Get Up & Go!
Chris,
I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your help! You stepped up in a huge way for
XL106.7’s Baby DJ and helped us serve families in Central Florida. The poker tournament we
held at Crazy Buffet had an amazing turn out. I can honestly say that had you not contributed a
trip for EVERY player who registered, we would not have had the turn out we had.
Due to the excitement Get Up & Go generated for the tournament, we were able to add over
$5,000 to the Baby DJ Fund 2006! Additionally, your contribution of the grand prize trips made
the tournament that much more exciting.
We are looking forward to partnering with you again in the future. We have the next tournament
planned for January 10, 2007 and would love to see you participate. I know that through this
venture, many of my clients are interested in partnering with you and Get Up & Go!
Thank you again Chris for what you have done for our community.
Yours in Success,

"Raised my average sale 55%! Get Up & Go!®, I just wanted to let you know how powerful these travel certificates have been for my business. I use them as an upsell incentive for people to buy more products when they visit my website. The results are phenomenal. Highly recommended as an economical marketing and sales tool."

"This is a gift that is remembered. Get Up & Go!® is a marketing tool that was suggested by my employer – Century 21 Sunbelt. List or Buy from me and receive a Get Up & Go!® travel certificate! At first everyone thought it was just another gimmick or coupon but they soon realized it was the REAL THING. A hotel room to stay in and place to play away from home."

“Absolutely incredible! Using GetUpAndGo! certificates was our single most powerful client acquisition campaign ever launched! We experienced twice our growth objectives for the year’s business goals.
… Our success with the Get Up & Go!® travel certificates has been so overwhelming that we have had to actually suspend the promotion for a few months until we can catch up with all the new business.”

“Using Get Up & Go!® travel incentives we’ve increased our annual payment accounts by 100% and were able to completely discontinue monthly payment systems reducing our expenses by over $12,000 a year. Thanks for a fantastic, easy to use and profitable marketing incentive program.”

Dear
Kristen,
First of all - THANK YOU for
getting to know me and providing such a fabulous incentive
for our employees AND our customers! The Get Up & Go!® packages have sparked
great interest - with everyone.
As you already know, I plan
to have a campaign designed to increase our deposit accounts
by 250 - 500 late next fall. In the meantime, I have some
immediate needs for our small business customers as well as
our employees - and this particular package seemed to be a
good fit. Boy - was I right!
We are offering this incentive
to our employees for referring customers to our new Liberty
Gold account. To top it off, they get CASH from the bank for
every account they refer after the first one. Think about
it - they get to go on vacation, and if they refer enough
accounts, the bank will pay for everything! In addition to
the internal promotion, we are offering this package to our
small business customers who take advantage of our direct
deposit management services - and we feel good about this
offer because it is so easy to use!
We have had one employee already
call to activate the package. She was impressed at how EASY
it was. The entire process took less than 5 minutes, and as
an added bonus, all of the locations are someplace we wouldnt
mind visiting. It is easy to promote something to our customers
that we are excited about ourselves.
Thanks again, Kristen - I am
looking forward to many more promotions. As a matter of fact,
I can see us becoming the bank that send s you on vacation
- every year!
Most

Dear
Kristin,
The "Get Up & Go!®" vacation program was
the best promotion that First National Bank did all year long.
It has had a real impact on our deposit growth this year!
The Bank kicked off the corporate-wide
deposit promotion on April 19th and ran the promotion
through June 30th. Deposits increased by $3,549,381
during the campaign. Of this amount, $2,906,721 was demand
deposits that were not rate sensitive and were directly attributable
to the deposit promotion. We gave away approximately 784 of
our 1,000 vacation packages during the promotion. This number
exceeded our goal for the campaign. Media consisted of radio,
newspaper and lobby posters.
We had several customers that
received a vacation package call to tell us that everything
went like clockwork and they had a wonderful time. We had
customers ask us, "What's the gimmick?" They could
not believe we were doing this!!
Our Bank President was so impressed
that he has told several of his "banking buddies"
about the promotion! We look forward to working with you again
in the future.
Sincerely,

Dear Tom,
The Get Up & Go!® vacation
program is proving to be one of the best tools we ever used
for converting subscribers to Easy Pay. In just 10 weeks,
over 500 customers enrolled in our automatic payment program.
The fact
that the program is cost effective and easy to implement only
increases the enthusiasm with which I recommend Get Up & Go!®
as a loyalty building tool for newspapers.
Thank
you for a great product and terrific customer service provided
by Xcel Marketing.

