hey smuggs - new relationships with publishers!!

"We are excited to be part of a new venture that will bring retailers innovative Web-based marketing solutions..."

"The Web has become a huge resource for consumers who search online and then buy offline in their favorite local stores," said ............................ chairman and chief executive officer.

"Our online solutions complement the way consumers use the daily and Sunday newspapers to find 'what's on sale' and other great values in their local markets."

Today millions of consumers research products online and then make purchases offline. Known as cross-channel shoppers, this group often turns to online catalogs and flyers for product information, availability and cost.

In 2003, cross-channel shoppers spent more than $130 billion offline on Internet-influenced purchases.* The average user of online catalogs and online flyers is 43 years old, and has an average household income of $61,878-an ideal target for retailers.**

"..........., .......... and ............. newspapers are the preeminent retail media in the country," said ...... "We are excited to be part of a new venture that will bring retailers innovative Web-based marketing solutions to extend the reach and life of their print promotions."

Members of this group, (who I'd rather NOT name at this juncture, find it yourself!!) currently provide 'content' for Looksmart's new Vertical search sites and will play an important role in a remarkable recovery fror Looksmart, IMHO.

And don't they learn a lot quicker than you smuggler, I can assure of that !! LOL !!
