THE CURRE T MARKET TRE DS A D OUR POTE TIAL FOR GROWTH. The current market for Digital out of Home Network Markets has dramatically increased over the last few years in many different European Countries After gaining substantial initial progress in the United Kingdom Major European Countries have now started to launch their own individual large scale digital out of home media network installations Digital out of Home network spending is stated to continue to grow and will boost the whole of the digital out of home market sector And will also eventually grow even bigger than some more traditional media platforms The United Kingdom represents the most advanced digital out of home digital signage network in Europe Outdoor screens on Londons Underground and in many shopping centres Heathrow Airport Terminal 5 Clear Cannel Digital Roadside Network Titans Trans vision Digital Sheets in Railway Stations.

ENTROPY UK LTD.
In France Metro Bus are currently rolling out their own large scale digital out of home network installations Starting with the Paris Metro and also many other railway sites throughout the whole of France With the advent of a lot more high quality company branded digital out of home inventory coming through in 2009 2010 Subsequently a stronger commitment from digital out of home network contractors should now fuel more growth for digital out of home revenues. Overall spending in this sector is still under some pressure due to the economic downturn But media buyers and advertisers currently remain convinced of the ultimate value that would be added from digital out of Home services compared to current and static advertising spaces. The most important priority and need would be to try and to satisfy the three different and main leading constituencies Media Owners Media Buyers and Media Planners MEDIA OW ERS: Want to maximise the value and potential that they can all obtain from their inventory investments MEDIA BUYERS: Just want to reach their target audiences quickly and cost effectively MEDIA PLA ERS:
Just want to sell more advertising space without wasting other peoples time and money Thats why we believe that a well-structured digital out of home service network will be the key for large or small companies that are seeking to sustain their customers interest
ENTROPY UK LTD.

ENTROPY UK LTD.
Outdoor networks large screens located at the roadside represents only a 4% market share of all implemented networks in Europe Although roadside networks have a large market share in terms of advertising revenues generated but that fact would also be driven by the large audience reach available. The overall market for digital out of home network advertising for business and the power of the moving image Allows for the creation of much more powerful and flexible promotional advertising campaigns Digital out of home networks offer companies and marketing advertisers with a brand new set of options Flexibility to run smarter or past day campaigns that refine and directly focus company messages to specific target audiences in specific target locations 24 hours a day Also delivering the power to push dynamic media or updated copies that allows businesses to combine and consolidate their digital out of home marketing campaigns with direct marketing operations Usually involving the assistance of interactive peripheral devices such as Pre Paid Kiosk Terminals Digital Signage Monitors 3G and 4G Mobile Hand Held Devices Digital out of home network advertising expenditure in the United Kingdom Increased by 4.6% in the first half of 2009 to 1.75 bn pounds or 1.9bn Euro As the digital out of home online network advertising spending medium and trend overtook television advertising in terms of revenues generated For the first time as all forms of traditional media are still continuing to struggle due to the financial crisis Total advertising spending in the United Kingdom fell by 16.6% in the period from January 2009 to June 2009
ENTROPY UK LTD.
This means that online of digital advertising spend expenditure now holds a 23% overall market share of all implemented networks markets in Europe Paid for search recorded an upturn of 6.8% during the opening 6 months of 2009 on an annual basis to a total of 105bn Pounds or 59.8% of all overall web outlay. Classifieds grew by 10.6% to 385mn pounds with a market share of 22% despite of the fact of the downturn Display advertising by contrast registered a decline of 5.2% to316mn pounds or 18% share of the overall implemented markets in Europe The technology sector contributed 19.1% of revenues falling to 13.3% for telecoms and 11.9% for financial services Marketers in entertainment media were responsible for a further11.8% of display advertising sales Consumer goods brands increased their proportional market share to a total of 1.9% to 8.1% of the overall market as marketers steadily increased digital out of home budgets Online digital advertising markets have all performed notably well against its peers in TV or Print or Radio Despite more than 1.5bn pounds being wiped off and out of the advertising industry Even in our tough economic times all marketers still recognise the true value accountability and measurability of online networked digital out of home advertising capabilities Internet video is also expected to have enjoyed a 195% rise and improvement year on year as more companies have now all fully embraced And are also even starting to adopt adapt and experiment with new digital out of home terminal and signage networks Digital out of home network markets can increase company sales for all products or services by up to 30%
ENTROPY UK LTD.
