2010: SLIM FAMOUS NOW
People are still talking!
"Contracting Brent Beckett for our company was a breath of fresh air. He is not intimidated by the start-up process, but rather challenged by it. He developed a strategic plan and new identity for us that created more contacts and accounts than we have ever had. In addition to networking and brand development Brent literally took to the streets with flyers and information promoting our product. He was able to bring us success and save us thousands of dollars in the process. Many Thanks To Brent!"

 I am proud to announce this year as the Tenth Anniversary Year for Slim Famous. Slim Famous has constantly evolved during this time making the question of 'what exactly do you do?' a challenging one to answer. What I do is unique and uncommon, but I do it for a very common reason. Everyone has an idea they believe has value. Making the second most common question I am asked: 'Can I pick your brain?' In addition to countless conversations about business and product development and helping dozens of entrepreneurs launch their products and start a business I have been asked to teach the fundamentals of entrepreneurialism to college students, consult with executives on how to restructure their companies, write monthly editorials, conduct seminars in high schools, be an advisor to young professional organizations, guest speak on radio and television programs, judge invention contests and 'coach' a group of business 'coaches.' Knowledge has become the most demanded Slim Famous product.
Regardless if we are creating fun dog toys, high tech Internet products or speaking to a group of ambitious high school students the basic objectives have remained at the forefront of 'what I do:
To develop Slim Famous Original products and services
To help others develop and promote their own products and services
Slim Famous will continue to be a one-of-a-kind company with a 100% track record of success based on the 'knack' for understanding how to precisely and properly develop an idea as a quality and marketable product or service. In a world with limitless opportunity and ideas ten years is only the beginning!
WE ROLL INTO 2010 with momentum created in 2009, our tenth and most successful year so far. This past year provided Slim Famous the opportunity to continue showcasing our abilities as producers and promoters of innovative products and businesses, proving again we successfully bring original ideas from concept to the international marketplace. Through the vision and guidance of Brent Beckett, Slim Famous maintains a 100% record of success. We have never failed a client or ourselves.
 SLIM FAMOUS is nothing if not daring and contemporary and this year is on pace to be another successful and exciting one for us. We started the year on the heels of another strong kiosk venture in New Hampshire and Maine Malls during the 2009 -holiday season.
 We are starting this year with focus on the Slim Famous Original idea for The Cowboy Coastline. Life-long influences inspired this brainstorm five years ago, but only now is the essence of this brand clear and the timing right. We are very excited and confident The Cowboy Coastline will be our most successful product line yet.
 We are STILL THINKING and 'Think What You Want' continues to receive overwhelming consumer interest and media attention. The thought provoking line was featured in the 'Portsmouth Magazine' Christmas guide and the 'money' section of the 'Portsmouth Herald.' It has also been accepted as a feature product at the famous Minturn Market in Colorado. Originally conceived as a universal logo for Non-Profit organizations such as Alzheimer's, Autism and cancer it is our objective this year to align it with one of these important organizations.
 2010 will bring about Brent's first book 'How To Run A Lemonade Stand: The Simple Squeeze On Starting A Business.' The concept of the book stems from his original approach to helping entrepreneurs fully understand the brand development and business start up process. Brent's writing and reputation is earning him invitations to speak to students and business people throughout New England. One teacher recently commented how 'amazing' it was that her students grasped the lemonade metaphor as it pertains to simplifying business.
 We immediately embraced the concept of NETBLOX as a new technical device and properly determined the brand development strategy that created international attention within six months. After out start in February NETBLOX had caught the attention of cable companies including Comcast and Cox, professional athletes and the Red Sox Organization, politicians, lawmakers and a broad spectrum of the media including P.C. Magazine. Several companies such as Life Lock and Net sweeper pursued buy-out and partnership possibilities. NETBLOX is currently in private negotiations.
