MINNEAPOLIS, MN--(Marketwire - July 21, 2009) - YOUnison (www.younison.com), the
value-added master agent for some of the world's coolest products, today
announced it has been appointed exclusive master agent by Preggioni, a
design and innovation firm based in Reykjavik, Iceland. YOUnison is
chartered with establishing a leading market presence in North America for
Magneat™, the ultimate headphone wire manager for iPods, MP3 players,
mobile phones, and other portable digital devices.
Magneat is a fashionable yet highly functional consumer electronics
accessory for the ultimate in headphone wire management. Its elegant yet
simple two-part design consists of a circular, wraparound headphone wire
storage device along with a powerful magnetic clip that combine to attach
the Magneat to virtually any type of clothing. Annoying excess hanging
wire, tangled wires, and wire storage problems when not in use are a thing
of the past with Magneat. Now, users can easily organize and control the
length, motion, and weight of their headphone or earbud wires, minimizing
the risk of tangling and relieving the ears of the weight and hassle of the
wires. Magneat is ideal for the fitness market, as well as outdoor,
consumer electronics accessories, fashion accessories, music/entertainment,
college bookstores, and a host of other markets.
Under the terms of the exclusive agreement, YOUnison will establish a
strategic distribution channel throughout the United States, Mexico, and
Canada encompassing distributors, sales agents, and retailers who will
stock and sell the Magneat product line. YOUnison will also provide a wide
range of value-added services including marketing, public relations, and
logistics, while supporting retailers and e-tailers with order processing
and fulfillment, inventory distribution, merchandising and a sales
enablement portal.
"Magneat is a must-have accessory product that should be sold alongside
every iPod, MP3 player, mobile handset, and related accessory," said Derek
Peterson, CEO of YOUnison. "This product delivers a unique blend of fun,
fashion, and function that sets Magneat apart as the pioneering leader in
headphone wire management. Its brilliant design, patented magnetic
fixation system, and must-have functionality combine to make a
one-of-a-kind statement about each user's style, fashion sense, and
appreciation for classic, innovative design."
Magneat is a new way to manage headphone wires while making a unique
fashion statement. It is available in a variety of colors and design
patterns that will constantly evolve and expand. Custom-printed editions
are also available for corporate, premium, and promotional purposes.
"YOUnison is a natural fit for Preggioni because their sales acumen,
established distribution channel relationships, and value-added services
provide the keys to successfully marketing and selling Magneat in North
America," said Dadi Agnarsson, CEO of Preggioni. "We've experienced great
success in our home market of Iceland and Western Europe, and with
YOUnison's market coverage, experienced team, and strong support
infrastructure we know we can anticipate even greater market penetration
throughout North America."

Europe, and Asia, as well as online at www.magneat.com. The MSRP in North
America is $14.99 for the standard rainbow color collection and $19.99 for
