PHARMACEUTICAL LABORATORIES INTRODUCES REFERRAL MARKETING -- Liquid Solutions® Referral Centers Expected to Increase Sales on a Profitable Basis -- Corpus Christi, TX – April 21, 1999: Pharmaceutical Laboratories, Inc. (OTC BB: PHLB), a leader in nutriceuticals with advanced liquid nutritional products, today announced that it is launching a Liquid Solutions® Referral Center program in several cities this May.  The Company plans to establish both company and independently owned Liquid Solutions Referral Centers. In creating this nationwide network, PHLB reported that it is targeting all markets from small rural towns to major urban centers in each geographic region. The Company also noted that it is currently reviewing numerous applications from several states. “The referral center program combines traditional marketing with the best aspects of direct sales and network marketing,” stated Company President and CEO Jerry McClure. “The concept is simple but powerful in that healthcare professionals, businesses, individuals, and fundraising organizations can earn significant money by simply referring people to one of our Liquid Solutions Referral Centers where they will find a reliable source of nutritional information as well as the best liquid vitamins, minerals, herbals, and aloe vera skin care products at great prices.” The Company's referral center program enables healthcare professionals, businesses, individuals, and fundraising organizations to receive 20 percent of all purchases made by the referred members on an ongoing basis. This provides a continuous source of income for the referring individual or organization without the need to sell products. “Having been in the nutritional products industry for more than a decade,” McClure continued, “PHLB has maintained its position as the leader in liquid nutritional technology through advertising, relationships with leading retail stores, and a solid reputation for quality liquid solutions. Recent trends in the $9.8 billion nutritional products industry require us to supplement our efforts with innovative and proactive marketing. In order to maintain positive bottom line results, we are designing these campaigns to require relatively low capital infusions, thus enabling the Company to increase sales on a profitable basis.” Individuals interested in owning or operating a referral center should call 800-856-7040 for more information.
