We just got back from a client’s meeting and it was an eye popping experience in beautiful San Antonio.
It was the Fortune Hi-Tech Spring Fling with over 1000 of their reps attending for a good time and training. Stefanie Kitzes, our Director of Business Development was with me and right in the thick of it. (This was the small meeting. A greater number of the reps will attend the Fortune Fest in August for which we have also been invited).
We were invited, along with a handful other high impact suppliers, to speak to the crowd of 1000+ (15 minutes - me) and to man a booth for 2 days to answer questions (mostly Stefanie). We were overwhelmed and thank God for Stefanie…she was fantastic!
By the way, they held a business opportunity meeting during this time and I am happy to say, they featured the Mall as one of their important value added benefits for the program. The reps told us that it is not only a great savings feature in this economy, but also a powerful recruiting tool for the business.
A LITTLE BACKGROUND. BSP Rewards developed a private banded Mall for Fortune which started with 15,000 rep members. It has now expanded to about 67,000 and is growing by leaps and bounds every month. Needless to say, practically all attendees were already Mall members and their word of mouth brought the uninitiated to our booth - anxious to sign in.
The management and corporate staff of Fortune could not have been more gracious or hospitable. It was by far the most organized and informative shows I have attended. It is a pleasure to be associated with such a professional, high quality organization that demonstrates continually how dedicated they are to their representative organization.
The phone hasn’t stopped ringing (again, Stefanie to the rescue). In fact she had a telephone presentation and training for 100 people on Saturday – one of many to come.
Next month we will be in Scottsdale for a new direct marketing client. Again they expect over a thousand people. I anticipate that they will be just as excited about the Mall as the people were at Fortune. That’s good news for BSP.
Until next time…..

Making Lemonade...
I believe that we are going to get some sugar for the lemonade.
The year has started with a bang and it looks like there will be more to come. Don’t get me wrong, 2009 doesn’t look wonderful for the economy or the stock market – but it does hold great promise for BSP Rewards.
Three things are true in these times. Consumers want (1) inexpensive entertainment, (2) to save money and (3) to save money. Accordingly, (1) movie ticket sales are up (2) Internet shopping is up and (3) money saving web mall traffic up.
We don’t have much to do with (1) except that we sell discounted movie tickets and theater gift cards on our web malls. But we have a lot to do with (2) with our Internet virtual malls and (3) having the most robust rebate and discount mall on the web. As luck (?) would have it…we are in the right time at the right place.
To illustrate the point, we are starting off the year with a growing lemonade stand.
We just announced that we have expanded its footprint within the network marketing channel with the implementation of a new programs for FHTM Canada, the Canadian branch of the successful Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing program in the U.S. and Your Ultimate Plan, a new product launched and marketed by JMG Net-Worth, AND …. also announced we have built the private branded web mall for Capcom® Entertainment as part of the Capcom Unity Visa Card program. The mall is a value added feature in conjunction with the release of Street Fighter® IV.
Capcom Entertainment is a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, and the first video game company in North America to offer a co-branded Visa rewards card program. The program offers accelerated rewards with retail and merchandise partners through the Capcom Rewards Mall, powered by BSP Rewards.
A pretty good start to the year, if we say so ourselves and the beauty of it is that there is more to come. Boy, I love lemonade.
