TSIG--News Reverse coming 29x31 up 20%
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 7, 2000--TeleServices Internet Group Inc. (OTCBB:TSIG), known as TSIG.com, today announced that it has entered into a definitive letter of agreement to acquire GeneralSearch.Com, an Internet portal and search engine company that is debt-free and has more than $5 million of cash in the bank. TSIG.com believes this purchase signifies a historic development in the Internet world by combining a vast marketing network with a leading-edge search engine and portal, giving the combined companies the potential to register millions of Internet users at the lowest customer acquisition cost in the industry. In an article entitled "The Zero-Cost Acquisition Model," written and located at www.otcinternetstocks.com, TSIG.com's model is described as "drastically different than that of the traditional consumer acquisition strategy in that it has no top line consumer acquisition costs." The article goes on to explain that TSIG.com "accomplishes this by partnering with extremely well branded (and respected) charities and corporations such as United Cerebral Palsy, Coca-Cola, Lufthansa and the Disney Corporation, just to name a few." By contrast, TSIG.com's portal and search engine competitors, such as Alta Vista, Lycos and Yahoo!, are reported to be spending hundreds of dollars to attract each customer to their Web sites. The transaction will close after TSIG.com's 10-for-1 reverse split, which was previously approved by the company's shareholders. |
