Mr. Paul Gorman reports
World Sports & Music Inc. has entered into an agreement with the Family
Guide and the Internet Marketing Consortium (IMC), both U.S.-based
companies to promote the WSMI.com on-line auction network.
This promotion is being done by the Family Guide and the Internet Marketing
Consortium where there is no financial consideration being incurred by
WSMI.com.
WSMI.com's on-line auction network has received the Family Guide Gold Seal
of Approval. The Family Guide is a highly visible, trusted brand in the
United States. For over 20 years, the Family Guide has distributed over two
billion magazines to households in the United States yearly. This new
relationship will give the WSMI.com on-line auction network access to the
Family Guide's huge managed data base, as well as instant exposure to
well-defined demographics. The Family Guide's current Gold Seal list
includes such giants as Ford, GM, Chrysler, Coca-Cola and McDonalds.
Internet Marketing Consortium (IMC) chairman, Beryl Wolk announces that the
WSMI.com on-line auction network will be the first organization to receive
consortium-wide promotion. This promotion will be delivered in the form of
network buttons, interactive banners, and talking pages on the IMC's 57
high-volume Web sites. The IMC currently has a combined 250 million hits
per month. This exposure will be afforded to WSMI.com at no cost. This
program is scheduled to coincide with WSMI.com on-line auction network
launch in September, 1999.
WSMI.com in conjunction with its other Web sites going live in September,
announces its highly anticipated Million Dollar Sweepstakes on the WSMI.com
on-line auction network. This sweepstakes will feature a 1994 Team Lotus
Formula 1 Race Car, original artwork, and hundreds of other prizes. This
sweepstakes will begin in Sept. 30, 1999, the live date for the network,
and the draw will be held Jan. 1, 2000.
"The network is really coming together," said Chris Bradshaw, chief
executive officer and chairman of WSMI. "The Family Guide's Gold Seal of
Approval will take the fear out of bidding for millions of on-line
customers. This along with the IMC promotion we feel gives us added
credibility with a growing base of on-line shoppers."
WSMI.com specializes in on-line marketing of sports and entertainment
collectibles merchandise. WSMI.com licenses on-line network of auction
sites and e-tail stores to help traditional businesses establish an on-line
presence through partnerships. WSMI.com is a charter member of the Internet
Marketing Consortium.
