German term or phrase: gleich umdrehen
"Gleich umdrehen und bis zum 30. April 2010 starten"

Does anybody know what "gleich umdrehen" means?

The context of the marketing piece means signing up to a new way of advertising on the Net.

Many thanks:)

Explanation:
Just another way to say the same thing as Michél.

It could also possibly mean, "to flip over" if it's talking about a card you have to fill out for example.
