When do our messages reach these consumers?

We reach men and women everyday, during their daily
routines, maximizing the effectiveness of the advertiser's
message. In the morning, during their drives, on the way to
work, alone and uninterrupted with no competition, in their
cars, at the office, during lunch. We deliver your message
directly into the consumer's hands. We reach men and
women all day through a medium that is second in popularity
only to water and in a market within which 80% of the U.S.
population participates.

How
do TheSmartCups make their way into the hands of the consumer?

We work with our own proprietary network of coffee shops, businesses, and campus cafés to
provide TheSmartCups at no cost to them. In turn, they replace their non-environmentally friendly
cups, which they would ordinarily be required to purchase. Those cups are one of their top three
expenses, hence with TheSmartCup they will cut their costs, which in turn means an increase in
profits. Our network literally brings your message directly into the hands of the consumer.

We've heard you get subsidiary advertising through TheSmartCups. How?

Unlike magazine, television, radio, or other conventional media, TheSmartCup provides
secondary advertising as a "walking billboard." One person with one cup can be seen by many
(on average, 6 people other than the original consumer). We bring your message into the hands of
the consumer, who in turn shows your message to whomever is around.

Further, we appreciate your participation in doing something good for the environment and
becoming involved in a beneficial cause. We know that what's good for business can also be
good for the environment, and we're thankful that you know it too. We'll help spread the word about
your valuable support by including your name, whether you are a coffee shop or an advertiser, in
all of our publicity, promotional material, and press releases.

How do we guarantee delivery of your message?

We maintain control of our in-house distribution system by tracking inventory, delivery, and
location of your cups. We will provide a proof of performance report with your monthly billing
statement documenting each coffee shop in each market who ordered, the delivery date, the
shipping address, and the number of cups distributed making us fully audited.

Do consumers like TheSmartCup even though there is advertising?

According to research, consumers love receiving a product that improves the environment and are
excited to be able to participate in making a difference. They are more likely to purchase products
from brands that support the environment.

What do coffee companies, businesses, and campuses think of TheSmartCup?

Because TheSmartCups are provided at no cost to our proprietary network, they deliver
significant savings to their bottom line. The fact that their customers prefer TheSmartcup over
non-environmentally friendly cups allows our clientele to provide them added value.
