DESCRIPTION
OF THE STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
STOCK
DIVIDEND OF NEW SUBSIDIARY
The
Board
of Directors of PPMC has declared a dividend, payable in stock, at the rate
of
one (1) share for each one (1) share owned of PPMC on the record date in the
subsidiary of the Company, to be known as “The
Last Word, Inc.”
Effectively, this means that for each one (1) shares owned in PPMC, a
shareholder will receive one (1) share in the subsidiary (the “Dividend
Shares”). The Board of Directors of PPMC has declared May 2, 2007, as the record
date for this share dividend, with a payment date as soon as practicable
thereafter.
It
is
anticipated that The Company will file a Form 10-SB with the Securities and
Exchange Commission and attempt to trade on the OTCBB. There can be no
assurances that such trading will occur.
Purchase
Point Media Corporation (“PPMC”) has incorporated a new Nevada corporation,
The
Last Word, Inc.
(the
“Company”), with offices located at Suite 1100, 141 Fifth Avenue, New York, New
York 10010. PPMC owns a patented grocery cart advertising display device called
the last
word®
that attaches to supermarket shopping carts. At this time, patents have been
granted in the United States, Canada, France, Germany and the United Kingdom.
The last
word® is
a registered trademark owned by PPMC, which shall be transferred, along with
the
patent, to the new subsidiary. The Company is still in the development stage
and
is not an operating company. There can be no assurance that the selling of
advertising space to national advertisers will be developed or that the Company
will achieve a profitable level of operation.
The
last
word® is
a clear plastic, weatherproof, highly durable, state of the art,
point-of-purchase (“POP”) display device that encloses a glossy color photo
insert. The panel is 1/4 inch thick, 7 inches high and 16 inches wide. The
last
word®
insert contains 10 three by three inch advertisement frames. The last
word®
attaches to the back of the child's seat section in grocery carts, so that
it is
directly in front of the shopper's eyes. Management believes that the
last
word®
has powerful advantages over competing POP advertising media.
The
development of the last
word®
began in 1991 when the inventor, Albert Folsom, applied for patent protection.
Subsequent to that, Amtel Communications Inc. (“Amtel”) invested over $1,000,000
in the development of the last
word®,
which included applying for and receiving the registered trademark for the
last
word®. In June 1994, a Nevada corporation also called Purchase Point Media
Corporation acquired the patents and the exclusive marketing rights and
trademark. In April 1997, a public Minnesota corporation acquired the assets
of
Purchase Point Media Corporation, leaving PPMC (Minnesota) as the surviving
company.
From
1993
to present, PPMC worked on development of the last
word™,
seeking patent protection in additional countries and setting the stage to
launch a global point of purchase advertisement service company. In November
2003 PPMC contracted with SourceOne in New York City to contract with grocery
chains to lease the baby seat section of grocery carts and handle ad sales.
PPMC
has received a proposal from Spar Inc. to install the last
word™
and handle the ad changes and maintenance. Spar Inc. has 6,500 people across
the
United States that provide services to stores. The Company will contract with
injection molding companies to manufacture the last word™.
Marketing,
Sales and Operations
The
Company will rent the child seat locations on grocery carts from supermarkets
for a rental rate equal to 10% of the gross advertising revenues that the
Company receives. The Coma[ny will sell the advertising for each of the ten
positions on the last
word™ to
manufacturers of leading national brand products sold in supermarkets. Each
position is priced at $2.25 per month per thousand customer checkouts at the
grocery store. Advertising agencies will receive a 15% commission for all
advertisements placed on behalf of their clients. This advertising will be
replaced in quarterly cycles to coincide with the seasons.
Radio
and TV
PPMC
has
entered into a joint participation agreement with CBS Radio and TV wherein
CBS
will offer stores free advertising and then sell Radio,TV and the last word™
advertising to product manufactures who sell their products in the stores.
Shelf
talkers, Coupon dispensers
Through
an agreement with National Hispanic Retail Networks (NHR). PPMC can offer Shelf
Talkers and Coupon Dispensers to the stores carrying the last word™. NHR who has
Shelf Talkers and Coupon Dispensers in 4,400 will also be able to offer the
last
word to their clients.
The
Point of Purchase (POP) Market
The
following discussion of the Point of Purchase (POP) market is based upon the
“Supermarket Buying Habits Survey” published by The Point Of Purchase
Advertising Institute, Inc. (POPAI), based in Washington DC.. Point of purchase
advertising is a $17 billion business. The basis of the growth of POP
advertising is its capacity to influence the buying decisions of shoppers after
they enter a store. POPAI has determined that average shoppers make the
decisions for choosing two thirds of their supermarket purchases after they
enter a store. Other marketing professionals concur with these
findings.
