Monday, May 19 2008 - 8:00


BEVERLY HILLS, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 05/19/08 -- Salon City, Inc. (OTCBB: SLON), publisher of Salon City magazine and producer of live events and online branded entertainment, announced today it has begun the process of selecting an independent, Los Angeles-based, national magazine advertising sales agency to augment the company's existing sales efforts. This agency will report directly to Salon City, Inc., and will oversee a soon-to-be-established national sales force of independent regional magazine ad sales representatives.

The first step is the selection of the LA agency, which should be completed by early July. Next is the selection of the regional representatives, who will be based in such major advertising markets as Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Detroit, New York City and San Francisco. The selection of the sales reps should take place in time for the fall media buying season.

"We have a very exciting time ahead of us!" enthused SCI president and CEO Steven Casciola. "We've finally become a bulletin board company, our magazine is beginning its second year of being on major consumer newsstands worldwide, and we've launched online entertainment that appeals to advertisers seeking exposure in that medium. Having a national sales force in place gives us representation that can go after larger consumer markets while still minding our existing trade advertising market.

"For the first time, we have multiple media products available. And with this new team, we can speed up plans to generate more revenue, more advertisers, and more companies buying into our branded entertainment packages."
