BUFORD, Ga., Dec. 11, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- Brandmakers, Inc. (Pink Sheets:BMKS) moves to new and less expensive office and warehouse space with the same telephone numbers. Brandmakers currently trades on the pink sheets due to the late filings as announced on November 11, 2003 but substantial progress is being made to conclude the audit and file the 6/30/03 10 KSB and the 9/30/03 10 QSB.
Of more interest to shareowners and the investment community are new products to be launched in January 2004. We now have an Ink Jet Cartridge Vending Machine that is top of the line, dispensing 61 different selections holding up to 736 items. The machine will give change in $1 coins only. It is 72" in height, 41" in width, 36" in depth and weighs 615 pounds. It has an LED display as well as the necessary accounting features; a credit card reader will be an optional extra. There are seven full size trays that easily pull out and are flexible for adding or changing products.
The ink jet cartridge business is among the fastest growing in the United States and the world with billions in annual sales. Brandmakers has access to quality cartridges at a 40% to 60% discount of prices offered at major stores. These are brand new, compatible and remanufactured cartridges that contain the identical quantity of ink and are of equally high quality as the original printer brands and are warranted for one year.
Machine dispensing is favorable for security as well as avoiding the "slippage" problems experienced by all retailers. There are prime locations such as office complexes, Colleges and Universities, copy machine locations, 24-hour major grocery stores, shopping centers and many others.
Brandmakers is in the process of forming alliances with others in the ink cartridge business as well as distributors.
We are looking forward to marketing the Ink Jet Cartridge Vending Machine and participating in this growing business.
