TRADING NOTES: AMKT is a fully reporting Company that currently trades on The Bulletin Board. The stock is trading near its 52-week and three year low. AMKT has been public for close to five years and has spent most of its trading history between .50 and $2.00 per share. The last time AMKT was this low was in mid 2008, but it rocketed back over $1.00 per share within months. We see very little resistance in AMKT below .75 per share, and a significant contract could propel this stock to a spike rally. The Company has managed to keep the share count extremely low over the years. Management believes that based on improving fundamental development of its proprietary proximity marketing programs and overall package that the stock does not nearly reflect its true value. Due to a low float, AMKT can move a large percentage on moderate volume. Most market makers are representing bid offer spreads through OTC Markets for AMKT at www.otcmarkets.com.

Ace Marketing & Promotions Inc., based in New York, is a full-service promotional marketing company offering a wide array of business solutions which include; Branding and Branded Merchandise, Mobile Marketing Solutions, Website Development, ACE CMS Platform, and Direct Relationship Marketing Solutions. Ace Marketing & Promotions Inc. is a leader in Proximity Marketing(SM) with proprietary Bluetooth and Wi-Fi integrated technology that establishes the benchmark for how multimedia messages are being delivered. The biggest growth segment of the Company’s business plan is Ace's Proximity Marketing technology that can communicate with customers' Bluetooth or Wi-Fi enabled cell phones upon entering each franchise location within the network, sending an array of special offers to users who agree to opt in. The content, which is sent through the Proximity Network by Ace and completely independent of any cell phone service provider, is always FREE to the recipient. This technology has the ability to provide advertisers with real-time statistical reports on the effectiveness of each campaign, detailing how many total users received the content and also how many proceeded to download it. Proximity Marketing advertising operates on a pay-per-download basis, with advertisers paying each time their content is accessed. The projections for Ace’s mobile marketing segment are staggering, and although pro formas are just an educated guess, they are worth noting. It is projected that next year, AMKT could earn over $8.4 million from just its mobile marketing, and over $19.6 million the year after that. Even if we estimate that AMKT will have 16 million shares out next year and 19 million the year after that, the Company would earn over .50 per share next year, and over $1.00 per share the year after. At a multiple of only 15 times earnings, you can quickly see why AMKT could be a $10 stock. This is without including supplemental earnings from its three other vertical and complementary marketing segments. About Ace Marketing & Promotions Inc (OTCBB: AMKT) Ace Marketing & Promotions, Inc. is a publicly traded company on the OTCBB under the ticker symbol: AMKT. The Company was founded in 1998 as Promotional Products Company, which has since evolved into a full service Promotional Marketing Agency. The Company now concentrates on four main business verticals; Branding & Branded Merchandise, Interactive Solutions, Mobile Marketing and Direct Relationship Marketing. Each vertical contains several solutions. 1. Branding & Branded Merchandise - Within the Branding & Branded Merchandise vertical, Ace Marketing has the ability to not only create the actual brands, but also provide all the branded merchandise or promotional products. This has been the core of the Ace business model since its inception. The current focus within this vertical is to find new and innovative ways to leverage new technology platforms and their growing list of clients in the Sports, Entertainment and Retail industries to drive growth beyond traditional channels. 2. Interactive Solutions – Ace’s Interactive Solutions vertical deals with any online marketing & branding initiatives. Utilizing the Ace CMS Platform (“Content Management System”), Ace creates custom websites that allow it to give total control of the site content back to the clients after they are created. Through the Ace CMS platform, the client simply chooses from one of Ace Marketing’s web-design packages (Platinum, Gold, Silver or Bronze) and has the ability to change all the content on the site without the need for a programmer and the high hourly fees that go along with them. If they have the ability to attach a file to an email, they have the ability to control content (text, audio, video pictures and backgrounds) on the sites. With this power, their websites become dynamic and powerful marketing vehicles instead of just an online static ad. For relevant clients, Ace can also add an E-Commerce component to the client’s websites. As an internal purchasing tool, this allows the client to control the products that are purchased internally by requiring all buyers to use the online company store. As an online sales tool, it provides a professional and economical way to sell products online to their customers or fans. Ace also offers Email Marketing services to assist in marketing the client’s site or program. As an additional service, Ace can house each site on Ace Marketing servers. 