Hi Suzanne <<Who would think that people would spend $25 for a card that allows them the privilege to shop? Anybody here a member of Sam's Club?>> Stores like Sam's Club and Costco are HUGE in Hawaii. There was even a write up in the newspaper last week about how these stores have become a part of island life. It didn't take folks long to realize the resultant savings by becoming a member. <<The MusicCard will save people money--significant money. Not unimportantly, kids who don't have endless funds can save several dollars per CD. How can anybody sit there and say this has no appeal! And saving money is just part of it. What about the convenience?>> Absolutely !! :~):~) Regards, Phil

Hi Suzanne: Thanks for the relevant posting! I joined the world of amazon shopping yesterday and ordered a book, using Standard Shipping (3-7 business days). I don't even know how they did it, but they got it to me THE NEXT DAY! I would have had to drive to Berkeley to find this book (guess that may tell you what kind of books I read, uh-oh..)Anyway, the convenience was unbelievable - I currently am sick and I couldn't leave the house - I could get VERY used to this kind of shopping!

***MusicCardDefinition and Marketing**** I thought with the addition of new investors and the volume of potential investors a recap of the My MusicCard and it's importance to the marketing plan of TSIG.com would be appropriate. First the My MusicCard is a marketing tool for TSIG.com to capture and hold customers. Once the purchase of the My MusicCard is made by the customer, he then feels obligated to utilize the 20 CD purchasing units allowed by the Card as long as product and service is provided. Let it be understood, as will be further explained, it was not necessary to obtain this customer through purchased print, voice, or visual advertising. Notice the advertising expense line item of the competition can be a high percentage of their overall expenses. TSIG does not have to offer advertising to a card carrying customer as an enticement for repeat business. As long as he gets product at a highly competitive price and service he will remain with My MusicCard Co. Once the MyMusicCard is used up the customer can then reload or purchase another Card. The reload percentages were seen to be quite high under the old distributorship model. I know the question then comes up as to how customers are obtained if there is little need for purchased advertising. The marketing plan was simple. How do we have others obtain customers for TSIG? The answer was simple. Why not split the profits. For charitable organizations it works quite well. If TSIG splits the Card cost, they get $5, TSIG gets $5 and a customer. The charity or fund raiser then goes all out to spread the word about My MusicCards and place as many My MusicCards as possible. My MusicCard Co also gets the CD sales from the new customer and the reloads and word of mouth Card purchases and Gift My MusicCard sales. The charity also gets half of the reload premium as a continuing income enticing them to continue pursuing additional customers. This is one example and by putting thought to it there can be numerous applications for My MusicCard sale generation. The PromoCard is also an exciting application and will be discussed separately. The great thing about the My MusicCard concept is My MusicCard Co gets the Card sale revenue up front and then waits for the CD purchases to come. With the highly competitive pricing of My MusicCard Co's CDs, the customer quickly becomes a CD buyer. With outstanding purchasing credits on his Card, he then has no reluctance to returning to My MusicCard Co for additional purchases. As can be determined from this brief explanation of the My MusicCard concept, TSIG is not primarily a CD sales company. It is a Card sales company. The CDs sales come as a byproduct of the Card sales. By putting both together it can be determined the potential profit generation of one customer to be about $25 if through a $5 discount MusicCard. Each CD generates on the average approximately $1. That would make 1,000,000 customers potentially worth $25,000,000 and without discounts $30,000,000. With the addition of fulfilling the CD orders internally the profit margin of the CD sales would increase. Bob
