DAVIE, Fla., Oct. 3, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- China Direct Trading Corporation's (OTCBB:CHDT) wholly owned subsidiary, Souvenir Direct, Inc. (SDI), returned from the San Diego Postcard and Souvenir Distributors Association gift show with a first place in the best keyring division and sales to distributors with distribution in Illinois, Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming. This week SDI also began selling the Sutter's Mill souvenir line and proved that small minimum orders are in great demand. The company will immediately develop a line of generic keyring designs to fill the need of distributors in all areas of the country and purchase these through SDI.
Each year the PCSDA association has an awards banquet and recognizes the best of products, and for the third year in a row, Souvenir Direct has won the best keyring award with a spinner keyring design made for Kerst Photography in Big Bear Lake.
"After our first two shows we continue to increase our network of distributors which continue to compound future sales as distributors increase their buying of additional items from SDI. The new products we have developed over the summer were well received as we continue to innovate the souvenir keyring market," said Howard Ullman, chairman and CEO of SDI. "We look forward to our next show in Hong Kong in a few weeks," He said.
SDI is a wholly owned subsidiary of China Direct Trading Corp. that sells to the gift, souvenir, and promotional products industries and can be found at www.souvenirdirect.com.
