Tsig has no true competition in what it does in regards to the My Card Co. Notice the word Card. Check these and see if it doesn't indicate a different business model. Then find the competition. This is one of the reasons Golin/Harris took TSIG.com on. SI post #22303 SI post #25138 Bob

**TSIG IS IN THE CARD BUSINESSREAD WHY* There is a lot of excitement over the opening of the new My MusicCard site and rightly so. Does the new site mean My MusicCard Co will do an astounding amount of additional Card sales. Probably not so much more than would have been sold anyway other than the possible internet shopper except they seem to look for price and guess what, we win. So what does the new site do for TSIG? It gets rid of the inadequate old unit. It gives us something to talk about. It is prettier and more functional. It is all of these things but it is still the conduit for the resulting CD sales that come from Card sales. Card sales will be almost entirely done Card site unseen. The Card sales are done by immediate decision in answer to a request from someone asking for help for someone else or a function. In return for the donation a Card is given in return. Activate it and use it. Additionally the Card may be a gift for purchasing someone's product. Gee, it is free so look and see the prices are low so activate and buy. The customer to TSIG.com is a Card owner. Once a customer he now has the right to purchase the allocated units the Card allows. When those units are used up, then he must purchase another Card to remain a customer. As long as there is a functioning conduit (site), service, and competitive prices the old customer should become a new customer (Card repurchase-reload). Where does TSIG's Card product supplier get it's customers? I'm going to assume My MusicCard Co is the concerned Card product for this discussion. The sales dept contacts and sells a client on the idea of utilizing the MusicCard for whatever reason it fits into their fund raising goals. The agreement is made concerning the MusicCard. The primarily volunteers then proceed th place (sell) as many of the MusicCards as possible since their portion of the monetary pie comes from the Card sale price. What just happened? TSIG obtained from the deal made with the client, in exchange for a portion of the Card sale proceeds, a mass of Card sales personnel, FREE, in exchange for their efforts to support the client's cause. These individuals now approach as many of the consuming public as they can to convince them to support their cause. In return the sales person gives the consumer a MusicCard as a reward or an incentive for their support. The numbers of MusicCard sales continue to accumulate throughout the population as more and more come to the aid of the various causes. Notice the doubling or tripling or better effect of potential buyers of Cards as they are multiply contacted? Many will own multiple Cards as the system grows. They can use, give away, or discard them as a they desire. The Card sale still transacted and the cause benefited. Now the conduit, CD sales web site, becomes the necessary item for the transactions necessary for the uses of the of the purchasing units awarded with the ownership of the MusicCard. In this case there is allotted 20 CD purchases with the purchase of each MusicCard. The important function of the site if that it function properly and efficiently. There must be a comprehensive selection of product. There should be additional functional benefits available to entice ancillary uses, some at additional charge. There could also be internal links to TSIG's other product offerings. Importantly also is product competitiveness. The customer, MusicCard owner, has the privilege of purchasing up to 20 CDs at discounted prices. Notice the customer is a MusicCard owner not a CD buyer. Once a Card owner, the customer has a semi-obligation to use the My MusicCard site for his CD purchases. TSIG measures it's customer count on the number of Card purchases instead of site purchases of product, which could be one CD, as the competition does. Therefore when the financials speak of customers, TSIG is counting Card purchasers and The competition is speaking of CD purchasers. Nowhere has the mention of advertising been mentioned. Tsig.com does not have the necessity of utilizing the print or video media to obtain customers as the others do. The method of obtaining customers for the Card products is as mentioned before. The others must utilize the media to obtain customers for their products since there is no lasting pull for them to return except name recognition. You decide who will ultimately win. Bob

Now the BIG PLUS noone has eluded to and IS coming shortly as long as there are no interuptons. The Distributorship Network is being progressed to the point of being in place. My understanding is VP Richard Olson is the company man in charge of it. He is under Robert Newton the Sr VP in charge of the Products and Services Division. I would think a possible target date could be June for the distributors in wait to begin their efforts. I think there may be 30-40 of them already and the network at full impact could have approx 300. These are full time business using TSIG as their primary source of income. The franchise cost is about $30-35,000 to purchase a distributorship. That is the up front cost and immediately dropped into the TSIG coffers. What do the Distributorships do for TSIG? They give local, in person, support for the national programs and also allow for the local input of the small sponsorships that will add tremendously to the business on the books. Use the Babe Ruth and Lifetime Learning contracts for example. Sure they are on the books but contacting every team and school personally to promote and explain the benefits of using the Card system in their Fund raising attempts is next to impossible. These distributors can and willingly will do it. The use of the Card system in these fund raising events just went up multifold. Additionally consider the impact on the local levels as the My Card product lines are brought to the local use level. Just think of the local in town or minor regional events that take place every day. Also think of the potential of the small Promo deals that can happen. Place the small business owners with the opportunity to promote their business through the sponsorship of the My Card product line. Now throw in the distributors voluntary efforts, at their own expense, to advance their sole proprietorship, as long as they adhere to the TSIG contractual agreement, by placing any advertising or promotional items throughout their designated area. The exposure and promotional value plus the aid in contacting the national deals on the local level with an in person live body will be incalculably a big plus. Neat, huh Bob

I must be odd... I think TSIG will beat the pants off PNLK in revenues and earnings over the next 1-3 months...and maybe longer. I just think PNLK will be solid but slow moving. Lots of gov. beaurocracy and high level meetings and slow movement, and trickling in of members, etc. Eventually...YES! PNLK should be big, but to me, TSIG is much more nimble and charities are chomping at the bit...and way way more undervalued. TSIG also is not as time and labor intensive in keeping the massive amounts of information updated. PNLK must be a veritable clearinghouse of hourly and daily changes on exchange rates, foreign languages, massive problems if the servers die, etc. TSIG is largely simple, at least in the MyMusicard area....sign up the organizations and turn them lose! Hmmmmm.... guess I could be wrong....guess I AM wrong....at least for now.
