NEW YORK, NY, Jun 03, 2002 (INTERNET WIRE via COMTEX) -- JSDC, Inc. (OTC:
JSDC), announces its division RemodelingConnections, premier on-line e-Showroom
provider among Building Material Dealers, signs an agreement with Martin
Millwork, Inc., Springfield, MA, one of the oldest and largest building material
distributors in New England. The agreement calls for Martin Millwork to purchase
an e-Showroom for the 16 products they distribute. This customized electronic
Product Showroom will provide real-time product information that will be
catalogued, stored, kept up-to-date and made readily accessible on-line or at
the Point of Sale.
Martin Millwork, Inc. will actively endorse the e-Showroom program to their
retailer customers. Co-op Advertising funds will be made available to assist
interested Dealers with the cost.
"Martin Millwork is the first distributor to receive a demonstration of our
e-Showroom capabilities, explains Jim Duffy, JSDC's CEO. "They are one of the
most progressive distributors on the East Coast and they consistently promote
and partner with their retailer customers in the marketplace. We believe this
relationship can provide further input and refinement in building a cohesive
electronic conduit between manufacturers and retailers."
"Martin Millwork shares our vision. They recognize how their business would
benefit and also that of their retailer customers. They want to be the catalyst
behind every independent home center in New England building an e-Showroom of
their own. It is a win-win proposition. High visibility in local markets for the
manufacturer/distributor's products and the retailer gets a "21st century sales
and marketing tool" which can be paid for with Co-op Advertising funds already
allocated to them. Everyone benefits."
