Lofton Bay Company

We are the Lofton Bay Company (dba: Big Red Octopus Marketing), a start-up B2B Marketing and Sales agency that specializes in helping “Hispanics and Low-Income Families” directly connect with local goods and services at discounted rates through our unique and custom designed “Big Red Octopus Kiosk Stations” in North Carolina. (Capital needed to develop and manage~10 stations ~ in 10 locations first year of operations) We are seeking $225,000 investment for 15% ownership (open to options) in a $1.2+ million a year business model. (see business plan for full details – extremely exciting!)

The United States is currently the second largest Spanish-speaking country, after Mexico. U.S. Hispanics make up about 17.4% of the total US population and represent $1.5 trillion in purchasing power.  

North Carolina Hispanic population grew to just over 1 million people (25% of total residents) in 2019-2020 and contributed over $9 billion to local economies. It is expected to increase by 8 -11% by 2025.

Our business revenue model is very conservative to capture $1.2+ Million of local Hispanic and low-income market shares in North Carolina by 2021-2022. Expansion to grow by 80% to 100% by 2025 is very achievable because business model can be duplicated and applied to any local Hispanic community ~ in any state!

“We have developed a ~ “Old School-meets-New School” ~ Kiosk Marketing Station that will accelerate the buyers’ journey ~ from initial product awareness ~ right through to first purchase”

Our concept is incredibly unique by the way we have designed our “Big Red Octopus Kiosk Stations” to be strategically located in VERY selected “untapped Hispanic Markets!”  Each Kiosk is specifically design to a single demographic location. We then sell “multiple media packets” to local small to midsize businesses (within 10+/- miles) of each Kiosk to directly-link consumers to their goods and services at discounted rates. Each Kiosk will co-op with local city agencies/services and be a communitive information source to help ‘New Hispanic Residences and local families” connect to cultural products, services, and events. “Big Red Octopus Stations” are web based operated and fully compatible with any mobile device. Additional capabilities include: Custom printed gift cards, promotion certificates, tickets to events, Western Union money transfers and software is expandable to offer multiple new services. 

We have no direct competition in our “Big Red Octopus Stations” concept, but we will be bidding for the same share of advertising dollars each business will spend per year. Our packages offer a full turn-key marketing plan at monthly/yearly rates that are lower than average market pricing. Largest Return-On-Investment for each advertising partner.

We have sourced two manufacturing companies in China to custom produce the LCD Advertising Digital Kiosk machines and working with a local software company for programming in Window/Android CMS software development.
