The (hi)story
o Probably like most of the new ideas (so we think), a couple of drinks always help creativity. So as it often goes in conversation around 10pm in your local pub, “Let us buy a car, no let us buy a house, no, let us buy the town!”. Here we were, the idea was so simple but no other companies offered it yet. So our goal that night was to sell the United Kingdom, county by county, town by town, village by village.
o After some research, we found out that there are actually quite a lot of towns and villages in the UK, so our goal to sell each one of them first proved to be lengthy and difficult. We decided that the platform would be the internet, but why would individuals or companies buy a town? And the answer came after another few drinks… as a business, owning your town is an extremely powerful competitive advantage and it will dramatically improve the search ranking of your own website!
o From this original idea, not only can you promote your products or services, but you will be the only one in your town who will be allowed to do so!
o We also decided to help Cancer Research by giving 5% of any incoming fee to this charity.
Who we are
o We are based in North-East England. Our goal is to find creative ideas mainly on the internet but also to make sure that we respect each other and make the world a better place. Any profit made in our activities will always be shared with charities and association to help them help others.
