TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

Conor Stapleton. Kaymed- May 2011

Odearest, Ireland's favourite bed brand used RTE Shopping From Home to drive national awareness and interest in our mega bed promotion. The results were beyond our demanding expectations in regards to the creativity and production values achieved and most importantly sales and distribution targets which went literally through the bedroom roof for this promotion. We believe that the Shopping From Home programme is a wonderful Irish vehicle to influence a large and receptive TV buying audience.

Testimonial from October 2010.

Our experience with working with Shopping from Home exceeded all commercial expectation. Our infomercial allowed us drive new Odearest bed products into over 125 Irish stockists in a very short window of time. We were impressed by the Shopping from Home team, who displayed keen commercial and presentation skills that showcased our offering in compelling terms and ratcheted up consumer interest. On this count the activity was deemed a complete success. We look forward to further opportunities with Kathy and the Shopping From Home team in the future.

Mary Madigan, Managing Director, Energy-Wipe Limited
Shopping From Home channel was brilliant for me in every way as regards showcasing my product but also the sales were terrific from same, so much so that I am on last two weeks in March and first two weeks in April and I have also booked for Sept. Oct. Nov. and Dec.

The team were great, and I was very much at ease with doing my demonstration with Kathy. They did everything to the highest standard from start to finish. For me it was a professional and fun experience with the added bonus of great sales.

Freda Hayes, CEO of the Blarney Group and Meadows & Byrne
"Meadows & Byrne the Home store appeared on the March Shopping from Home series on RTE 1. We found the entire experience very positive and worthwhile".

"We featured a beautiful Footstool offered at €98.00. In addition to online sales, we encouraged the viewer to purchase it in-store and used a promotional code quoted on screen to act as a measure for the sales generated. The Footstool was sold out before the show finished and we had a lot of enquiries through our stores which increased our overall foot-fall, customer interest and sales".

"Also the 30-day TV campaign on RTE One was very effective in gaining national awareness and as the viewership profile is households, this matched our demographics perfectly".

"This was the first time we decided to advertise at breakfast time TV and we were delighted with the result. The quality of the production was excellent so overall we were very pleased. We would consider it as an effective selling method for future products for both Meadows & Byrne and Blarney Woollen Mills".

According to Martine Du Toit, Marketing Manager of Dyson Ireland, she says "At Dyson Ireland we like to try things that are new and different and we are very pleased to have the opportunity to participate in Shopping from Home on RTE One this February".

"We believe The Shopping from Home experience will be of enormous benefit to customers. It will provide them with product demonstrations in their own living room, enabling them to make an informed decision to purchase products that suits their needs while taking advantage of excellent value for money offers".

Slendertone's Brand Manager, Claire Reynolds says,"Slendertone is very excited to be involved in this venture with Shopping From Home. We see this as a great opportunity to engage with Irish consumers while providing a new route to purchase".

"We have had great success with the home shopping format in other countries. Shopping From Home with RTE allows us to apply this format but tailor our messaging to target the Irish market".

"The result is a focused message, communicated through a trusted source. This further reinforces the credibility of the Slendertone brand and provides an effective medium on which promote our great consumer offerings".

Ben Peat, Managing Director – Peats World of Electronics
