First B2B Media Service Bureau Opens On the Internet

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 16, 2000--

QuikBIZ Express Provides Businesses with One-Stop, On-line Shopping Convenience for Media Services without Leaving Their Desktop

QuikBIZ Media Centers, a wholly owned subsidiary of QuikBIZ Internet Group (OTCBB:QBIZ) today announced that it has launched QuikBIZ Express ( quikbizexpress.com ). The site and accompanying services provide businesses with a quick, convenient, online solution for ordering and processing video and multimedia duplications and other media services. QuikBIZ Express is the first 24/7 Media Services site for businesses, providing online ordering, nationwide same-day pickup and order tracking without leaving the comfort of one's desktop.

Hundreds of thousands of U.S. companies, institutions, organizations and government agencies require media duplications for anything from marketing, promotional and training videos to multimedia presentations on CD ROM and DVD. "Price, selection, convenience, quality and speed are what QuikBIZ Express offers to all types of businesses. A few clicks, and we do it all. We're making business more productive," said QuikBIZ president and CEO David Bawarsky.

Although some media service bureaus provide pickup services for businesses within a few miles of them, the process can become cumbersome and time consuming. QuikBIZ Express makes it simple and easy. Businesses sign-on, select the master type, select the type of service and quantity, design labeling and packaging, receive pricing, place an order, pay on-line, and get dependable same-day pickup of their masters," Bawarsky said.

"Businesses are finding ordering products and supplies online is more productive and more convenient than conventional means. We intend to become the brand name to businesses for purchasing their media services needs online. We will be expanding QuikBIZ Express's services shortly to include video encoding to streaming formats, including; Real Media (Nasdaq:RNWK), Microsoft's Netshow (Nasdaq:MSFT), Apple's QuickTime (Nasdaq:AAPL) and other popular streaming digital formats," Bawarsky said.

Bawarsky said also that QuikBIZ Express services would be provided at prices that are competitive with major markets. "If you're in the middle of North Dakota, you're going to receive the same pricing as a client that walks into our QuikBIZ Media Center. The solution is ideal for businesses that have limited access to video or multimedia duplication services. But, he said, "Even if there's a dub house two blocks away from you, we're probably going to be more convenient. You won't even have to pick up the phone or get in the car."
