News out on ETPI - web site completed ahead of schedule - looks good!
HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 21, 1998--Entertainment Technologies & Programs Inc. (OTC BB:ETPI), a fully integrated entertainment and amusement gaming company, is pleased to announce today's grand opening of Performance Sound & Light on-line catalog ( performance-s-l.com ), two weeks ahead of their original schedule. As was stated in a prior press release, Performance Sound & Light has experienced a substantial increase in sales in the past week coinciding with the initial opening of the web site, which was still under construction and included a very limited selection. Chairman/CEO James D. Butcher commented, "We feel our product mix and prices are the finest in the industry. Our paper catalog was very successful in generating sales, and we feel the internet provides us with an even greater opportunity to introduce our product line and guaranteed low prices to the consumer. Based on preliminary results, we anticipate a substantial increase in revenues next year from the Performance Sound & Light division as awareness grows. We are actively reviewing methods to advertise and market our web site, including major shopping search engines such as Yahoo! (Nasdaq:YHOO), Excite (Nasdaq:XCIT), and Microsoft's (Nasdaq:MSFT) MSN shopping network. Additionally, we will aggressively pursue methods of communicating our site to potential customers through direct e-mails to users of professional sound and lighting equipment, and establishing links to web sites supporting groups such as night clubs, disc jockeys, churches, bowling alleys and other major customers of sound and lighting equipment." With the opening of the Performance Sound & Light web site, the company will now turn its focus to the development of an on-line booking and concert promotion web site for Vision Quest Productions, which is slated for completion in January. --30--SCP/ho* CONTACT: Entertainment Technologies & Programs Inc., Houston Pete Cahill, 281/486-6061 ETPNLife@aol.com |