Kristin,
I would just like to take a
minute and brag about how well the "Get Up & Go!®" vacation has worked
for me.
My name is Joe Tribett and I'm
the manager of Safely-Tucked Away ministorage. I've been working
here for just over a month. One of my important and vital
responsibilities is closing a lease agreement on a storage
unit. Basically, selling the storage units.
Well, the "Get Up & Go!®" package has been a
great tool for me. It really helps to close the deal. We have
our standard storage units and our climate controlled units,
which are the hardest to sell. Especially when we have the
minimum of a three month lease.
With the "Get Up & Go!®" package I've been
able to sell three 12 month contracts and two 6 month contracts
in climate controlled units. In one months time that is amazing.
Our climate controlled units bring in double the amount of
our standard.
The majority of all our inquiries
are for standard storage units. I'm so glad that we have this
offer. Every one of those deals were closed due to the vacation
package. We also have a flyer in our office promoting the
Vacation special and folks always ask about it.
Thank you so much,
Joe Tribett

Dear Tom,
We have been extremely pleased
with the results of our programs that feature Get Up & Go!® travel vouchers. Initially
we targeted "at risk" subscribers asking for conversion
to EZ-pay in exchange for a travel certificate. The response
rate exceeded 4% - far above our 1% expectation. Based on
this response rate, we expanded our Get Up & Go!® promotions to include online,
telemarketing, single copy inserts, in-paper, retention department
and direct mail offers for both new starts and EZ-pay conversions.
The perceived value of the travel certificate influences an
amazing response from customers. Also, I greatly appreciate
your commitment to excellent customer service.
You are welcome to share my
comments and results with others interested in using Get Up & Go!® travel vouchers. Additionally,
you may pass along my contact information to those interested
in more information on our Get Up & Go!® programs.

First BANK
Eureka Springs
April 29, 2005
Kristin Druey, President of
Ouch! Marketing has been extremely instrumental in raising
low cost deposits for our bank. For the last three months,
we have been involved in an awesome promotion. A three day,
two night lodging was given to anyone opening a new account.
This Get Up & Go!®
promotion has increased our new account activity by at least
35%.
We are an 8 year old bank with
an asset size of $340,000,000.00. Our CEO was told of a vacation
promo, offered to new account customers, at another bank.
In an effort to gain more share of the Market in our area,
we placed a call to Kristen. From that initial phone call
to the final day of the promotion, Kristen and her awesome
staff have been fantastic to work with.
At Community First Bank, customer
service is a very high priority.
We believe it is what separates us from the other 7 banks
in town, the only reason we have grown to this size in just
8 short years. Kristen and her staff believe in customer service
as much as we do
this common thread was the foundation
for a partnership that lead us to such a successful promotion.
Today is the final day of our
Get Up & Go!®
promotion; I can honestly say there have been no issues, problems
or concerns with the vacation promotion. We have given away
over 1500 vacation packages during the last three months.
There have been a couple of customers who felt they had an
issue. I was so impressed with Kristen. When these "couple"
of issues arose, she went above and beyond for the customer
to be sure they were satisfied, even though the issue was
not her responsibility. She wanted no negative effect to our
bank.
I highly recommend Kristen and
her company. I assure you, that you will be served by a staff
that is very professional, very organized, and who places
customer service at the VERY top of their priorities.
Call me anytime. I would love
the opportunity to share the experience we've had with Ouch!
Marketing.
Sincerely,
Carolyn Arnold

Dear Larry,
On behalf of Desert
Toyota and Scion of Las Vegas, Id like to express
my great pleasure with the results you have brought us with
the Get Up & Go!®
Travel Certificates!
Were really pleased
with the response we get when we use the Get Up & Go!® Travel
Certificates as incentives to get buyers into our dealership
to check out our cars. When we tell them they just have
to come in to take advantage of our Desert Toyota promotion
campaign, they jump on it. When we make call-outs and tell
them about the Get Up & Go!® promotion,
our salesmen really increase the percentage of set appointments.
Also, when we
attach the Get Up & Go!®
Travel Certificates as added incentive to come to our dealership
promotion when we promote ourselves with e-mail e-blasts,
our response rate is greatly increased, too. I wont
tell you exact numbers, but I will say our percentage of
response is higher than the usual tokens and free dinner
giveaways.
For those who come in
without knowing about the Get Up & Go!® Travel Certificate
program, we use them as closing tool you can really
see the buyers get excited about their new car and that
they get the travel premium as a bonus. It makes a difference
and we believe it makes a sale.
Were going into
a second round of using the Get Up & Go!® Travel Certificates
because the first round was so successful. It works for
us! Thanks!
