...How do some people describe UBER?

“You are in San Francisco, do you really need a Town Car to ride in?”

Thursday, March 21, 13

Somehow UBER is losing its steam...

Our team’s objectives

INSIGHT

During the workweek, Time is Money...

...On the weekends, Time is Priceless!

People value their time, and they especially value their free time on

their days off work.

Thursday, March 21, 13

Wasted time on the weekends

leads to frustration, desperation and

regrets.

In other words...Thursday, March 21, 13

...People lose their Mojo

“Keep it groovy, Baby! Yeah!”

Thursday, March 21, 13

You’re at the barlookin fly...

...downing drinkswith your boys.

Your game..?It’s spot on.

Of course.

You meet that girl on the dance floor...

...and you can tellit’s getting to be

that time...

Imagine this...

Thursday, March 21, 13

You are ready to head backto your place... ...and the cab

never shows up.

Losing your cool = GAME OVER

• When people experience an inconvenience on the weekend, they are losing more than just their money.

• They are losing their chance to relax, socialize, and enjoy the time they worked so hard to earn during the week.

thank you.