This new medium and out of home networked systems technology will see a growth of 8 to 9% over the next 24 to 36 months Falling terminal screen and peripheral device prices coming down to a level where the risk reward ratio now starts to look much more attractive to business and will surely boost confidence. In 2005 the average monitor screen price was 2500 pounds and now just 5 years later those same monitor screens are currently trading at a more modest 1000 pounds sometimes even lower. Digital out of home network markets we believe will become so powerful that many un adopted companies may even find themselves marginalized in the longer term Digital out of home markets we believe will be without any form of doubt a very big hit for the interactive out of home network market place We believe that this new arena and market place is just about to explode and already some big and operating major players are all now fully aware and also feel that the time is now right to truly jump in Setting up a digital out of home network solution is quite a challenging event in terms of network stretch across countries even worldwide The main opportunity is no longer the obstacle in solving the problem it is now more geared around and about what the business company enterprise wants to achieve from their own proposed digital out of home applications Content is King and being able to centrally manage a play list of content and then to distribute that content to an entire estate of out of home kiosk terminals and monitor screens simultaneously and instantaneously at the touch of a button is very powerful Having the ability to react to market trends in an instant has to be worth a small marketing fortune
ENTROPY UK LTD.
The key though is to recognise that it is not just about the connected kiosk terminal or the display monitors screens But that the ultimate goal is more about how to help all customers use content to drive engagement through other collaborative media outlet channels Captive audience networks allow for the showcasing of company brand funded content and also even consumer customer uploaded generated content The main driving principle would be that all users get an equal captive audience ratio in their own chosen market environments The digital out of home market place as a whole is still even now as we speak in its embryonic state of form and its just still waiting to grow Businesses are still even now themselves trying to work out how to sell digital out of home network application services to their own business partners Resellers have to think about this new digital out of home phenomenon and network operation and setup not in the terms of the technologies that would obviously be involved But they will all have to approach this new opportunity from a marketing point of view digital out of home network markets were created to deliver on a company marketing objective and so needs to be approached from a marketing perspective The overall target market must first be taught to understand the full and true vision and all of the associated and connected facilities that must be in place to fully and quickly exploit all of the potential The resellers must first all obtain the right portfolio of digital out of home components The Kiosk Terminals The Screens The Software The Content The Context The Cabling and also the full and proper installation
ENTROPY UK LTD.
Then they must all stimulate create and cultivate new projects and consumer demand that means giving prospected business and consumer customer clients a strategic reason for them to all adopt and adapt to digital out of home networked messaging services This is not TV advertising this is an out of home digital interactive marketing network channel Selling digital out of home messages is all about helping your end user customers to define exactly what they all would like to achieve The clear winners of this new digital out of home medium and concept operation will be the ones that can identify and fully exploit the whole and the full opportunity The companies that offer the best integrated packages that adds real depth about what is truly relevant in todays society The companies that can really add depth and clarity to what is relatively straight forward systems technologies Many media marketing agencies have all now quickly realized the potential of the digital out of home network services. A true digital out of home network concept and operation encompasses many differing principles There are also very few companies out there currently trading that are able to solve all of the problems and then still deliver on them all But we truly believe that our company Pre Pay Caf can and will be one of those companies The most successful examples of delivery would be where an equipment manager works with the business client and a specialist team of integrators To make the whole of the operating system operate and also function correctly In the near future we believe that business to customer order entry digital out of home networked systems
ENTROPY UK LTD.
Will become more and more common place in retail and hospitality driven environments Pre-paid order entry digital out of home networked terminally assisted management systems Will offer a convenient and fast alternative way of making or placing purchases for goods and or services Rather than traditional methods of payment enjoyed by most businesses today In the very near future we predict that the consumer customers of tomorrows payments for most of their goods and or services will be made or placed via these types of pre-paid order entry device and or machine Whilst they are all simply out shopping on their local high streets The customer of tomorrows payments will be made or placed by either indoor or outdoor tamper proof kiosk terminals or digital out of home signage display ordering systems The Pre Pay Caf enterprise organization predict and also foresee that self-serve pre-paid order entry digital out of home business retail product purchasing services As a viable benefit and option that will one day be used by many thousands of different companies from right across the whole of our world We applaud all of the technological pioneers and marketers for moving forward and developing and creating new applications new technologies and new peripheral devices Paving the way for rapid growth and development and also harnessing the power of new customer convenient end user media platforms.

Coupons
Patronage Reward
Premiums
Rebates
ENTROPY UK LTD.
