Hi Bob - excellent post !! <<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. Would you quickly go over how revenue is generated from TEMPO, how we know that TSIG is directly involved with over 100 million CDs from TEMPO, and how you came up with the figure of 10 cents per CD. Thanks Bob. :~) Regards, Phil

Bob, Great summation of what's in the hopper! I just read an article on how internet buying is accelerating the "traditional" purchase times of holiday gifts. With the rapid growth of both established retailers' web sites and the explosion of the amazon.com wanabees, it's a pretty good bet that the percentage of holiday gifts purchased through the internet this year will be the highest ever. Because of MyMusicCard's relatively low cost, an effective sales pitch could be the use of the card as a holiday stocking stuffer. The revenue from the CD sales would show up after the first of the year. Similar tactics could be used for birthday and other holiday or special events. I suggest this tactic could be applied in the marketing of cards through the charity relationships. Sam posted recently about the difficulty of selling $10 cards in front of supermarkets, a traditional outlet for organizations like Little League and Babe Ruth kids. Of course it's tough. Shoppers are willing to donate, but only up to a couple of bucks. Because of the cost, the card is not the ideal charity purchase for this environment. The challenge is how to look at opportunities from a different perspective. An M&M is an M&M, but think about how that product is packaged during different times of the year. The NetTaxi relationship is a prototype of the business model and a great place to experiment. John
