Electronics Boutique Achieves Immediate
Doubling Of Internet Sales With
Introduction Of Improved Website

Products Available
WEST CHESTER, Pa., Oct. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Electronics Boutique Holdings Corp. (Nasdaq: ELBO - news), the
world's largest specialty retailer of electronic games, today reported that the September 1 introduction of its improved
website has triggered an immediate doubling of sales via the Internet.
The company's Internet sales of electronic games and software, accessories, video game systems and related products
were approximately 125 percent higher in September 1998 than in the preceding month. The increase over September
1997 was more than 700 percent.
Jeffrey W. Griffiths, Electronics Boutique senior vice president/merchandising and distribution, said the sudden jump
between August and September of this year shows that with its new website the company has raised its Internet sales
and marketing to a new level.
''For more than two years now, our consistent success in increasing sales via the Internet on a month-by-month basis
has demonstrated not only the attractiveness of our product line and our pricing but also the power of the Internet as a
sales tool,'' Mr. Griffiths said. ''The tremendous success of this new website demonstrates something else -- that the
power of the Internet can be multiplied when it is used creatively, and that Electronics Boutique is using it creatively.''
Electronics Boutique began selling over its website -- www.ebworld.com -- in June, 1997. The site now receives
800,000 or more visits monthly and offers more than 4800 software and video game titles, educational and business
software and accessories, and an e-mail newsletter with tips, author and celebrity chats, a twice-weekly bargain bin and
new title updates. |
