Thoughts:
1. store/vendor rates-
I think given no substantive offer that the revenue share is
most enticing to vendors and that 12% is a good margin
share in this category. You have all the assets and brand
most importantly. You may want to ask for "x" number of
promotions as well. You can try for leasing fee but
no longer standard.
2. ad rates-
2. $50 a cpm is high on an unproven, no-name product.
Even search engine locations can sometimes be negotiat-
ed for less than that. Try packaging ads for a lease fee
above for a 1 shot price.
Good luck and please let Amy know she can call us at
312-255-9590.
