AGREEMENT OVERVIEW |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Advertising Agencies are often retained by many companies,
organizations, event planners, and other entities to determine and prioritize
which print, broadcast and online mediums to use in spending their
marketing display and recruitment ad dollars. MPN is a
prime advertising medium for Agencies and their clients seeking to market
their products, services, jobs, companies, organizations, announcements, or
promotions to a progressive, highly diverse, and geographically dispersed
audience of culturally diverse and women cross-functional business and corporate
professionals, students, and entrepreneurs.
MPN is a preferred medium given our target audience, scope
and focus, coupled with our demographics, site traffic, subscriber
community, aggregate user community, site and e-Communications
marketing options and capabilities, partnerships, and robust model
and structure with relevant, beneficial, and value-focused product
and services offerings which collectively enables our network
to continuously attract and grow our user and subscriber audience. MPN is most
interested in developing strategic relationships with and sustaining contact
with Ad Agencies that lead to ongoing referral business that leads to mutual
value and benefit for our network of 1.5 Million+ users and subscribers, and
the Agency’s end-client (in helping to effectively address, support and add
tangible value to their diversity marketing, recruiting and branding
initiatives, goals and objectives) while concurrently maximizing the fiscal
and measurable value and benefits for our Ad Agency partners and the MPN
network. Therefore,
with an aim of creating a win-win for all stakeholders (e.g., the end-client,
MPN users and subscribers, the Ad Agency, and the MPN network), MPN seeks to
provide incentives and fiscal benefits by making all of our advertising rates
"Agency Commissionable." As noted on our rate tables,
all of our rates have a standard 20% agency commissionable rate. Thus, if an insertion order
comes to MPN from an Ad Agency, and the gross charge for the
services is $1000, either MPN could invoice the client $1000 directly
and send the agency a commission check for $200, or reflect the retail
charges as $1000 but invoice the agency $800 (if the agency is
processing the payment on behalf of the client, which is often the
case), or allow the registered Ad Agency to reduce the gross amount due by
20% and pay the $800 online via our e-Commerce system (or by mailing a
check). Ad
Agencies are asked to generally encourage clients and others, especially
those targeting a progressive minority and women business owners and
professionals, to consider the MPN website, e-Communications offerings, and
offline services as a viable and valuable medium for providing maximum
geographical (local, regional, national, global) or functional / interest specific
exposure and benefit to a rapidly growing audience of progressive diverse
individuals. |

REVENUE-SHARING TERMS |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||

MPN will
share 20% (twenty
percent) of the “net revenue” realized and received
from any referrals where the name is given as the referral source for any
orders taken via phone, or selected from MPN’s “OTHER REFERRAL SOURCE” menu list on the MPN “http://www.minorityprofessionalnetwork.com/startorder.asp”

forms. MPN will run a monthly
“Revenue-Sharing payout report” the day following the pay period closing date
(1st – end of month) and send out Revenue-Sharing payments within
three to five business days of the pay ending closing date. Revenue-Sharing payouts will be
disseminated only for the revenue that has actually been received by MPN at
the time payroll is processed. An
electronic “Revenue-Sharing” statement will be sent only when a payout has
been earned and is thus being disseminated.
