The Most Convenient Gifting Solution in Ukraine

Page 2: uGift Pitch Deck

Problem = Poor gifting solutions in Ukraine

Requires merchants to make a design, print many cards, purchase special software

Typically only sold inside the merchant’s own store (ie. attracts only current customers)

Gift Cards by Payment Systems

Not available in Russia/Ukraine due to legislation (not expected to change soon)

In-Store Gift Cards by Retailers

Online Gift Cards by Retailers

Mainly only promoted on company’s own website

Often not visibly appealing as a gift

www.ugift.com.ua

Online Gift Card Specialists

Only promoted online

Little / no personalization

Not promoted by partner

• Target conversion is 2% on combination of CPC/search engine results (current = 0.5%, reducing through user experience improvement)

• Target cost of 1 visitor = $0.10 (current = $0.15, reducing thru SEO strategy)

• Therefore new customer will cost ~$5 (or $0 if they find us in-store)

Economics of Typical Transaction

*Standard margin is 40% but just 30% for those merchants that offer to place a uGift stand that we provide them at the cash register.

Validation of our model

www.ugift.com.ua

• We are already selling about 5 -10 certificates per week… or about $1000 of gross sales is forecasted for August

• This is with very little marketing budget and we are just launching our vastly improved new site

• We have invested in SEO and it is starting to show its results… uGift is in top 2 pages of search results on most popular search terms

• Retailers are eager to sell our certificates and are willing to do so for a margin of just 11%. We already have 4 retailers signed and are talking to numerous others.

• Our partners are willing to sell our certificates in their own stores and still give us 30% commission (about 40 of our 70 signed partners have agreed to this so far)