3. Mobile Marketing – Ace Marketing & Promotions is proud to provide innovative Proximity Marketing and SMS Text platforms & services. Several years ago, the term “Mobile Marketing” was really just a buzz word. Last year, mobile marketing became more of a reality, and now most companies are eagerly adding “mobile” to their advertising and marketing mix. Ace clients and potential clients are coming to the conclusion that if they are not marketing to their customers or fans on their cell phones, then they are behind the times. To address this exciting market opportunity, Ace has quickly become one of the U.S. leaders in Proximity Marketing. Utilizing technology that Ace considers the best in the world, the Company is setting up Bluetooth and Wi-Fi Proximity Marketing networks that allow Ace to deliver content directly to consumers’ cell phones at no cost to them. There is no network charge by a cell phone carrier as Ace sets up its own devices throughout sports and entertainment venues, retail locations, and any other relevant locations, effectively creating its own local network. Over the last year, Ace has delivered successful campaigns for the New York Knicks, Macy’s, NASCAR, NHL, and Def Leppard to name a few. The technology seems set to become the next component of advertising and marketing spends as mobile marketing gains more and more momentum. This allows Ace Marketing to target and deliver rich media content at targeted locations at targeted times where it is most relevant. The technology allows Ace to control all locations and campaigns remotely whether they are down the block or across the country. With precise statistical reporting as to how many consumers downloaded the campaign, advertisers now have an exciting new and measurable medium to communicate with fans and consumers. Ace has begun discussions with various retailers, chain stores, mall developers and venue owners to build this next generation network. At the same time, Ace is in discussions with many of the leagues, teams, bands, consumer products companies and sponsors who will run campaigns on this network. It is the Company’s vision to build this network across The United States and has plans for its first permanent installs this calendar year. Ace Marketing’s SMS Text platforms provide another effective tool for clients to interact with their customers through their mobile devices. This technology can be used to complement Proximity Marketing or as a stand-alone marketing channel. 4. Direct Relationship Marketing – This vertical creates 1 to 1 relationship marketing solutions. Ace’s strategy for delivering successful marketing campaigns utilizes specific databases to personalize messages across a wide array of integrated delivery mechanisms. Ace has expanded its capabilities beyond direct mail to incorporate variable data programming technology into web applications, telephony, email, and print. Ace’s Direct Relationship Marketing solution helps attract new customers and retain existing ones by targeting each identified demographic group through their various tools to get the intended message across with measured results. Implementing Attraxion Platform Tools 1. Cleaning Database 1. Customized postcard/mailer sent to demographic target list 2. Append Database 2. P-URL website (template) 3. Acquisition Modeling Program 3. Call Tracking Technology 4. Acquisition List 4. On-line reports to monitor each marketing program 5. Marketing program using Attraxion Platform Entire Suite of Solutions The services, products and technology platforms that Ace Marketing & Promotions has assembled provide its clients with an exceptional mix of solutions for reaching their customers in ways that were previously impossible. Ace gives clients the ability to choose a solution “A La Carte”, where Ace will simply create their branded merchandise, or just create their website, and there are other times where a client will have Ace provide the entire suite of solutions. Ace now has the ability to create the brand identity as well as the merchandise to go along with it. The platforms allow Ace to create the website and the e-commerce platform to sell it on, communicate with the customer or fan base via email marketing, and also create and manage a client’s mobile marketing initiatives using text messaging and proximity marketing. Additionally, Ace provides warehousing, fulfillment, and shipping directly from Ace for online programs. Providing the entire suite of solutions for a single client allows that client to exclusively use Ace where in the past they may have had to look to several different vendors. Through its suite of solutions, Ace has enhanced the relationship with its customers. Ace transformed from a vendor into a partner, and its sales representatives are now business solution consultants. More about Ace Marketing and the Industry Ace Advantages Ace presently has over 2000 customer accounts ranging from Fortune 500 companies to local schools and small businesses. The Company has built its business around the concept of high quality innovative branded merchandise, competitive pricing, and consistently superior customer service. Its operational platform, using top-line technology, is designed for economies of scale and ensures superior relations with major industry suppliers. The platform also provides superior support to an expanding team of experienced, well-connected salespeople who are vital to acquiring new business. The major advantage Ace holds over most companies in the promotional product industry is the ability to provide integrated business solutions to its customers as trusted advisors. The majority of companies in the promotional product industry offer only branded merchandise, whereas, Ace offers solutions in (most below link to the Ace website):
Branded Merchandise Mobile Marketing Solutions Direct Relationship Marketing The ability to offer multiple solutions and integrate them is what separates Ace from the average promotional product distributor. Where nearly all of the competition continues to be viewed as commodity based “order takers”, our solutions based services deepen the relationship with our clients as our sales consultants become trusted advisors and Ace becomes a valued business partner. Positioned for Growth Ace has grown organically through referrals based on its high quality service. It is also expanding through hiring leading independent salespersons that are well supported by the Ace proprietary business structure. By offering more services and solutions to their customers, new recruits will have the ability to expand their present business by simply making the move to Ace. Upon integrating their client base into the Ace system they