Our sales promotion campaigns are marketing practices that Pre Pay Caf Organization will use and that are designed to facilitate a product and or service that does not include advertising personal selling and or public relations We will then therefore use our sales promotion campaigns for these reasons To attract new Pre Pay Caf in store consumer customers and product service end users. Who will hopefully then turn into loyal new customers. Who will also keep using our services in order to acquire their purchased goods We will also reward all existing consumer customers with Price reduction bonuses thereby maintaining their loyalty. We will then encourage repeat sales from occasional consumers shopping customers PRE PAY CAF SPECIAL PROMOTIO AL ACTIVITIES: Package Giveaway Advertising Specials: Pre Pay Caf will frequently deliver for all of our customer target audience Free give away items that would have our name or logo printed upon the item Something small like a bottle opener coffee mug key ring or pencils We will use these inexpensive items because we also believe that it will eventually yield direct instant and constant free promotional advertising for our company when used by our intended end user customer recipients Our Pre Pay Caf Promotional Offers may even arrive at your home by way of mail within one of our targeted customer direct advertising mail campaigns
ENTROPY UK LTD.
PRE PAY CAF CASH REFU D OFFERS REBATES:
Pre Pay Caf will also offer for our entire in store consumer Clientele a Cash Rebate on their entire in store purchases.
Cash Fund Rebates are similar to coupons except that the price reduction comes after the product has already been purchased
Meaning that in order for our in store customer consumers to receive their Cash Fund Rebates
The consumer customer must first send or deliver on request proof of purchase of any purchased goods or services with our company in order to obtain their refund
Rebates are usually a good form of sales promotion for a company because a high percentage of the customer consumers do not bother sending in forms for the collection of their refunds.
ENTROPY UK LTD.
PRE PAY CAF CO TESTS A D SWEEPSTAKES:
Pre Pay Caf will use contests and sweepstakes to increase our company Sales income potential of certain company products items.
As a reward for making individual company product or service item purchases all participating consumer customers would win or receive an award of
Cash, free products, or even in some instances vacation holidays or getaway breaks
With contests or sweepstakes participating consumer customers are usually required to demonstrate some kind of simple skill or task for example customers may be asked to suggest a name for a new product
Design a company logo, suggest a name change, solve a puzzle Find a hidden element dial a call back number and so on.
Contest entries are then viewed by a panel of judges the chosen winning consumer customer entry then wins a prize
ENTROPY UK LTD.
Usually that prize would be a redeemable voucher in cash form or cinema tickets vacation stays etc.
The skill level required with Contests and or Sweepstakes is such that the winner is determined by chance.
One of our Pre Pay Caf Consumer Customers when frequenting and using our in store hospitality catering and dining management service area
May be given a Pre Pay Caf Promotional Scratch Card that can be immediately used by the consumer
When the Top Surface of the scratch card is then removed or scratched off by the consumer customer
If three symbols of the same kind are revealed after removal of the scratch off strip
The Consumer Customers Scratch Off Card will then be awarded with a bonus of a Free Meal or some other selected prize
ENTROPY UK LTD.
PRE PAY CAF COUPO PROMOTIO S:
Pre Pay Caf would also use Coupon Certificates that would be issued for all of our customer clientele
That would offer them all a price saving whenever they make a purchase for a specified product
Coupons are frequently used by many different companies and are usually distributed by way of being mailed to the customer placed
Which would also of course be another route and approach that we ourselves will take when marketing and promoting our brand
Targeting our consumer customers as they all interact with our out of home terminal network and system solutions
In addition we can then collaborate more closely with all of our partners and affiliates who have already designed systems that can then be scanned at their cash till registers
The benefits would then be to promote both new and also mature company goods and or product services through the use of our coupon certificates.
ENTROPY UK LTD.
PRE PAY CAF PATRO AGE REWARD SCHEME:
Patronage rewards are provided by many different companies to promote and also to encourage the purchasing of their product goods items. Airlines are one of the biggest industries that use this type of reward based system and usually adopt and use this strategy by awarding their frequent flying air travel customers Frequent Flyer Air Miles bonus points that the consumer customer can then redeem and use once they have all earned enough frequent flyer air mile points or they may even be rewarded by way of winning or gaining a free air travel ticket Credit Card companies have also adopted and adapted this kind of reward based structure scheme system and format for most of their consumer client customers
Pre Pay Caf will offer promotions that include displays and in store demonstrations that take place at the point of purchase One example of this would be The life sized cardboard cutout demonstration promotion of Lewis Hamilton that usually stands in the new Santander Branch (formerly abbey) Building Society which we believe would still be a wonderful promotional Advertising capability.
