B: H-NET.COM LAUNCHES REVOLUTIONARY 3D VIRTUAL TRADE SHOW FOR PRODUCTS/SERVICES
V-TRADE TO DRAMATICALLY CHANGE HOW PRODUCTS/SERVICES are Sold
NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y., Jan 10, 2000 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ --
H-NET.COM, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: HNSP) today announced the launch
of its revolutionary Virtual Trade (V-Trade) show www.h-net.net. Many
products for the optical industry are displayed in 3D on this unique
new website. Visitors and potential buyers can rotate, zoom and turn
displayed merchandise in all directions providing a more realistic
display.
Virtual Trade sets a new standard in business to business (B2B) e-
commerce. The high quality 3D product images allow buyers to enjoy
detail never seen before over the Internet. Purchasing decisions for
optical products/services can now be made on the Web, bypassing
traditional methods and eliminating travel, meetings and brochures.
V-Trade uses the H-NET(R) transaction processing network to transfer
funds, product inquires, credit information and product information
from the Trade Show E-commerce site.
Some of the world's leading optical suppliers are participating in the
launch. These include Bausch & Lomb, Zeiss, WECO, Symbol Technologies,
Hilco, Innova and Centennial Optical. Traditional optical trade shows
in 1999 attracted between 400 and 500 vendors.
Anton Stephens, Chairman and CEO of H-NET.COM, said, "We are
dramatically changing how optical products will be sold. H-NET(R) has
solved two major challenges facing E-commerce firms. First, we are
overcoming the 'touch and feel' issues of products being marketed via
E-commerce. Second, we have established a trade show that is always
available with the latest products/services showcased continuously.
Companies with new products or services will no longer have to wait
months for the next trade show to display and promote them. As an added
bonus we have reduced the stress and costs of presenting products to
buyers.
"V-Trade, which allows manufacturers to display products/services on
the Internet 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, also facilitates and
stimulates the sales cycle. Clients can easily visit any vendor, even
from home, and swiftly make purchasing decisions. From everything we
can see so far, this is a real winner," Stephens said.
H-NET.COM, Inc. is the global leader in providing E-commerce business
to business services to the vision care industry. The company is
deploying the H- NET(R) Internet-based transaction network and its
one-stop multi-service Internet portal to as many users in the vision
care industry as rapidly as possible. The company's relationships with
alliance partners Microsoft Corporation and COMPAQ (Nasdaq: CPQ) assure
the company of the most powerful solution for an Internet-based
transaction network that will set the standard of excellence in the
healthcare industry.
