IMPORTANT: Details you need to know while doing business with Promo Buying Group in 2010

Good Morning,

I thank you for viewing. This year has been nothing short of WOW! I have been talking to hundreds of companies throughout this country and the world. Buyers of Promotional and branded solutions have detailed the challenges they are facing in this economy and as it relates to their promotional and branding spend. In 2010 we will be rolling out a program that allows benefits to the entire supply chain of promotional and print spend management. This may sound familiar, to some, for we have put some awareness out mid year. We are calling it PBGDirect and it WILL be the only way one can do business with Promo Buying Group.

PBGDirect offers a great deal of benefits. The program will run off the picnicraid.com platform and extend and guarantee savings upwards of 65%-73% depending on product & total quantity purchased. As we conclude this year I ask you to take a moment and contact me so we can analyze the immediate positive impact this will on your budget resources in 2010 and beyond. This savings will provide your "savings floor". The ceiling will stretch as far as the number of buyers purchasing a given product and the number of products actually purchased. That being said it is beneficial to tell others you know about the tool so we can add more "Ants" to the picnic. I am aware there will be questions and I am available at any time to discuss. My advice is to forward questions through email, this blog or Linkedin for I am certain there will be a great deal of interest, therefore phone calls.

In closing I ask you to consider some valuable points and reflect on those challenges you faced this year with your personal budgets and the time I feel was used inefficiently looking for the best product and best deal. Consider...

• How much time you expended managing bids & vendor quotes looking for the "Cheapest price"?
• How Wal-Mart model works - Many of you have to prove your pricing to Wal-Mart or confirm to their pricing model. Many of us buy products there. If I am correct it is based on volume purchasing. You deserve someone working for you in this manner
• Do you shop sales? Shop at Costco? Sam Club? If so this will provide the same and more value.
• The benefits of having a personal Relationship Manager there to assist you when needed. No chasing or leaving vmails
• Other uses for the savings. God willing we can invite our friends, family and neighbors back to work and watch our brands thrive once again.

I have much work to do to prepare. I thank you for your time, loyalty and I am excited to work with you in 2010 and beyond. Together we can and will change the most important component of your brands presence and just as important put your community, as well as mine, back to work.
