CISI - IAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 15, 1999--CIS.com Inc.
(OTC BB:CISI) announced today the initial evaluation of its DemoMall.
The main purpose of the DemoMall is for demonstration purposes in an
effort to show the public how easy the stores are to navigate. It is
not the intent to emphasize the ultimate product mix that will appear
in the completed on-line mall.
The E-Shirts online demo store is designed to show retailers and
merchants, how they too, could profit by having a product for sale in
an online store even if they have only one product for sale. The Hot
Wheels Online demo store is designed to show how retailers and
merchants with more than one product can profit by having a store at
ecismall.com (E-Commerce Internet Shopping Mall). A visitor to the
mall said, "How much easier could it be? It's like using Windows
Explorer or file manager. It doesn't get any easier than this."
Many potential mall merchants from anti-aging health products and
automobiles to clothing and housewares have expressed their desire to
be included in the ecismall project. Though highly focused on the
Grand Opening of the computer product stores at ecismall.com, CIS.com
is in the process of attracting other merchants and is ready to
negotiate lease space and optional services at ecismall.com.
A soon-to-come E-Zine (Electronic Maga-Zine) is on its way to
keep investors, potential investors, and customers abreast of what is
going on at ecismall.com. "Basically, it is an online version of a
periodical. We want to offer the public an opportunity to receive an
informational newsletter (via email) that will include a copy of the
latest press release, upcoming events, stores openings, and product
specials." states Carlton Glassford, the design engineer for the
multi-online malls project. An online sign up form for this service
will be available on the mall.
CIS.com approach to operating this mall is no different than if
it were opening stores in a shopping center. Each store in the
ecismall will be managed as its own entity. CIS.com is hiring
multi-talented and multi-technical personnel who are familiar with the
Internet, the computer industry, have strong customer service skills,
and are willing to manage "their online store" the same way they would
if they were in a public mall. CIS.com, Inc. envisions well-managed
and highly organized individual stores within the mall. Each store
independent yet cooperating with the others.
"We are looking for store managers who are well rounded and would
like to become more specialized in a particular area of the computer
industry. For example, someone who is experienced with computer
products knowledge but, would like to be a specialist in a particular
product area. We will train them in-house as well as send them out for
specialized training in their selected area of expertise. In addition,
we intend to do a lot of cross training. A company can be a computer
company and not be successful as an online mail order company. It
takes a lot of customer service, product knowledge, and experience,"
said Carlton Glassford, the design engineer for the multi-online malls
project.
Ecismall.com will soon feature 25 stores that will be tailored to
a particular area of the computer industry. Instead of having aisles,
it will have separate stores for many of its categories. Over 1500+
search categories broken down into groups, categories, and
sub-categories have already been created to break down the
overwhelming selections of brand name computer products the mall will
be offering. Many brand name computer products the general public is
already familiar with will be featured.
Harold Stock, President of CIS.com said, "Carlton has years of
experience in computer networking, the computer industry, customer
service, and the computer mail order industry. We have a lot of faith
in his abilities and draw from his first-hand experiences to continue
to build an outstanding product."