The only drawback to this type of promotion is that some stores do not have the time to set up all of the promotions offered so only a handful is ever used
ENTROPY UK LTD.
PRE PAY CAF PREMIUMS PROMOTIO S: Our Pre Pay Caf Premium Promotions is another approach that we would consider when marketing and promoting our company brand A Premium Promotion usually offers for consumer customers a goods or services package that is then offered to the consumer for free or at very low cost To encourage consumer customers to buy a particular product or service Companies often offer Premium Promotions in the form of Reusable Containers Boxes Bags or even Leaflets That bears the company Name and Logo in order to help promote other products PRE PAY CAF PRICE PACK PROMOTIO S: This company promotion solution would first require that our company join forces with some of our partners and affiliates in order for us to deliver and provide the full and appropriate service reward level required for all of our customers. Price Pack Promotions provide consumer customers with a reduced price rate that is marked directly onto the purchased product item package by its manufacturer Most companies offer Price Packs in this form Two For The Price Of One Or they will offer a product to the consumer customer that will include Two Items In One Package For A Lower Price Than If The Two Items Were Purchased Separately. Consumer Customers usually act favorably to Price Packs because they believe that they are all gaining true value for their money.
ENTROPY UK LTD.
PRE PAY CAF SAMPLE PROMOTIO S:
This company promotion solution would first require that our company join forces with some of our partners and affiliates in order for us to deliver and provide the full and appropriate service reward level required for all of our customers.
Many companies offer Free Samples to most of their consumer customer clients designed for the immediate customer consumer testing of the goods item product
The mentality for companies offering free product samples would then be to achieve an immediate customer introduction to the company product item offered.
Companies have many different ways and strategies of introducing potential customers to sample their products.
Mailing the Product to the customer Passing Out the Product in Stores Door to Door Delivery or even by Roadside Giveaway Campaigns
The only drawback to this method of promotion and when distributing sample products are of course the high costs associated.
ENTROPY UK LTD.
PRE PAY CAF TRADE SHOW PROMOTIO S:
Most industries hold conventions and trade shows each year for the purpose of showcasing all of their latest product goods and services
Introducing new technologies assessing the latest consumer trends and also to address other important issues relevant to their individual business industries .
Trade shows also provide company firms that sell to a specific audience or particular industry the power and also the opportunity to
Promote ew Products

ENTROPY UK LTD.
There are a whole host of ways processes and a variety of promotional objectives that Pre Pay Caf can and will use to promote our business
Product Demand
Product Differentiation
Product Highlights
Sales Stabilization
Whichever of the previously mentioned and selected promotional objectives chosen that we take and use in the promotion and operation of our company
Our companies primary objective promotional goal would always be to inform and also to convince all of our proposed consumer target customers
To use interact with and willingly associate themselves with us and then still continue wanting to use and interact with our services even more
ENTROPY UK LTD.
Most companies engage themselves in promotional activities virtually every day of every year
The various tools available to marketing managers for such activities Are known as the promotional mix.
Advertising
Personal Selling

Sales Promotions.
Each of these promotional mix elements can be further divided into sub elements depending on the company promotional marketing objectives.

PRE PAY CAF CUSTOMER LOYALTY CARD SCHEME:
Our Pre Pay Caf Loyalty Card Marketing Scheme Program me is designed to Enhance our customer consumer brand loyalty and satisfaction .
By cultivating an ongoing relationship between all of our business clients and all of their company products and services
With the added inclusion and also in full collaboration and with the full insistence of our end user consumer customers that frequent any of our retail outlet stores
To Buy Frequently
ENTROPY UK LTD.
HOW OUR CARD SCHEME PROGRAMME WORKS:
Loyalty programmes are structured marketing efforts that reward and therefore encourage loyal buying behavior
Which will then in turn probably produce a whole host and array of other value added benefits for all of our consumer customers and also for our firm.
Once that we have become fully established within our intended market and operating sector
The Pre Pay Caf organization intend to then develop use and issue our very own customer consumer loyalty card scheme that would surely be a match for any other
Our consumer customer clientele will then in turn be able to immediately use and benefit from all of the discounts and special offers and promotions that could then be offered by all of our partnered and affiliated companies
ENTROPY UK LTD.
