Tuesday December 14, 2:09 pm Eastern Time Company Press Release SOURCE: WSi Interactive Corporation WSi Interactive appears on Caspar Weinberger's World Business Review TV series VANCOUVER, Dec. 14 /CNW-PRN/ - WSi INTERACTIVE CORPORATION Symbols: CDNX-WIZ OTCBB-WIZZF WSi Interactive Corp. is proud to announce the appearance of Theo Sanidas, President of the Company, on World Business Review. The weekly television series focuses on technology and is hosted by Caspar Weinberger, chairman of Forbes magazine and Secretary of Defense during the Reagan administration. Joining the discussion as industry expert is Harris Miller, president of the Information Technology Association of America (ITAA). The topic of the panel discussion is Internet/Intranet Solutions. ''WSi Interactive was selected to appear on the program because of its innovative strategy of blending the Internet medium with sound marketing techniques and business proficiency,'' said Howard Weiner, the show's associate producer. WSi combines its ten years of Direct Marketing experience with its hardware and technical expertise to build and promote compelling e-business sites that are able to drive revenues. WSi is building proprietary on-line businesses as well as businesses for third parties. WSi also hosts or co-hosts sites, providing all the tools and services for achieving online success. It is this unique combination of marketing and e-commerce expertise that sets WSi apart from most competitors. Sanidas appears on the program to discuss WSi's Internet businesses and how its Web sites have been able to become profitable in such a short time, among other issues. ''Not many companies today have complete Internet business solutions, which are complemented by proven traditional marketing skills,'' said Sanidas. He added, ''WSi is certainly unique in this regard.'' WSi applies its understanding of marketing Web sites and building traffic to generate revenue for both its proprietary businesses and for the on-line businesses of its clients. The Company has begun to cross-sell its new services to its direct marketing client base, providing access to literally millions of subject-related, targeted ''opt-in'' e-mail lists for clients operating in business-to-business and business-to-consumer marketing contexts. The program also features a field report from the Los Angeles Film School. The institution partnered with WSi, which designed and built its site. WSi developed the Los Angeles Film School's intranet system and assisted in marketing to its students through e-mail and traditional direct marketing channels. WSi helped the school meet its need to offer classes online, assisting them in providing videoconferencing and video streaming to their students. Today, having an attractive, effective Web site that enables companies to communicate, access information and sell their products in a secure transactional environment is a mere foundation to leveraging the power of the Internet. These sites must be marketed, maintained and hosted in such a manner as to attract, generate and accommodate revenue-building activities. WSi was developed to address this burgeoning opportunity and the enormous profit potential it holds for their clients. In building its current infrastructure, WSi applied its marketing strengths to create an extremely profitable and rapidly expanding Web-based investment-related site. The Company is developing and will market not less than 11 additional proprietary Web businesses that turn a profit over the next eighteen months.
