertise in return for equity in the overall business.

National Wholesale Opportunity: Outside of Australia, David is seeking partners based in other countries who are prepared to invest  AUD$10,000 to become exclusive national wholesalers of David's range of photographic souvenir publications. David would comprehensively photograph the country and supply a customised range of souvenir and travel publications on the destination. The partners would be responsible for distributing and marketing the products throughout their country. The investment would aim to replicate the publishing formula which is being successfully applied to other destinations photographed by David. Investors should expect to double their investment within two years and be provided with a substantial passive income on an on-going basis relative in value to the volume of tourists visiting the destination.

Such ventures have been entered into in four destinations to date - Australia, Vanuatu, Sarawak and most recently Samoa.

Consider these few points:

- Kirklandphotos.com is an established business which is capable of rapidly delivering high quality imagery and souvenir or travel orientated publications to any destination in the Asia South Pacific region.

- Demand for quality imagery and souvenir and travel publications is only likely to increase as tourism continues to grow as the world's number one export industry.

- David Kirkland's photography is very popular and increasingly sought after.

- Every single publication developed by Kirklandphotos.com has proven commercially viable in every destination in which it has been produced. The business's strategy - quite simply - is to expand its formula of success into new destinations while dominating the markets in which its products currently exist.

- The prospects for growth of new products in both existing and new destinations throughout the region are huge.

- The foundations are in place for Kirklandphotos.com to become the largest on-line photo library specialising in tourism throughout the region. Increasingly, internet technology is making this resource instantly available to publishers and markets worldwide.

- David Kirkland is committed to excelling in the field of travel photography and establishing the largest and most comprehensive on-line library of quality travel photographs on the entire Asia South Pacific region. David's name is on the business; you can be confident he will do everything he can to ensure its success.

" Every single performance indicator identified in our five year business plan has been realised; many have been exceeded. The question is not whether Kirklandphotos.com will become Asia Pacific's largest on-line photo library of tourism images, it's now a matter of how quickly the goal can be achieved and with whom we will share the adventure."