PRE PAY CAF LOYALTY SCHEME: The Loyalty Card Schemes Industry in the UK is one of the most significant in the world There are many large multinational retail chains operating some kind of Reward Card Scheme Major retail outlet chains operate and manage loyalty card schemes that will then be used by all participating customers to receive their advertised loyalty price promotion benefits Many loyalty programmes offer perks for consumer customer participation and membership in a club or program me that then offers customers rewards based on purchases made Our rewards schemes are based on the sterling value of product item purchases made Our rewards schemes are based on the frequency of all sterling value product item purchases made Loyalty schemes allow for the accumulation of points and redeemable discounted rewards Some schemes allow consumers to earn points redeemable for discounts on future purchases Some loyalty schemes reward consumers based on the number of visits made to their retail outlet location stores by rewarding them with bonus discounted points of 5% 10% or 15% off all of their purchases Consumers are even sometimes periodically allocated additional rewards by way of a free items added to their loyalty cards automatically and electronically Some loyalty card schemes have tie ins with other affiliated partner companies such as Frequent Flyer Programs Some schemes also donate a modest percentage of their profit from sales to the designated charities of their choice Almost every local petrol or gas station has its own loyalty card scheme that offers some sort of customer focused promotional program me
ENTROPY UK LTD.
Such as Esso Extra Petro Points Save On More or Coupons that grant the consumer customer 1 to 4 pence off the price of a litre of purchased fuel
Leisure companies offer and allow for guests to earn both points as well as travel air miles on the same stay.
Other travel related reward based scheme features include Sea Miles which are accumulated points that can be redeemed by consumer customers when on cruises
Some other well-known customer loyalty card schemes can be inadvertently recognized and still fully operate at the scanning till checkout counter stations of other nonaffiliated stores
The Pre Pay Caf Organization would therefore also intend to issue our own value added customer loyalty card scheme solution
In order to compete more effectively against our other larger competitors and retail chain partners
As well as gathering migrating and then leveraging our consumer customers information data through other collaborative loyalty scheme programs
The most simplest format and practice of deliverance of our own intended customer loyalty card and scheme
Designed and intended for use by our own in store end user consumer customers would operate something like this.
ENTROPY UK LTD.
HOW OUR PRE PAY CAF LOYALTY CARD SCHEME WORKS:
The first order of business that would be undertaken would be to request that the intended new card scheme customer member must
First provide or produce us with a minimal amount of their demographic personal customer data which will be securely saved within our datacenter storage network
Our loyalty scheme application forms will usually entail agreements made by our parent company organization and all of our operating retail outlet stores
And also all of our consumer target customers concerning the safety after collection of all consumer customer information data and privacy policies
The Pre Pay Caf Organization operates a strict and typical Non-Disclosure Regulation Policy for all registered customer members under all operating and trading circumstances.
Once the customer has then provided sufficient information and all of the required personal identifying details
The consumer customer would then purchase His or Her Card that would be needed to be able to receive all of the allocated discounted points bonuses and special offers
The customers Pre Pay Caf Loyalty Scheme Card will then be issued immediately and directly to the customer
ENTROPY UK LTD.
The Consumer Customer will receive an allocated bonus points pack or a percentage discount package offer on all of their purchases made for a contracted period of time
For every 1 pound spent by the customer by or via our indoor network terminal setup facilities
Once the customer reaches the maximum points scale limit of 1000 points or the equivalent in monetary terms of 100 pounds
The customer collects and or accumulates 1000 points that will be electronically added to their customer loyalty cards
The customer will then automatically receive a bonus of 2.50 to redeem in the store or to redeem online
Pre Orders would earn all participating customers 20 points per round
(meaning)
For every 1 pound spent by the customer by or via our indoor network terminal setup facilities for Pre Order goods and or services
Once the customer reaches the maximum points scale limit of 2000 points or the equivalent in monetary terms of 100 pounds
ENTROPY UK LTD.
The customer then collects and or accumulates 2000 points that will be electronically added to their customer loyalty cards
The customer will then automatically receive a bonus of 5.00 to redeem in store or to redeem online.
The customer loyalty card can then be immediately used by the consumer customer to gain access to all of the other Pre Pay Caf loyalty card scheme applications
It may even be able to be used for gaining access to other partner affiliated programs or membership reward privilege schemes such as Club Access Frequent Flyer and Air port Lounge etc.
We can then further expand our scheme further benefiting our consumer clientele with the inevitable introduction of joining forces and company campaign offers from our affiliated partners
Then allowing each scheme member to truly benefit from a joint coalition venture that would then allow all of our combined consumer clientele to earn bonus points on all of their product purchases in an ever expanding number of partner affiliated retail outlet locations.
