Andy, Great find!! IMO, I don't think anyone should be criticizing "Sword" for his opinions about the PRs. What he just posted was probably one of the best examples of PR (Public Relations) I have seen in many a year... and done beautifully. Now if only he would name the company he's referring to. The "story" sounds very familiar to me <VBG>. Anyone still question where he stands and what his position is? I don't? Be Right!!!... Sit Tight!!! Best always, Marty

Preparations for "Open for Business" have, is, and will be being completed for next weekends big bash at TSIG as it throws it's internet doors open to the waiting public. About a year ago TSIG gained the rights to the MusicCard and as an idea at the time it was to be just an added attraction. Things have changed just a little and now there is just a little more anticipated from the idea. The My MusicCard is designed as the basic marketing plan of the My MusicCard Co. Why would this little thing be able to pull a company from zero into the lead against the well established everyday names of its competitors? Well, since you asked, gorilla and viral marketing is the answer. The MusicCard is designed to be sold through representation by another. TSIG makes an agreement with an entity to allow the entity to sell the MusicCard to it's primary market as an attention getter. Why would we do that? Well, we DON'T have to ADVERTISE. That is right. We made an initial agreement with the entity to split the initial cost of the $9.99 Card with them to make the sale for us. Now what happens? TSIG sits back and watches the MusicCards sell and register for usage. Then the CD sales just come in as the new MusicCard owners shop the web site and buy their 20 selections authorized by the activated MusicCard for $10.99 or less. Once they use their first 20 CD allocation, they reload, or buy another, their MusicCard for another 20 selections. Now the other good thing happens. The new MusicCard owners tell their friends who buy a Card or they purchase a MusicCard for someone else. Those then tell their friends. TSIG gets the whole $9.99. Viral marketing is like a virus. It continues to live because it is continually being passed along. What happened to TSIG while this was going on? TSIG continued to make or answer calls to further develop contracts with additional entities for the sale of more large blocks of MusicCards. What is the competition doing? Continuing to make or answer calls from advertisers to market their product. See the difference? TSIG sells. TSIG makes money. The competition advertises. The competition spends money.
