I believe the Virgin store in Times Square would be just the kind of... err... exposure... Sir Richard would respond to.

thanks georgeA!

and, swaynester, i will see what i can do with my brother. he`s not partial to the whole short skirt thing... but is often willing to "take one for the team".

Rich,

 

It`s been a couple of weeks.  Any luck?  What else can we do?

sir richard has been elusive.

translation: it`s a matter of time (and technique)

rather than distract you guys from your entrepreneurial plans, leave this one up to us (me), and expect good things in the next month.

stay tuned...

Rich,

You own a media company and Branson likes media exposure. Offer to advertise Virgin products on your nationally syndicated radio show in exchange for him coming on your talk show. Talk to Virgins PR department and let them know you can promote whatever they are currently pushing in the Virgin family of companies. Make sure you announce that you are with the media when you contact the PR department. 

I did a post earlier today on the benefits of being a media branded company.  Your other alternative is to find the marketing company that has contacts with Branson and offer to advertise the marketing company on your show in exchange for them getting Branson for you.

You pretty much have the power to get whatever you want since you have thousands of listeners.

These are some great thoughts...I too had been thinking about the radio idea. 
Perhaps our next  contest includes trip to London via Virgin...for the Entrepreneur who has done something wild to get his/her business started...

laurie,

can you just do it for me... isn`t that the most efficient way of all?!?!

(love your help and reality check)

off to see the wizard...
