Are you:

• Holding excess inventory that is depreciating in value and taking up costly warehouse space?
• Spending at least $500K per year on advertising campaigns on TV, Radio, Digital, Social, Outdoor, or Print?

Do you want to:

• Release the value in this inventory to fund other costs within your business?
• Recover the value of a write down of the inventory on your balance sheet?
• Free up shelf/warehouse space for higher margin, faster selling product?

Our Solution – The Value Restoration Model

• 1. We purchase the inventory from you at up to 3X the market value in Trade Credits (a Prepaid Expense).
• 2. The inventory we purchase is remarketed under restrictions set by you.
• 3. We work with your marketing team, procurement team, and media agency to use the Trade Credits to part fund media costs.
• 4. All media is delivered at your negotiated rates, prices and quality.
• 5. After spending the Trade Credits, you will have received the same cash flow as though you had sold the inventory at full value for cash.

Are you:

• Finding it difficult to gain stand out against higher spending competitors?
• Holding stocks of product that you want to release value from?
• Facing significant business costs which could see your marketing spend reduced?

Do you want to:

• Increase marketing spend to gain greater awareness and cut through?
• Release the value in the stock you hold to make space for newer, higher margin product?
• Protect your marketing budget in the face of wider business pressures by part funding the costs in product?

Our Solution – The Value Restoration Model

• 1. We work with your media agency to identify and recommend areas of your marketing plan which could be part funded with stock.
• 2. We estimate the amount of your marketing plan which could be funded using your product
• 3. Your media agency negotiate your plan, delivering your price, value and position guarantees as normal (we do not affect the quality /price of media you buy)
• 4. You pay for the plan either directly to us or via your agency paying part cash and part product
• 5. We sell the product we receive as payment under the restrictions set by you

Are you:

• Looking for new markets, customers, or distribution channels?
• Unable to see tangible sales from your marketing spend?
• Looking for a solution without trade credits?

Do you want to:

• Drive new business with new customers?
• Deliver direct to the consumer sales?
• Sell more high value product?

Our Solution – The Value Restoration Model

• 1. We work with your media agency to identify and recommend media opportunities in your plan which we can trade.

• 3. Any new business we purchase is incremental to the new business which you expect the plan to deliver organically.
• 4. Your media agency negotiates rates and creates your media plan as usual.
• 5. Our Media Buyers purchase your media per plan, achieving the same price, value, and position guarantees set forth by your agency (we do not affect the quality/price of media you buy).
• 6. Your agency will invoice you for the plan as normal.
• 7. On receiving the full payment for the media campaign, we will purchase the agreed new business % value.
• 8. Products purchased by Active will be traded with clients and media partners.
