RipStar’s Fiscal Estimates

Finance Report:

• Broke the $100 mark in both music and $100 shirt sales.
• Broke the $600 donations first quarter 2024
• Current on payments to artist with some IOUS last song production ($1700) with $500 paid. 
• Rob's IOU for UK bloke past productions plus his parts and direction TBD. 

Ongoing Activities:

• ·         Total past years sponsor contributions in services estimated $15,200 
• ·         FB pages Power in Number 230 members. Mad Poet Society 220 members. 13 seats filled on Art Tour of 25. 100 songs target fundraising 10K over next 24- months. 
• ·         Prioritizing tracks to make or re-work. Also booking artists for every two month installation timelines.
• ·        Photo Services Added

·         Extensive and detailed business plan needs to be updated.  The plan calls for making over 5 Million viewers up from past 1M total all media combined (last 20 years).  The plan is also concerned with strategies to move passive audiences into active participants, volunteers, buyers or donors to grow revenues from past averages $2,000 a year into the neighborhood of $50,000 or more.  In the past, Ripstar’s model made venues 10x Ripstar’s take home.  The new model aims to focus less on venues and more on employing artists and creating exceptional art products (shirts) and music we can license or sell to loyal fans. Thus investing $5K a year over next 2 years is a goal as we refine products and prepare to market. 

We are completing the 100 songs and the next releases we will feature in that 5 year promotions push targeted to start in 2026 and end in 2031. At that time if we gross 100K or more we will open the label to new bands and promote other artist in our networks actively supporting UK Bloke or Art Tour.   

Art tour has resumed 2024!
