Financial Media Group, Inc. Signs Contract With Leading Distributor, Baker & Taylor, Inc.
IRVINE, Calif., Oct. 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Financial Media Group, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: FNGP) , a diversified financial media and advertising company, is pleased to announce that it has signed a logistics and product support agreement with Baker & Taylor, Inc., a leading full-line distributor of books, video and music products.
Under the terms of the agreement, Baker & Taylor, Inc., will provide logistic and inventory fulfillment support to the Company to sell books and music through the Company's soon-to-be-launched social e-commerce platform, the Financial Tools Store.
"We are in the process of building a complementary e-commerce platform and Financial Social Network that will enable the Company to cross-pollinate its existing membership base of nearly 100,000 individuals, and our traffic, which averages about 300,000 visits every month," said Javan Khazali, Chief Operating Officer of Financial Media Group, Inc.
The Financial Tools Store is a single-source, social, e-commerce platform that will offer products and services to the Company's target demographic, which consists of investment professionals, students, retail investors and the nearly 77 million retiring baby boomers in the United States alone.
"Once I met with the key management team of Financial Media Group and saw first hand their excitement and passion, I knew they would be a good business fit with Baker & Taylor," said Richard Willis, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer for Baker & Taylor. "They showed me some of their promotional material and planned marketing campaigns, and again I thought that Baker & Taylor was a good business fit for this channel of distribution."
Products sold through the Financial Tools Store will include consumer electronics, business and finance related books, publications, computers and office supplies. Customer acquisition will be facilitated through competitive pricing, cross-promotion, and the Company's universal navigation platform, which allows visitors to wallst.net, mywallst.net, and the Financial Tools Store to seamlessly access content and information from the Company's other Web properties.
"We have several new initiatives that we are very excited about," Khazali said. "In addition to our flagship website, WallSt.net, our soon-to-be-launched Financial Social Network, mywallst.net, and the Financial Tools Store, we are also developing an education platform, and financial seminars. The best part of our strategy is that each of our brands complement each other, and play well into today's media convergence trends. As we continue to build Financial Media Group, Inc. into a lifestyle media company, we believe our ability to merge seemingly disparate platforms such as a social network and a retail outlet, will help us achieve our vision."
