Big Picture Doubles Sales Projections for eMERCHANT.pro
CALGARY, Sept. 23 /CNW/ - Big Picture Technologies Inc. (ASE:BPI) today announced that it has upsized its production and initial sales projections for eMERCHANT.pro, the Company's ecommerce ``Web site in a box' product. As a result of strong pre-release orders, and robust retailer interest at last week's RetailVision show in Chicago, the Company has virtually doubled its initial Q4 sales projections to exceed 3,500 units.
``The consistent message we received at the show was that we had the right product at the right time', said Michael Anthony, Big Picture President & CEO. ``This is evident in higher than expected rates of reseller `pick up' and acceptance of the product. We are currently in active discussions with four leading national retailer chains and we have just reached agreement with a major computer manufacturer--who cannot be named here--to provide eMERCHANT.pro to its customers.'
The computer manufacturer will provide eMERCHANT.pro in that company's Web solutions center, as part of a special bundle with selected hardware. eMERCHANT.pro will also be offered as a standalone product on this manufacturer's online shopping service.
``We are delighted with this initial level of channel commitment to eMERCHANT.pro', added Anthony. ``The show helped position us as ``best of breed' in this emerging market'.
eMERCHANT.pro offers everything a small or home office merchant would need to develop and deliver a truly interactive, ecommerce Web site in a matter of hours. The product comes complete with templates to create powerful, customized Web sites, automatic registration of domain names, `back-end' facilities for secure credit card processing and full shopping cart functionality. In addition, the product will also be available with free hosting services and the industry's first truly interactive online sales facility, called Telemarketing. A joint development project of Big Picture Technologies Inc. and Morgan Media Inc. of Sidney, British Columbia, eMERCHANT.pro will be officially released in mid-October.
Big Picture Technologies Inc. (ASE:BPI) is a developer of award winning Internet software and content, dedicated to building solutions for business to business online communication. The Big Picture Web site is located at www.bigpic.com