POPAI's
research has shown that 70 manufacturer displays and 160 signs are found in
an
average supermarket. In addition, advertisements are found on product shelves
and on shopping carts. According to research reported in Marketing Magazine,
which covers marketing and sales promotion advertising, gross sales are 12%
higher in stores with advertisements on product shelves than in stores without
shelf advertisements. In addition, advertising panels on the front of shopping
carts increase the average sales of those products by 11.5%. Other surveys
show
that a product advertised on a grocery cart would cause a decrease in sales
of
the competing product equal to 50% of the increase of the advertised
product.
In-store
POP advertising is effective because there are thousands of competing products.
The average supermarket carries over 15,000 items and larger stores over 30,000.
Each month a thousand new products fight for shelf space and the customer's
attention.
The
majority of shoppers are impulse buyers. Every year fewer wives stay at home
and
read newspaper ads to plan their grocery shopping. The increase of two-household
earners means considerably less time for planning. Consequently, more and more
people do their grocery shopping without a list and are more susceptible to
in-store advertising.
In
1986,
grocery store sales topped $300 billion. By the year 2000, supermarket customers
will spend about half a trillion dollars. These figures are based on a
conservative 6% annual growth rate during the 1990's.
Packaged
food companies are now entering over one thousand new products into the
marketplace each month. In 1970, the average supermarket featured 7,800 items.
By 1990, that number had reached approximately 15,000 and some carry more than
30,000 items.
In
1965,
the average trip to the grocery store lasted 28 minutes and the average weekly
spending in supermarkets was $28.49. By 1990, shoppers made slightly more than
two trips to the supermarket each week, spending more than $72.00 per trip.
The
major shopping trip now lasts nearly 50 minutes as the hurried shoppers are
attempting to wrap up all of their required shopping in one trip.
The
majority of shoppers are working outside of the home and have little time to
plan their shopping trip, making them much more vulnerable to influence and
factors that promote their purchasing decisions while shopping.
Competition
A
number
of companies compete in the point of purchase grocery cart advertising industry.
The most significant competitors are Actmedia Inc. (“Actmedia”) and Floor
Graphics.
News
Corp. acquired Actmedia Inc. of Darien, Connecticut, which was owned by Heritage
Media Corp. and then changed the name to News America Marketing. News America
Marketing named the grocery cart division, “Smart Source Carts” (sometimes
referred to herein as Actmedia). News America Marketing is a large company,
which competes in several categories of point of purchase supermarket
advertising, including using grocery carts as the location for its advertising
message. Actmedia pioneered grocery cart advertising and has proven that a
single POP advertisement on a grocery cart can be effective and
profitable.
Smart
Source Carts attaches an 8-inch by 9-inch by 9-inch single advertisement panel
to the front inside and front outside of shopping carts. According to Actmedia
promotional literature, its clients have commissioned the research company
A.C.
Nielsen to conduct over 600 independent surveys on Actmedia's ad program.
Nielsen's findings concluded that Actmedia's grocery cart advertising increases
average sales of the advertised products by 12.6%.
In
addition to Actmedia (News America), there are a number of other competitors
in
the industry. VideOcart is a shopping cart equipped with a black and white
battery operated video screen, which imparts information as well as
advertisements. Other competitors include shelf and aisle displays as well
as a
number of newer hi-tech POP displays. Various electronic in-store displays
and
coupon systems exist including: Aisle Vision to straddle the aisle; Market
Vision, an electronic message board crawl screen; POPNET, a computerized
in-store system displaying animated sequences and price promotions; Actmedia's
Instant Coupon Machine, an on-shelf electronic dispensing device; and Shelf
Vision, another electronic display system.
In
Store
Advertising has a backlit display unit with an LED read out placed above the
aisle in grocery stores. Other displays include motion-activated units designed
to heighten product visibility. Camtalker's sensory equipment triggers a taped
message whenever a customer comes within range. Soundtron also triggers a
message to potential customers as does Voice Vendor.
The
Company believes that since the last
word™
will be in continuous communication with each and every shopper in the store,
it
will be more effective than the products of its competitors.
Patent
The
patent invention is a waterproof advertising display device. Broadly stated,
the
patent covers the combination of a telescopingly nestable shopping cart of
the
standard type, having a top-hinged rear gate and a rear receptacle, and an
advertising holder mounted facing a user on the front wall of the rear
receptacle, including a rear display plate over the advertising and a watertight
seal such that liquids may not enter the advertising area.
Also
protected is the above combination wherein the cover plate is attached with
a
quick release hinge. It also includes an optional calculator assembly supporting
the calculator at an upward angle for viewing by the user.
Production
and Manufacturing
The
early
stage manufacturing of the last
word®
has been undertaken by Lesair, Inc. in San Diego, California. The manufacturer
of the final production runs has not been determined. Competitive bids are
being
tendered at this time.
