SHELBURNE, Vt., Nov. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- In about the same amount of time it takes to brew a cup
of coffee, find a parking space, or wrap a present, a person can take care of all his or her holiday
shopping -- from the comfort of the home or office. Popular Vermont Teddy Bears made by The
Vermont Teddy Bear Company® (Nasdaq: BEAR - news) are now featured on Yahoo!® Shopping a
new online mall launched yesterday, just in time for the holidays.
''The internet is a perfect channel for our Bear-Gram® delivery business,'' said Elisabeth Robert, Chief
Executive Officer for The Vermont Teddy Bear Company. ''Through our radio advertising, people
have been hearing about our bears for more than ten years but now for the first time, they can actually
see them online before making their selection. All of our radio commercials are now tagged with our toll
free number 1-800-829-BEAR and our web site address www.vtbear.com.''

which to choose, there's a Vermont Teddy Bear for virtually every person on the holiday shopping list.

four minutes time.
Bear-Grams include the customized Vermont Teddy Bear, a personalized message printed on a gift
card, optional embroidery, and a chocolate bear paw treat. And there's no need to wrap the Bear-Gram
because each is sent in a colorful striped box complete with airhole and B'air Bag to ensure traveling
safety and comfort. Optional guaranteed next day delivery is available for all orders placed on line by 3
PM.
Since the company went on line in June 1996, more than 840,000 people have visited the site and more
than 25,500 orders have been placed. Approximately 2,100 people visit the site every day compared to
