*** NEWS: OTC Financial Network Issues Research Report on HouseHold Direct.com
NEW YORK, Feb. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- HouseHold Direct.com, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: BYIT) today announced that a new research report published by OTC Financial Network is now available at otcfn.com
President of National Financial Communications Geoffrey Eiten commented, "By operating the first, and so far the only, e-commerce-enabled Internet buying club, HouseHold Direct is riding the wave of the tremendous growth momentum in e-commerce. The highlights and future prospects of this exciting e-tailing story can now be viewed on our website otcfn.com ."
HouseHold Direct.com is a private consumer buying club whose growing membership base has direct access to almost 1,000 manufacturers and distributors nationwide, leading to an enormous selection of products at a significant savings. Strategically located at the intersection of technology and commerce, the Company not only offers traditional brick-and-mortar shopping locations, but is taking the $50-billion wholesale distribution market to a new service platform by operating the first complete Internet e-commerce wholesale buying club.
HouseHold Direct has a sustainable competitive advantage by being the first Internet business to successfully implement a unique cost-plus handling model. With this model, the consumers benefit tremendously since they pay no mark-up or profit margin, but only a small handling charge. The Company is poised to rapidly increase its membership base to 838,000 by 2001, which will drive revenues to $200 million by the third year of operation.
HouseHold Direct is expected to grow so dramatically that it was discussed in a recent Fortune Magazine article as a possible takeover candidate. Considering the two other companies mentioned in the article, Accompany and Mercata, which are funded by founders of Microsoft and Netscape, HouseHold Direct is running in some very fast company, indeed.
Eiten continued, "When it comes to investing, timing is everything, and now is the right moment to get acquainted with this dynamic Internet firm with incredible growth potential. After this month's successful Grand Opening of HouseHold Direct's online shopping portal, we feel that there is a success story to tell to the investment community."