The Pre Pay Caf Loyalty Card Scheme can then be further expanded upon and integrated into other operating sectors such as
ENTROPY UK LTD.
Airlines Electronics Companies Fast Food Outlet Chains Banking Services Coffee Shops Supermarket Chains Fashion Stores Resorts Hotels and many more!
Our consumer customer clients will then have the full ability and capability to use their Pre Pay Caf Loyalty Cards as a form of identification when making in store purchases
Whether via our terminal network system environment or within our hospitality catering and management services
By presenting their customer loyalty cards when making purchases inside of our retail outlet stores
The customer will then typically be entitled to either a discount on their current purchased items or they will be allocated with an allotment of points that could be used when making future in store purchases.

CO SUMER CUSTOMER LOCATIO TARGET MARKET AREA:
The Pre Pay Cafs location and target market area will be located in a traditional high street located urban town and market setting with excellent regional transportation hub links
Lending itself the potential to evolve into a first rate sub regional urban high street located outlet center with high quality amenities in an idealized urban setting.
Our Pre Pay Caf Target Market Locations will constitute sub regional high street retail outlet shopping locations with mass transport facilities
Giving all Pre Pay Cafe end user customers access to a larger metropolitan trade area and consumer capture potential
Characterized by its ethnically and economically diverse population which is both part of its charm as well as part of the challenge from our retail positioning perspective
ENTROPY UK LTD.
Our Pre Pay Caf high street retail outlet locations will already possess the key physical and economical characteristics needed in a traditional urban high street location setting designed for reconciling public product purchasing issues
At its core Pre Pay Caf will really be three or more digital out of home product shopping purchasing channels that will all reside within a single distinct retail outlet shopping location offering
that are all then combined and then smoothly and seamlessly delivered from within one single retail outlet store location that will then form an extended consumer customer high street retail outlet space with regional national and international shopping potentiality that would all still be located close and
accessible to our intended target audience with equally convenient access to the previously mentioned public transport facilities including

LO DO U DERGROU D
ENTROPY UK LTD.
Out of home high street shopping is being reborn in the UK after being heavily criticized in the 1980s
The new high street retail outlet projects of the future we believe will be located in the regenerated towns and city centers right across the country
And they will all also be fully interactive with all of their customers and even also fully interoperable with one another
These new high street retail store front operating locations in the future will all be uniquely and strategically placed or located within the borders of their own individual urban landscapes
Each one will be designed specific to its own urban location that then will be accompanied with a varied locally relevant top quality surrounding area environment and architecture setting . With also a unique and diverse mix of local residents and tenants including
Major multiple chains of stores and many smaller local independent stores . High street shopping markets and centers are a historic feature and part of every town and city in any part of the world
Whilst the high street shopping market is both long tenured as well as long distance
ENTROPY UK LTD.
We believe that the current high street shopping market sector is barely surviving in its current unstructured and un digitized nature and it is also even currently performing a lot worse than many of our European Neighbors
We believe that these current market trends are also damaging and dampening the potential for the market place to evolve into a more focused and high value amenity.
With the current lack of customer digital out of home shopping services in place that would be tailored specifically for our intended consumer customer target audience
We believe that this oversight and weakness is only further restricting the growth and capabilities of a more economically driven diverse and regionally located digital out of home consumer shopping purchasing service outlet attraction and locations
Operating service operations that would be just like our own Pre Pay Caf that could be located in any town city, high street city center or shopping mall
Which will then in turn prevent a higher quality array of digital out of home product purchasing shopping service applications and transactions
That could then be offered to many consumer customer target audiences from different and specific retailers from many and different producing companies and high street retail operating chains from many different parts of the world.

The approach that we must take with respect to our business target client customers when marketing and trying to sell to all of them our idea, our vision, and our dream of our unique but technologically challenging new to business concept Pre Pay Caf
Will be to build upon the already existing unique array and diversity of business to customer product placement services that is currently present within our
Local shopping high streets Local shopping Centers Local shopping market places.
Whilst together thoughtfully but carefully aligning upgrading and expanding all of the current and existing but outdated customer consumer operating product purchasing distribution services and management channels
Further diversifying the whole business markets overall range and mix of capabilities for all participating business partners and trading merchants
which would then also include all of their products and services and also all of their promotional retail service catalogue categories
We would hope to try to seek and to achieve all of these goals in an effort to strengthen reform and ultimately to radically improve
ENTROPY UK LTD.
