REW- Interesting to do would be to take the cost to the consumer of PromoCard + MusicCard (reload) times 25 cd's at $10.99 (5 cd's are from promo, 20 from music card] Doing the math: PC- 0 MC- $10.00 Cd's- 25 x $10.99= $274.75 Total cost to consumer (excluding shipping) = $284.74 Figure five purchases of 5 cds so cost of shipping equals $2 for first cd + $1 each for 4 cd's = $6.00 per shipment Total Shipping Costs = $30.00 Tax savings equal approx. 7% of $284.74 = $19.93 So, in essence, shipping costs are largely offset by tax savings. Nonetheless, not factoring tax savings, totals for Promocard [PC}+ MusicCard [MC] + 25 cd's = $314.74 Total cost per CD = $12.59 Total cost per CD (excluding shipping)= $11.39 Real added cost to consumer for "The Card" = $11.39- $10.99 or $0.40 per CD. $0.40 per CD costs for the consumer introduced to Compact Connections by a 5 Cd PromoCard Now check this out 209.143.231.219 (An internet search engine for finding the best prices...bottomdollar.com). Find the "best price" for all participating CD "e-tailors" for new releases. I checked out Sheryl Crow's "The Globe Sessions" Best price found from Amazon was $12.58 (excluding shipping) Savings with cost of card factored in is $1.19..... The PromoCard in conjunction with a reloaded MusicCard means savings for the consumer..... AND THAT'S THE REAL BOTTOMLINE Consumer's will be introduced via the card and retained because of the prices. Profits will be generated through both card and cd sales. The card will also save on the high cost of advertising. My main point then is lets have more PromoCards. ztect
