March saw a variety of sales achievements for Bridges. Manitoba decided to
repurchase 350 site licences for 300 schools and 50 non-school sites. In
addition, a 39 site sale in Virginia capped a 141 sale month by the
company's sales team. These new sales plus a few resubscriptions carried
revenues in March to $467,750. This compares to $124,500 in revenues in
March of 1998.
Prospects Today, the daily labour market information Website provided by
Bridges.com to the National Graduate Registry in Canada, now has a French
version available to job-seekers and students. Perspectives Aujourd'hui can
be viewed at perspectives.bridges.com. This brings up-to-date,
user-friendly labour market data to people of both languages in Canada.
For the past several months, Bridges.com has been the nickname of The
Bridges Initiatives Inc. At the April 7, annual and special meeting, the
shareholders will decide whether they believe Bridges.com should become the
official name of the company.
Career Explorer is presently used in 32 per cent of Canadian and 6 per cent
of American middle and secondary schools. In order to more ambitiously
distribute CX into this market, additional sales initiatives will be
implemented in preparation for the 1999/2000 school year. Sales of the new
Career Advantage information service to libraries, postsecondary
institutions, and employment centres will be incorporated into these new
sales ventures. Specific plans for sales expansion will be finalized in
April.
