Innovative Shopping Site Launches in Partnership with Leading Industry Vendors






  March 9, 2001 (Santa Ana, CA) - Digital Media Online, http://www.digitalmedianet.com, the world's leading developer of B2B vertical online communities for the digital media market, announces the launch of the new DigitalMediaShopper.com, the digital media market's innovative online location for the tools and applications needed by professional content creators.

"DigitalMediaShopper.com is committed to working with industry leading retailers such as DV Direct, B&H Photo, The Electronic Mailbox and eMacSoftware to help professionals find the best prices on the hardware and software they need to get the job done," said Lou Wallace, CEO of Digital Media Online. "Along with our commitment to finding the best prices, we also offer detailed information resources to help them make educated buying decisions, including video demos of products, reviews, interaction with other users, and buyer's guides."

DigitalMediaShopper.com utilizes a request for quote (RFQ) system where professionals submit a list of products they are interested in purchasing. That request is then sent out to industry vendors who will follow up directly with a quote. This allows the purchaser to compare pricing and customer support from several vendors. In addition, DigitalMediaShopper.com has an extensive library of content to help make educated purchasing decisions. Video demos are available for viewing along with extensive buyer's guides and product reviews. User forums are also available to allow potential buyers to communicate and get product feedback from other professionals.

"The Electronic Mailbox is pleased to be part of the Digital Media Net community and we will continually support any resource that provides professionals and consumers with the information they need to make an educated purchase," said Phil Bettan, President of The Electronic Mailbox.
