PCL-TSP Showcase Development and Progress Three high-level meetings (3-4 hrs total - President & Key shareholder) Good fit: local company with intl connections, & strong community. Proposals (initial and revised proposals) Demo meeting early Feb. w/ President, Marketing, & Accounting staff. Led to knowledge of unforeseen potential platform benefits to PCL. Points addressed: fraud, increasing number of points of sale, pricing flexibility, accounting, capturing greater % of ticket revenue, vouchers. Great enthusiasm from President, suggestion of meeting leading to letter of intent, but litigation w/ key competitor puts initiative on hold. Application Demo

POI Model Initiative Encourage collective forms of transportation. Reduce private automobile use. Motivate through free trips to POIs. Advertise. Cases: BC Ferries, IKEA, Queensborough Landing Impression-Based Advertising - $3000-$4000 for a full page colored news ad - Cost per newspaper impression estimated at $0.05-0.10 - Fragmented customer segments - Ambiguity in advertisement effectiveness Shifts from Impression-based to Impact-based advertising
