Let the good times roll :-)
LAWRENCEVILLE, GA, - Brandmakers, Inc., (OTC Bulletin Board:
BMKS) announced today that is finishing production on its first set
of Internet Kiosks. This new line of products for the Games
division will allow quick access to the Internet in such places as
Hotel lobbies, bus terminals, truck stops and other high traffic
areas.
The kiosks will permit customers to browse the Internet, check
e-mail, do research and play games. The fee-based service will
be accessed by purchasing time via bill acceptors located on the
machine. Each unit includes the ICIT TeleCenter as the core
multi-service, multi-revenue communications services appliance,
an easy to use high-speed Internet device that combines directed
Internet access with payphone and Point-of-Sale credit and debit
card transaction facilities. The ICIT TeleCenter is provided by
ICIT America of Ottawa, Canada, a strategic partner working with
Brandmakers in multiple new market and service development
endeavors.
In addition to the TeleCenter, each kiosk will feature a 17-inch
monitor atop the unit featuring a continuous display of
advertising for customer viewing. Finally, each kiosk will contain a
Cannon combination printer/fax/scanner, making each unit a fully
functional business workstation.
The first 12 units have been sold to Summit Communications
Inc., based in St. Louis, MO. These systems are due to ship by
the end of January 2001, with the next order to follow shortly. All
advertising that is displayed on the kiosks is initially pre-sold
lowering the usage cost for customers, while also providing
additional income for the location operator.
"We are thrilled to be working jointly with Brandmakers and
ICIT America on this project" Stated Bruce Hopson, Vice President
of SCI. "We look forward to the opportunity to assist in the
marketing of this concept". Added Hopson. SCI has the first 18
sites waiting for the kiosks in the St. Louis area, with other
development areas across the country in progress now. |
