Press Release Body: IMAGE Worldwide Announces Launch of Lucrative New Division Projected Revenues Expected to Reach $2.6 Million Annually Image Worldwide is proud to announce today the creation of a new division within the company, City Book Savings. Image Worldwide is parlaying its successful integrated media and entertainment marketing experience by generating this exciting new division in the Chicago market. Revenue projections are as follows: 2008 = $ 450,000 2009 = $ 1,250,000 2010 = $ 2,600,000 City Book Savings is designed to appeal to the most discriminating clientele within the city's most affluent areas. The hard cover book is set in a full-color, upscale format utilizing one of the most effective & proven delivery systems available: direct mail. City Book Savings will achieve 100% saturation of local neighborhood markets, businesses, apartments, single family homes, as well as post office boxes.
The custom designed geographic areas are set for a distribution of approximately 10,000 addresses per book. This will allow both the larger business and the small neighborhood establishment to participate in an affordably priced yet focused target market. One of the unique features of City Book Savings is the built-in tracking system designed to accumulate total revenue generated, originating neighborhood as well as City Book Savings return on investment. Due to weight limitations set by the post office, each neighborhood book will feature just 75 businesses. Management has calculated that advertising space will be full by the 2nd publication of each book, creating demand levels rarely achieved by print media or, for that matter, any media. This calculation is based upon ROI and the fact that there is an average of 2000 businesses per zip code in the Chicago market. The second sales stream of City Book Savings will be obtained by driving traffic from the massive distribution to a state-of-the-art web portal, www.CityBookSavings.com. Image Worldwide already generates over 6 million hits each month on the websites it manages. This new system will consist of a search engine that allows local as well as national businesses to advertise products and services to a large and captive audience. Advertising options available include mini websites, video commercials, audio commercials and printable coupons. The ability to purchase and maintain web marketing by the customer or business and promote "on the fly" is something that should also be of great benefit. In reference to the launch of this new division, CEO Paul Sorkin stated, "When you add the projected revenues of City Book Savings to our strong 2007 financial results we clearly have a tremendous upside. I believe our current and future shareholders could be getting very excited in the near term as we continue to renew and expand advertising contracts plus book celebrity events similar in fashion to those that we\'ve done with Beyonce, Jamie Foxx and Dancing With The Stars."