too become trusted advisors that provide integrated business solutions instead of a commodity based promotional product salesperson. These achievements position the Company to accelerate growth through acquisition and consolidation of other companies as well as simply recruiting experienced salespeople. Once a company is acquired, the new clients will all be introduced to the additional services that are now available in the Ace promotional marketing model. Ace Marketing has effectively carved out a niche for itself. Marketing and Branding companies create an image and direction for clients. Ad agencies develop print, TV, radio and other campaigns aimed at goals of recruiting, introducing new products or services, etc. Traditional promotional product companies offer imprinted merchandise and apparel. Ace Marketing & Promotions finds itself in a unique position of providing value added services that compliment those of the ad agency, as well as branding and marketing companies while at the same time far exceeding the capabilities of a standard promotional products distributor. A Market on the Move Promotional products include advertising specialties, premiums, incentives, business gifts, awards, prizes, commemoratives and other imprinted or decorated items. Sales of these products rose steadily from $5.13 billion in 1991 to $17.85 in 2000. In a tight economy, sales dipped to $15.63 billion in 2002 and rose again to over $18 billion by 2006 and $19.4 billion in 2007 and then decreased to $18.1 billion in 2008. Driving this growth is the corporate trend toward integrated and targeted marketing strategies. These involve not only advertising, but also sales promotions, internal communications, public relations and other disciplines. Business objectives include building brand awareness, raising company profile, promoting products and services, improving employee awareness, and increasing customer loyalty. While the majority of promotional products businesses are small, the top 40 distributors in the industry had sales between $32 million and $240 million for 2006. Currently control of sales lies predominantly with independent sales representatives, as there is little brand recognition of individual distributors. Ace management has addressed this growing market by employing leading technology for research, ordering, tracking, fulfillment and warehousing, print and forms management, e-commerce, database management and value-added services, as well as advanced communications to build a wide-ranging sales force with deep industry knowledge and connections not limited by location. Business Strategy Ace Marketing’s growth to date is based on a scalable corporate structure, using top-of-the-line technology, to create advantages over most small distributors by: · Quickly targeting the best products and prices to meet a client’s needs, · Providing in-house art capabilities for rapidly customizing merchandise, · Providing fulfillment and warehousing services for inventory or custom programs, · Offering direct overseas importing for large quantities, · Providing incentive and reward programs for both customers and employees, · Providing full service print and forms management solutions, · Providing full e-commerce solutions, including company stores and website design, · Managing purchase orders consistently from query to final order, · Tracking shipments effectively regardless of size or the overseas location of the supplier, and · Offering database management software, which integrates with each service offered and allows the customer the ability to quantify the results of any given marketing campaign or promotion. In addition, Ace offers a wide array of services not offered by most distributors. These additional services allow our salespeople the opportunity to open new doors and create more sales with both new and old customers. By providing all the necessary back-office support, these efficiencies also free salespersons to focus on selling. The in-house computer system allows access from off-site, enabling sales staff to operate from any location.

Green Baron Conclusion Consider each location where you shop, eat, and find entertainment to be real estate where Proximity Marketing would reach you. Each of these locations will be considering the best way to deliver more relevant content to you for free (i.e. coupons at the point of purchase). Ace Marketing & Promotions has plans to lock up agreements with as much real estate as possible. Advertisers realize this form of advertising works, and it’s quantifiable so the advertiser only pays for those that receive it. Advertisers are quickly moving dollars away from magazines and newspapers into new venues like Mobile Marketing. This marketing segment is expected to absolutely EXPLODE over the next several years. A recent market analysis forecasts that proximity marketing will grow from a $4 million industry in 2010 to an $806 million industry in 2014. We believe Ace Marketing has the best technology to deliver Proximity Marketing. The Green Baron Report firmly believes Ace Marketing & Promotions is on the verge of knocking the ball out of the park. The Company’s Proximity Marketing products and services are now being evaluated by some of the biggest retailers, malls and sports venues in the world. The goal of a recent agreement announced March 31, 2010 is to create the largest Proximity Marketing network in the U.S. The potential downloads for this network should be in the millions. In this announcement, Ace Marketing was granted the exclusive right to sell Proximity Marketing products/services within the Sports & Entertainment vertical in the U.S. AMKT has about the biggest potential of any stock we have evaluated. Even better, AMKT is coming off a year-low and we believe it is ripe for a big move up. This is definitely a stock that members should own both near and long-term. We strongly support this Company, and if you conduct any due diligence on your own, we believe you will agree. We conservatively see AMKT going to $2.50 by year-end 2010.
