These News relate to Asia4Sale, a ZSUN subsidiary.... OCT 27, 1999, M2 Communications - LONDON -- Shoppers are flocking to the internet in huge numbers to stock up for the last Christmas of this millennium and the first New Year Eve party of the next. Presents and drinks are being bought online well in advance so that the months of December and January are kept free. CyberEmporium Director Ross Clarke says that among the most popular items being purchased are fitness and health products, electrical goods, and European and New World wines. "The signs are," says Clarke, "that Christmas and New Year this time around are going to be one big party. Preparations have been in hand for some time, and with just two months to go the shopping traffic is speeding up." CyberEmporium (http://cyberemporium.asia4sale.com) is a unique online shopping mall where internet shoppers can buy top-range products direct from Asian warehouses with greater cost savings and convenience. Explains Clarke: "Our shoppers have the ability to order direct from Asian manufacturers and have the goods, many of which are just not available in the West, delivered to their homes. The merchandise ranges from electronics and CDs to Chinese arts and crafts and sporting goods, feng shui items and jewellery to gifts of all sorts and beauty products. Prices range from GBP15 to GBP625 (US$25 to $1,000) and all items listed are genuine licensed products. More than 50 companies are offering over 3,000 products, and more are expected to come on line in the near future. The secure online credit card payment system is operated by First Ecom, a major online credit card system forerunner, in conjunction with the Bank of Bermuda. CyberEmporium works in a different way to other e-commerce with shoppers placing their orders through CyberEmporium, direct with the warehouse in Asia. Goods are then forwarded by courier service anywhere in the world. "E-commerce is growing at a phenonimal pace," says David Wallen, Co-Director of CyberEmporium. "Shoppers worldwide are leaving the shopping trolley in the supermarket and buying from the comfort of their homes instead - and at lower prices." CyberEmporium is a franchise of Asia4Sale, a wholly-owned Asian subsidiary of ZiaSun Technologies Inc of the United States, and a joint-marketing arrangement with Cable & Wireless HKT IMS, the largest ISP in Hong Kong. -0- (C)1994-99 M2 COMMUNICATIONS LTDCONTACT: Ross Clarke/David Wallen Tel: +44 (0)171 630 5122 e-mail: cyberempo@livepr.net |