All and every participating partner companys entire business company product goods and or services sales outputs and also their regional market shares also their positioning in the overall nationwide business operating market sector.
Our Pre Pay Caf high street retail outlet location offerings would intend to retain all of the historic charm and appeal of our existing high street locations and markets
But the Pre Pay Caf Organization would also seek to provide the town with some very much needed clarity and significantly much more and
Greater improved coordination between the high street business shopping markets themselves
And all of the current operating and existing participating high street retailers and merchant market traders both physically and operationally
Our Pre Pay Caf strategy would then also be to seek to explore the further opportunities and the feasibility of maximizing our own customer consumer client market share
Then also to fully exploit and capitalize on our own companies potential business marketing campaigns
That will be designed for maximizing all of our companies net profits that we predict will be gained
From the new digital out of home retail outlet shopping environments of which we also believe will become the new global trading and sales market spaces of the future
ENTROPY UK LTD.
The Pre Pay Caf Organization would then seek to establish and deliver a much more attractive and fully customer consumer focused and coherent mix of mass market usage of the predicted new public sector digital out of home product purchasing shopping channel environments
All of these things and a whole lot more we believe that we can deliver for our business customer clients and also our consumer customer clients
we also believe that all of these things can still be easily achieved whilst still maximizing the potential and all of the potential value that would have then been added to the market
Without restricting the ability of ourselves or any of our current partners or rivals who then themselves will become fully integrated within a
That would consequently still allow all parties involved as a whole group to fully live up to their own individual and full market value share and potential
The Pre Pay Caf organization setup operation and network capabilities will help and inspire all business partners company retailers and market traders
ENTROPY UK LTD.
To strengthen their visual pitch
Attract higher quality business retailers to the Town even if they were located from out of town.
Enhance the delivery of business to customer company product service delivery operations and management services for the digital out of home networked markets
That can all then be effectively coordinated and linked into each other and then can also be linked into other larger or smaller commercial retail enterprise service operations
That would then be unrivalled by any of our current business partners or even by any of our currently performing pre pay provider service organizations in our current economic times located anywhere in the United Kingdom and maybe even anywhere else in our current world
ENTROPY UK LTD.
OUR I TE DED BUSI ESS TARGET MARKET SECTORS:
Our intended business client customer target markets will include these industries:

ENTROPY UK LTD.
I TE DED A D COMPLETED DEVELOPME TS OF OUR TARGET MARKET LOCATIO AREAS:
The intended and completed developments and delivery of all of our future proposed high street retail service outlet locations Will offer all participating local national and international major market anchor chains and all independent market traders The opportunity to fully interlink and upgrade all of their retail product and sales delivery output capabilities Then significantly maximize all of the value and potential of all of their business company inventory investments Improve and ultimately enhance the overall productivity throughout the whole of their business service operations Strengthen all business market ties as a whole and further protect the towns overall regional and commercial viability Protect the towns overall commercial market share from larger more competitive suburban or international product producing companies That are all currently dominating the markets with their huge and expensive promotional marketing campaigns from within and throughout the borders of all free and open trading areas Eliminate the current lacking and absence of standards that just does not satisfy or meet the requirement of any towns master plan initiatives We believe that all of these planned processes could all occur and could all still be easily achieved and developed within the current and existing operating footprint configurations of all and any existing high street retail outlet locations Existing merchant traders can then be integrated into a more optical business trading format and configuration of operating practices that are currently unavailable or just do not yet exist anywhere within our current economic society
ENTROPY UK LTD.
THE ULTIMATE A D OVERALL BE EFITS: The ultimate benefit also and the final ending results of all of these proposed improvements and technologically challenging enhancements Would be a highly valued but dynamic and unique mix use and execution of all overall business service operations of any towns core trading viability That would also deliver and provide the local residents with real rewarding and long term job prospects and competitively priced company branded goods and or services That will eventually lead to a whole host and unique range of other new company branded promotions and marketing activities That will be designed specifically for sustaining and maintaining all consumer customers interests The full and final manifestation of all of our proposed market enhancements and improvements Would be a dynamic evolution of every town and cities existing core operating fabric traditions Leading to a vitally needed economic rebirth and vitality that will then again be created and restored by all of our combined operating elements That would all also be created to seamlessly integrate and support one another Provide a broader range of life style options and choices that should in itself be enough to justify all of the initial investments that would be required and necessary in order to make all of this truly happen The ultimate challenge that we all now face would then therefore simply be to define and explain exactly where it is that we are all heading and then to have a fully sound and completed plan and strategy of operation that is truly going to take us there.
