  1. Market Segment Focus 09 End User Sales Initiatives May 14, 2008 version 1

  2. IT Channel Segmentation • The channel has historically been comprised of three unique pillars. • Generalized resellers in the direct marketing and ecommerce venues who focus on sales of computer peripherals, supplies and accessories. • Value Added Resellers (VARS) who provide tailored solutions by customer set / market specific solutions who integrate products for the best solutions to customers business problems • B2B vertical and OEM sales partnerships. • The combination has brought forward opportunities in SMB, SLED/FED and Fortune 1000 corporations. • The focus has been on integrating LWs into unique solutions and playing a supporting actor type role in the customers overall user experience. • Our biggest successes have come from a series of segments. Segment 07 Revenues • Medical Practice Management $250K • Veterinary Prescriptions $300K • AIDC $1M • Security $150K • Clinical Laboratory Information Systems $750K • Architectural & Automotive Paint Matching $700K • Instrumentation $540K • More… $2.5M* *Business via other channels or via distribution -estimated.

  3. Classic LW Value Proposition • With a small footprint, tons of software hooks promising desktop productivity and with time saving efficiencies via software add-ons and features, the LabelWriter is well positioned for SOHO & SME environments. • Clearly the diversity of the software features, labels, development supports and connectivity options afford the LabelWriter unique inclusion into many environments. • At the core of this diversity exists generalized uses for addressing, mailing, shipping, media labeling, bar coding and more. • Although our labels are “multi-purpose” the marketing and popularity of the top selling SKUs clearly identify mailing and shipping as key uses for the LWs. • Efforts have been undertaken to directly integrate into leading third party software applications supporting mailing.

  4. Integration Examples - Hardware

  5. Integration Examples - Software Direct Thermal printing remains a viable standard for cost effective labeling – including barcodes.

  6. Labeling Market Size – Source: Tarsus • The global label market has been estimated at $65B with 29% of the consumption found in North America. • About 3,000 printers exist of which the average growth is 5%-7% over the past two years. • 97.7% of the total market size is derived from the production/conversion of self adhesive labels. • 84.8% is produced from coated papers. • Consumer produced labels are the most widely produced labels (61%), followed by industrial, food and pharmaceutical labels.

  7. Converters – Source: Tarsus • Label converters in North America are facing downward pressure on price. A climate of increasing costs makes it difficult to remain competitive or profitable. • Of 2,000 North American converters surveyed in 2006 the following chart illustrates their perceived main barriers to label industry growth. • More than 50% of converters are now marketing value add software, labelers or label application equipment. • While market and competition pressures will mount it is unlikely that competitors will actively target complex and fragmented market segments. • It is likely they will chase larger volume business opportunities in order to maximize press uptime despite profit pressures related to volume oriented bids.

  8. Opportunity Abounds – Contact Management • In evaluating the core use for our vertical solutions it becomes clear that the vast majority of our successes can be loosely categorized under the term contact management. • Ambulatory Care – Medical/Veterinarian • Practice Management • Postage • Personal Information Managers • Database & CRM Software • Mailing/Postage • Several of our long term projects can also be categorized this way. • Direct Mailers – Info USA, Axiohm • USPS

  9. Segment Targets • Despite elongated sales cycles, expend resources on software integration • Contact Management Software • ISV Hosted Applications (10) • Personal Information Managers (46) • Practice Management • Medical (379) • Legal (35) • Real Estate (5) • New consumables • Wristbands (healthcare/entertainment) • Piggyback labels • Adhesive choices • Tyvek • New product potential • PDAs (Win CE, Palm, Symbian) • ID/Healthcare Membership Card Scanning • Leverage synergies across Cardscan, Endicia and other Dymo specialty labeling solutions. • Aligns with channel VAR initiative.

  10. Typical Objections to Integrating LW • Lack of resources to develop software / development cycles out of sync. • Low margin $ proposition if I have to compete with the “pricegrabber”s. • Unwilling to accept support liabilities. • Despite much higher pricing, Zebra/Cognitive/Sato/Intermec/Datamax etc. have more product features and perceived to be more rugged. • 4” print width needed. • Concerns over direct thermal image quality and lifespan of printed materials.

  11. Recommendation • Narrow focus to contact management where at least 3 of the following traits exist. • OS connected. • SME use environment. • Reasonable expectation of consumable usage. • Private branding is not a requirement. • Potential for globalization. • Phasing • Phase 1 – PIMS, DBs, Healthcare, direct mailer, and practice management. • Phase 2 – Security/Access Control, Real Estate, CRM, legal. • Shrink wrap software, ISPs, and SaaS partners are key targets. • For consideration • Improve API, SDK and other connectivity aids • Expand consumable offerings as appropriate. • Migrate SE300 to a 4” platform.

  12. New Twists • Mitigate purchase price and support issues by utilizing a LW TT installment/lease plan. • Fleet maintenance and warranty managed by Dymo reduced overhead and liability to partners. • Layered in monthly installments are more palatable than one large down stroke. • Proper structure could ensure revenues beyond the normal purchase price of the LW. • Revenue sharing? • Masks “Pricegrabber” effect allowing a semi-protected revenue stream. • ASP increase via upgrade to TT • Agreement and warranty revolve around use of “Non Genuine Dymo Consumables May Void Your Warranty”. • Synergistic connectivity with other Newell Rubbermaid Tech Products. • SME users are less sensitive to label pricing. • Fewer partners hurdles to overcome. • Bigger / Faster ramp to revenue potential. • Better / More scalable options.

  13. Resource Allocation • Phase One • Robust lead generation program. • Web solution/product content campaign – search engines, associations, buyers guides, resource guides, whitepapers etc. • Membership to key associations. • One sales associate. • Phase Two • System Engineer / Technical Project Manager • Additional sales associate. • Nominal tradeshow exposure.
