TRAVELSAVERS Partner Services &
Analog Analytics Team Up to Provide

The Ultimate Travel Industry Solution to Group Discount Sites

Oyster Bay, N.Y. – (February 2, 2012) – TRAVELSAVERS Partner Services, a new American Marketing Group company, has won the account as the exclusive travel provider for Analog Analytics' Bigger Better Deal™ solution. The new partnership is the winning answer to one of today's greatest industry challenges — group discount sites —because all parties benefit. For every purchase made, the buyer's local American Marketing Group licensed agency receives a royalty fee and client information for potential future business, preferred suppliers can offer product online to a comprehensive subscriber list without minimizing profits and consumers receive terrific value-added vacations through the Analog Analytics Syndication Network. Travel deals will launch at the end of February.

"This partnership forms the perfect marriage between the online community and our travel agents because everyone comes out on top," says Rick Mazza, CEO of TRAVELSAVERS Partner Services. "We have been exploring the question of how to garner mutual online success for suppliers, travel agents and consumers and I am thrilled that TRAVELSAVERS Partner Services is the first to come up with the answer. We're very excited about our relationship with Analog Analytics."

Analog Analytics and TRAVELSAVERS Partner Services by the numbers:
• 850 online newspapers and broadcast media accessing exclusive travel offers daily
• 40-50 million consumers reached daily
• 1 travel provider

How The Agent Benefits
The partnership's profit sharing structure provides financial rewards to American Marketing Group licensed agencies in the form of a royalty fee, along with the added perk of a customer prospect — a bonus that is received simply for being associated with the company. Through its exclusive territory system based on populations of 50,000, TRAVELSAVERS Partner Services matches each Bigger Better Deal™ travel purchaser to the closest licensed agency to ensure a fair distribution of royalty fees and client information. How The Supplier Benefits

Gone are the days of online deals filled with low profits for suppliers. The new partnership provides suppliers with the opportunity to offer product online without slashing prices, which allows for rate integrity to stay in tact. Instead, Bigger Better Deal™ travel offers provide value-added experiences and a business model that allows for inventory to be carefully controlled in a limited time offer structure. Suppliers only pay for performance, yet receive exposure similar to that of a comprehensive advertising campaign.

How The Consumer Benefits
With consumers looking to stretch their vacation dollars, TRAVELSAVERS Partner Services' Bigger Better Deal™ offers will meet those demands head on by providing the value-adds today's aspiring traveler expects. Through the new partnership, consumers can leverage the relationships TRAVELSAVERS Partner Services has with many of the world's top travel suppliers to make the most of their holiday.

By connecting the consumer to the closest American Marketing Group licensed agency, TRAVELSAVERS Partner Services is taking the guesswork out of finding a knowledgeable travel consultant to assist with future travel plans.

Additional agency-specific marketing opportunities through the new partnership will be announced shortly.
