19 Challenges and Solutions

20 20  Challenge: Focus  Solution: Select one key vertical market to target per year, as well as a select group of seasonal consumer initiatives to devote resources to. Create a 6 month campaign to focus on the one vertical market per year – education, medical, automotive, etc. This set up would allow for proper planning and pitching time for larger consumer focused sweeps - B2S, HGG and NYNY, for example.  Challenge: Multiple levels of planning or research on projects that do not move forward which takes time away pitching. For example: Gifting suites – award shows, celebrity parties/gift bags IHA Hot Housewares for the Holidays show – full budget and research Dr. Laura Kinder opportunity  Solution: Discuss a happy medium of research and identify criteria needed in order to make an appropriate decision to move forward.

21 21  Challenge: Projects need more direction before execution. For example: Researching multiple vertical markets without knowing the end product Chip Foose research  Solution: Discuss full scope of research and information needed, prior to execution. Also, by using our solution for “focus” on the previous slide, we will be able to evaluate the need of a project and its urgency.  Challenge: Turn around time on approval process. For example: Budgets Pitch and mailer ideas  Solution: Set up an expense account for smaller budget needs. Lessen the need to send pitches for approval so that Alpaytac can proceed without waiting for feedback.  Challenge: Weekly Meetings require multiple reports, planning and follow up.  Solution: Conduct bi-weekly meetings, which will allow for more time to pitch, plan and execute initiatives. Challenges and Solutions Challenges and Solutions – continued

22 22  Challenge: Product delays in production and availability. For example:  Stainless Steel Food Jar and Mug, Addison, 20 oz West Loop  Other Solutions:  Create news through other means such as polls and studies Can be based on the chosen vertical market, for example: During a school day how many bottles of water or cups of coffee do students or teachers consume?  Consider using a spokesperson to bring added exposure such as Amy Sewell, PTPA or an important person within a chosen vertical. Please note that these initiatives will require additional resources/budget.  Other Challenge in the future:  Contigo vs. Avex – time spent on both consumer outreach efforts moving forward Challenges and Solutions Challenges and Solutions – continued
