Smart Holdings Announces Revenue Forecast of $30 Million, with $2.25 Million Profit for 2011
MARIETTA, Ga.--Smart Holdings, Inc. (SMHS.PK), today announced that its revenue model based on its marketing plans of a multimedia direct response campaign could potentially drive sales to $30 million in 2011. The plan includes a national direct response television campaign using 1-minute and 2-minute commercials nationwide as well as a web-based lead generation program. The Company has built a model based on its recent national call volume test that allowed them to project national sales volume based on a predetermined media “spend and sales�?? closing ratio.
During a 3 month test of the TV spot that aired on various networks, Smart Holdings was able to generate a lead cost as low as $20 per call. Based on these results, if the Company spends $50,000 a week on TV media, the Company could potentially generate 10,000 leads a month. Once the Company sales agents are trained and the sales closing ratios hits 10%, the Company could rollout nationwide and the potential 10,000 leads a month could generate approximately $2.5 million in gross revenue per month with an average sale being as high as $2,500 per customer. Smart Holding anticipates $30 million dollars in gross revenue yearly just based on this revenue model only. Smart Holdings could show a net profit before expenses of $2.25 million by the end of 2011.
In addition to National Direct sales from TV marketing, the Company has already begun setting up its wholesale operation where the Company would also sell direct to dealers, used car dealers, auction companies, as well as a plan to offer co-branding opportunities for large groups and organizations that have a base of members.
