I C E Medical Card Newsletter ® . . The Latest News & Information for Our Customers and Marketing Partners . Insurance & Medical Partner Edition Welcome to Those of You Who Are New to the I.C.E. Medical Card! Tag line about this newsletter- why to read it Greetings - From Southlake, Texas! INSIDE... Spring 2015 FROM THE CAPTAIN’S SEAT... Who Are We and What Is An I.C.E. Medical Card? What Is It All About? Why Do You - And Everyone You Know - Need One? Tom Force - Owner /Marketing Director Media: I.C.E. Medical Card Wins $20,000 Grand Prize in National Radio Competition! pg 2 Featured Partner: Priority ER - Houston, TX April 2014 pg 2 Public Service: ICE Medical Cards Launches “First Responder of The Week” pg 2 What Others Are Saying: Doctors and HSN - pg 3 For Newbies: The ICE Medical Card - “How Does It All Work”? pg 3 Business: Becoming a Partner - and Making a Difference pg4 As I write this column, it has been nearly five years to the day since my mother was rushed to the hospital from her apartment in Central Florida. The EMTs did a wonderful job of attending to her, and the doctors did all that they could, but there was no recovering from a burst anyeurism. Mom passed away two days later. What I did notice was that it took many hours from the time that Mom was first picked up until our family was notified of her predicament. By the time we were able to get to her side - she had slipped into a coma that she never came out of. In her last hours of distress she was all alone. Not long after her passing, I came across an article in USA Today that discussed the very difficult job first responders have in notifying next-of-kin of accident victims. Among the many stories of heartache (Moms not being able to say goodbye to their children, for example), this quote jumped off the page at me: “It can take many HOURS, and even upto a DAY, to find someone (next-of-kin) “ ~ Delaware State Police Spokesman Having just gone through this very issue, I could definitely relate! It was about this time that my daughter was working late hours and driving home well after midnight. I would “sleep” restlessly until I heard her car pull up. I always wondered how I could be certain that I would be the one called if she was in trouble. Or, would I wake to find out about it on Facebook? There had to be a way.... Many of you are familiar with the ICE Keytag, which was our first solution. Simple and easy to use, it is now in use all across the USA and in six other countries. It is very low cost and makes it easy to let first responders know exactly whom to call on behalf of an accident victim. My ultimate goal was to develop a new, comprehensive, tech based and globally workable solution...one that would allow these same hard working first responders and ER Doctors to know all critical information about the victim right at the scene. One that was easy to use, update, and didn’t require a “fashion statement”. It’s been in place and available for over a year now, while we’ve tweaked it and added extra features. THE I.C.E. MEDICAL CARD! Borne out of personal tragedy, the I.C.E. Medical Card is a patented and powerful means of conveying YOUR critical information to First Responders if you are ever unable to speak for yourself! See how it works - page 3. “Imagine your child or other family member being rushed to the ER. Their cellphone is broken from the crash, or lost or locked. First Responders have no way to get hold of you quickly. The ER doctors will know very little about them. When time is critical, they will be all alone, you will have no idea, and no one in the ER will know anything about any underlying medical conditions or whom to call. If they have an ICE Medical Card or Tag, all of the uncertainty will be gone in seconds. It works anywhere in the world a cellular or Internet signal is available”. ~Tom Force, President, ICE Medical Cards The Original “Shark” From “Shark Tank” - Kevin Harrington “There Are Amazing Benefits From This Product” Take some time and read through how we are working towards protecting 100,000 lives in 2015. Let’s make YOURS one of them! Recently ICE Medical Cards was featured on a pilot TV show titled “Gameplan”. Similar to “Shark Tank”, we discussed our service with several influential members of the business world, including Kevin Harrington. Kevin is an original “Shark” from season 1. Kevin had some great things to say about the ICE Medical Card. We invite you to watch the full episode at www.ICEMedicalCard.com/Gameplan I.C.E. Medical Card News ® Changes and Updates! We are always looking for ways to make the critical service that the ICE Medical Card provides even better and more effective. That’s why we were pleased to release these changes after some extensive reprogramming of our system. - Fully mobile optimized display. When you (or First Responders) go to yourice.info with their mobile phone or tablet, they get a perfectly sized entry portal to enter the account # and PIN. Entry is now done with telephone buttons, rather than the small numbers from the text menu! - All telephone numbers that are retrieved are one touch active. This means that when pulled by a First Responder, all they have to do is touch the # in the display and a call will be made to the next of kin. Time is of the essence, and with this new system, an EMT or law enforcement officer familiar with our card can pull critical care info and be calling next of kin in less than 30 seconds! Partner Spotlight - Priority ER You have probably seen them popping up all around - Standalone Emergency Rooms and Clinics. They seem to be everywhere.

Your supporters can enroll right on that page. We process the order and send the membership materials directly to your supporters. An individual subscription is $3.95/mo., or your supporters can select a family "4 pack" for $9.95/mo., which is below our advertised price. Your fundraiser will inevitably be comprised of a mix of individual memberships and family memberships. Traditional Sign-up forms with first month fee collected by your organization: Rather than purchase online, the organization members use an order form to collect orders and payment for the first month of service (either $3.95 for an individual or $9.95 for a family “4 pack.”). After your set selling period ends, send us the completed forms and payment. We fulfill by shipping the membership materials directly to the customer and pay your organization its portion of the fundraiser profits. The enrollee will initiate their ongoing subscription (via credit card) when they activate their card. CONTINUOUS PROFITS! Every month - each $3.95 subscription pays your organization $1.50. We bill quarterly, so you will receive $4.50 per enrollee every 3 months. The family 4-pack pays your organization $4 per month, or $12 every quarter. If you have 100 enrollees - this program, with full retention, would net $1800 annually, using just the individual membership. You can also have new enrollees come on at any time. CUSTOM BRANDED CARDS FOR YOUR ORGANIZATION! You have the option of creating a custom card including your organization's name or logo on the card and key tag. We require at least 250 enrollees for your program to brand the card. Use the sign-up sheets, collect the first month's payment, and when we receive the final count and payment, we will create your branded cards at no extra charge!
