WebBox Exceeds Income Expectations For October, 2003; Wall Street Reporter Interviews Board Member
SUWANEE, Ga., Nov. 19, 2003, Nov. 19, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- Brandmakers, Inc. (OTCBB:BMKSE) announced that their Internet Division, MailStart-WebBox, exceeded income expectations for October, 2003 and continues to be profitable with exceptionally low overhead. The division offers free email service on www.mailstart.com limited to once per week usage to encourage sign ups to the WebBox subscription service, www.webbox.com . The WebBox annual subscription fee was increased in September, 2003 to $18 from $15, considered to be quite a bargain at just $1.50 per month.
WebBox is advertising-free and offers numerous features with up to five email accounts; address book; calendar; filters and folders to stay organized; attachment sending and receiving; spam filtering; zero wait technology; and a virtual office on the Web with 20 MB of dedicated file storage.
Brandmakers acquired MailStart in June, 1998 and traffic increased from 300,000 impressions in the first month to over 30,000,000 impressions per month by January, 2001 with in excess of 1,000,000 users.
"However, we could not make it economically with advertising so we commenced the subscription service for WebBox in February, 2001. Consequently, our highest cash flow months come from renewals in February and March of each year.
"The cash flow has been quite significant for the division and Michael Hudson has performed exceptionally well in keeping the service running with gradual improvements," reported Board of Directors member Bob Palmquist.
Wall Street Reporter, www.wallstreetreporter.com, interviewed Bob Palmquist on November 18, 2003 and was provided with current information regarding Brandmakers including two products that will be topics of future news releases as company plans now call for keeping shareowners well-informed.
Brandmakers, Inc. consists of two divisions, Games and Vending, with new products soon to be announced, and MailStart-WebBox.
