Keep Your Money In A Safe Place, Buy A Plane With It

In these days when it seems like not a lot of people are in a plane buying mood, LoPresti Aviation makers of the LoPresit Fury, have created a Fury buyer-protection plan. Basically, instead of using your deposit and putting that money toward keeping the business afloat, they will have potential Fury buyers instead secure a position with a Certificate of Deposit in the customer's name.This way only the customer can access the money and it earns interest until the plane is ready. There is no penalty for canceling an order and the customer can access the CD whenever they need to. Basically it's like putting your money in a nice safe CD and then blowing it all on a plane. But hey, it's not like you were going to put it in the stock market anyway.

I agree with Fritz that just as important was how the money was spent. The $4 million for the national 30 minute ad was a great idea. Even McCain could have afforded that, it was timed for the early voting in key states (for example FL, OH, CO, OR and NC) but reached every state in the union and won news cycles. As Taniel said in previous posts McCain needed to move the dial on national opinion.
McCain contested states he never needed like WI and MN. He should have aimed for Bush 2004 states and keep losses to a minimum i.e. Iowa. by: busby seo test