ENTROPY UK LTD.
PRE PAY CAF STRATEGIC OVERALL MASTER PLA :
Our Pre Pay Caf strategy with regards to our retail outlet trading and operating stores will then be addressed in two different ways
The first part of our strategy would be to clarify and rationalize the overall high street market presentation and merchant trader composition
The second part of our strategy would be to guide the design and the service functions development and installation of our intended high street retail outlet location premises
Keeping all of the processes of our plan in keeping with our current plan of action including operations practices and core foundation principles
Also keeping in complete consistency to all of our overall business marketing plan and objectives.
Then to ultimately produce deliver and achieve all these business operating and promotional objectives
Within a reasonable but realistically achievable current market Cost and pricing parameter.

VALUE ADDED RESELLERS:
Value added resellers are a person or company that adds its own value to a Product or service and then resells it as an enhanced package.
Major companies realize that a meaningful relationship with their customers is imperative.
One way of achieving and maintaining this balance and presence is by way of using value added resellers.
The major brands have already built special relationships through its dealer and reseller channels.
The dealer or reseller channels provide the major operators with local presence and also add an array of vital services to their product offerings that are designed to help increase customer traffic and also leverage the dealers or resellers.
My ultimate goal is to build a line so unique and promote it so effectively that consumers will be willing to pay a premium.
My long-term objective is to build a market service that is not entirely based on price.
Dynamic Systems Technology and Unique Product Data Access Services and Cross Channel Payment Facilities that will no doubt uncover new trends and Gain more insights .

SECTION 4: ORGANIZATION
Business Organization
I plan to form a corporation for my business. It is my intention to grow Widget into a large firm with international relationships. The initial and ongoing costs of operating as a corporation will be a necessary business expense. Also, since a properly run corporation will afford me some limits of liability, I feel this is the right form of business for me. I intend to depend on my attorney to handle all aspects of setting up the corporation and maintaining proper corporate records.
Professional Consultants
I feel it is important that my team of professional advisors be in place before I start in business. Here is a list of these professionals: Attorney: Suzie Catchum Accountant: Norman Numbers Insurance Agent: Paul Premium Banker: Douglas Deeppockets E-commerce Consultant: Mary Smith Other: _________________ Other: _________________
Trademark: My attorney is conducting a trademark search for the Pre-Pay-Caf Organization and Corporation If available we will follow our attorneys instructions in protecting the name. EIN: AN employers identification number has bee secured from the IRS. Sellers Permit: None are required at the present time.
SECTION 6: INSURANCE
I plan to use the services of Paul Premium, my insurance agent. My insurance policies and limits of coverage are as follows: Mr. Premium will provide me with a tabulation of all policies and limits of liability. The company will not be self-insurance on any insurable risks.
Workers Compensation insurance will be available from State Fund Insurance when I hire the first employee.
Location Criteria
Space requirements Future requirements Site analysis study (when needed) Demographic study (when needed) Lease check-off list (when needed) Estimated occupancy cost as a % of sales Zoning and use approvals
Internal Controls
My accountant, Norman Numbers, is experienced in my type of business, which includes international trade. He will help me set up a system of internal controls to make sure that Widget Corporation will receive all of its income without any of it being siphoned off by waste, fraud, dishonest employees or carelessness.

Mid Range Plan (12 36 months): To establish brand recognition at the retail level, I plan to budget ____% of my sales to joint advertising with my discount department store customers. I will solicit presentations from local advertising agencies. Long Range Plan: I plan to aggressively build brand recognition and loyalty by budgeting ____% of sales, which will be allocated between space advertising in trade journals, appropriate consumer magazines and joint advertising with my customers.
How I Plan to Take Advantage of my Competitors Weak Points My biggest competitor is Colossal Plastics Company, which has a 20-year history of success and has gained strong brand-recognition. But they have developed a large overhead structure, which I will not have. They are also slow to make changes and upgrades to their line of products. I plan to overcome their leadership with fresh new designs, artwork and attractive packaging and to be priced very competitively. I intend to continually introduce additions and refinements to the line. Also, my end-user profile is for younger families who are not impressed by old-line brand names. Operating with a very low overhead, I believe I can gain a foothold in this market. A similar profile of my other principal competitors is enclosed indicating their weak spots and how I plan to capitalize on these deficiencies.
