QBIZ has news, LOL but everytime they do, the stock drops, I'm almost afraid to post it.
QuikBIZ Express Will Bring Local Media Duplication Services to Every
U.S. Market
-- Proprietary Online Ordering System, Same-Day Nationwide Pickup Will Simplify and Expedite Project Completion --
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 2, 2000-- QuikBIZ Media Centers, a subsidiary of QuikBIZ Internet Group (OTCBB:QBIZ - news),
will begin providing local service to markets throughout the U.S., with its up-coming launch of QuikBIZ Express Website. QuikBIZ Express will offer video and
multimedia duplications, labeling, and packaging, through a proprietary, automated online ordering and tracking system. Same day pickup of the client's masters
represents a unique breakthrough, especially for businesses that have no local media duplication, packaging, and fulfillment services. QuikBIZ Express is expected to
go ''live'' on February 16, 2000.
Clients will simply log-on, place their orders, and print a QuikBIZ Express waybill. When the pickup driver arrives, the client need only hand off the waybill and
master(s). QuikBIZ Express replaces traditional models for media service bureaus. ''If you're a business that needs media services and duplications, you have to find
a place that does it, shop for prices, get your masters to the company, and ship out your dubs. It's an unproductive process. The time, expense, and inconvenience
are unjustifiable in today's marketplace,'' said David Bawarsky, QuikBIZ's President and CEO.
Bawarsky said that many U.S. cities do not have local media service bureaus or duplication companies. ''A quick online search for Biloxi, Mississippi revealed that
the nearest video duplication service was 20 miles away; there are only two within 50 miles. In essence, QuikBIZ Express puts us in the neighborhood of every
business in that city - and every business in every city and town in the country. It also provides the ease of online ordering and door-to-door pickup, from the
convenience of one's desktop.'' DHL Worldwide Express will provide the pickup service for QuikBIZ Express clients throughout the U.S.
Bawarsky said also that QuikBIZ Express would provide published pricing that is competitive with major markets, such as Chicago, New York and Los Angeles.
''At the moment, if you're outside a major market, you're probably paying premium prices and getting slower turnaround for your projects. QuikBIZ Express will
level the playing field and remove geographical boundaries.''
QuikBIZ Media Centers expects that by broadening its potential market base beyond South Florida, QuikBIZ Express will open new revenue streams. In a 1998
report, INSIGHT Research Corporation estimated that the total US market for multimedia services should grow to $74 billion in 2003.
Bawarsky said that, as QuikBIZ Express grows, the company will add regional QuikBIZ Media Centers to act as hubs, serving clients in their respective markets
and fulfilling online orders.
''QuikBIZ Express will afford local convenience, competitive pricing and high quality services to any business, anywhere in the U.S. It will give our clients the
security and instant gratification they need in a business environment that today demands greater efficiency and productivity.''
