Excellent John.

TSIG/Gordon has put together a series of deals that should follow through with the marketing theory of TSIG.

TEMPO did approx 100m CDs last year. They signed another deal earlier that could raise them to approx 125m CDs this year. Starting this month, say Oct, TSIG will, acccording to Gordon and reconfirmed by myself again, be on all CDs as far as he knows. That would be over 100m CDs with about a dime each coming to TSIG. $10m+ revenue. Follow that exposure to the purchase of Cards.

Any additional deal done with TSIG involved directly creates a different revenue stream according to that deal. The number thought likely is $1/CD. Again this creates Card purchases.

Lifetime is also a self marketing source with the recommendations of Lifetime and NMF. The mailings have almost all gone out as of next week with the first mailing to the principals being done and a followup to the principals again about two weeks later. The decisions will be made over the next month or so whether to utilize the Card concept within the individual schools. Now that all schools are in session, the commitment orders should start coming in shortly.

Nettaxi should be up soon. We all know how that will work. Internet exposure to the public and an ECD gifted to the members. More Card purchases.

4-H gets their first mailing sent out next week. TSIG will also be mentioned in the monthly newsletter. The 4-H headquarters thinks as much as 1/3 of the clubs will participate. If only 10,000 clubs participate the first year, it should be a success.

The Music Departments have been mailed twice. They are also being called by TSIG through the rest of the year as an experiment with outbound marketing. The origional idea was to try and contact about half the Music Depts. I asked Amy if the calls gathered interest and she was very pleased with the responses.

All we know of the next Babe Ruth effort is the information flow has been established. The contact list is now available and the leagues can be worked with. The information still has to get from there to the teams. Notice the distance that makes it harder to get the proper responses.

It will be interesting to see how the national charities will rally the troops. Again the information must pass to the troops. These should be more focused. Gordon feels the success with Lifetime will fuel the acceptance of the Card concept with the charities. Closing these accounts should become easier once the history of the school success is known.

EOCnet is a different animal. We still don't know how it will work. The explanation should be known in another week or two. Apparently they are working out additional details. I think it is a real sleeper in that it could become quite a deal. Apparently low overhead to TSIG with a large potential return.

There are other deals done and in the mix. These just seem to be the ones that stand out.

There are also additional deals being worked to completion. Indications were there could be a couple of nice surprises in the upcoming weeks. We wait to see.

The marketing relationship seems to be all important. We witnessed the failure of the Babe Ruth first attempt. Lack of focus on both ends caused no return. The Lifetime is the next big push. TSIG has performed according to Lifetime's recommendations and seems to be focused for success. We shall see how the effort produces over the next couple of months and through the school year.

The other efforts all have their method of exposure creation. Maintaining the flexibility to work within the varying parameters while still attaining the expected results will be the challenge. Once there are proven results to draw from, TSIG should be able to proceed relatively unencumbered.

Of utmost importance is the execution of the implementation stage. If it is successful, TSIG should proceed to the levels others have projected. The volume of deals being worked to completion should produce the revenue stream to make that possible. Success should raise the closing ratio of the deals being sought. It should also cause the sponsoring organizations, new and old, to push harder once they can see the success of prior efforts.

We shall see.
