ROWE.....IBM Deal-- Yes it is true! and More.... by: JinkySavGA 7 of 11 An IBM deal is in the works according to at least one person I know who is very close to this company. This critical in several ways-- first it could be Rowe's biggest client to date. Second, Rowe will set this up so that all IBM employees have access to Rowe's book buying capabilites at their work stations (desks). Rowe will be able to offer steep discounts to employees off all of its clients-- thereby competing directly with Amazon. Leanring more about Rowe.com: Go to Rowe.com-- the homepage has an interesting investor relations section. There's plenty of news there which has not been made 'public'. Look at current clients-- Hewlett Packard and Corning to name a few. These are big name clients. The client list is growing fast due to Rowe.com's ability to manage magazine subscriptions for major companies. This is why Rowe will succeed: As companies continue looking for ways to cut costs, Rowe offers a sure fire way to manage subscription costs and cut those costs. Look through the Rowe.com homepage and you can learn a lot about how this company works. It's a pure play internet company-- they DO NOT have a warehouse-- this is a big deal! They are a middle man in the sales process-- a web engine designed to manage client purchases of magazines and periodicals. Many of the clients who will come on-line this year will be major universities- and learning centers. Ever been to college library??? Well now all those subscriptions can be managed on a customized Rowe.com web page designed exclusively for a given college library. This is a huge advancement compared to how it's done now. The CEO of Rowe comes from Faxon-- which is now one of Rowe's competitors. Check out analyst coverage of the company-- 3 buys-- and another buy soon to come with a target of 100. More later. That IBM thing..... by: Kstore33 (38/M/Portland, OR) 11 of 11 Yes, this is in the works. May be a few days or weeks before it's 'official' news. Makovsky is the PR/IR firm handling Rowe. They should do a good job jump starting this thing. Hey, under 30 this is a steal. Under 50, it's still a great deal. This may be a long term thing-- consder that the biggest numbers in the periodical biz take place in 4th quarter. If you saw the most recent earnings you can tell that revenue growth is not a problem for Rowe.com. Read the prospectus and go to the homepage for Rowe.com-- it's the best way to get to know what this company is all about. Thye have patents on all kinds of stuff related to magazine subscriptions which will keep them ahead of the pack for quite a while. Plus-- they haven't even starting selling a lot of advertising-- and Rowe.com will reach the most desirable demos imaginable-- people working for top industry leaders. IBM deal with help stock price.... anyways I'm in for the long term. No pump and dump here.
