This marketing relationship is expected to both raise the profile of GlobalStore.com and result in increased sales. "The shopping spree will provide us with excellent exposure to Axion's subscriber base as it will be prominently promoted on Axion's home page," says Steve Stout, president of GlobalStore.com. GlobalStore.com will sponsor a weekly contest for Axion subscribers. In addition to the exposure the contest will receive on Axion's Web site, Axion will include a section on the GlobalStore.com merchandise available in each issue of its monthly E-mail newsletter. The contest is exclusive to Axion subscribers. "We are excited about Axion's new relationship with GlobalStore.com," says Praveen Varshney, president of Axion's wholly owned subsidiary, AI Axion Internet Communications Inc. "Not only will GlobalStore.com benefit from increased exposure through Axion's more than 18,000 corporate and residential subscribers, but Axion's subscribers will appreciate the valuable content provided by GlobalStore.com, which will be accessible directly from Axion's Internet portal, Axion.net (www.axion.net)." We believe that this initial agreement will lead to an ongoing mutually-beneficial relationship between Axion and GlobalStore.com," added Mr. Varshney. The agreement also provides GlobalStore.com with the opportunity to do follow-up permission marketing. If consent is received from the Axion subscriber, an E-mail will be sent offering a discount on selected GlobalStore merchandise. "If this marketing and promotional initiative with Axion works as well as we expect, we will be seeking to replicate the contest with other ISP companies," says Mr. Stout.
