Eternal Image Enters College & University Market Through Agreement with Collegiate Licensing Company

Last update: 10/4/2007 11:57:01 AM

Some of the First Licensed Schools Include Purdue, Southern Methodist, West Point, LSU, Arkansas, Texas Tech and Syracuse

FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich., Oct 04, 2007 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Eternal Image, Inc. (OTC:ETIM.PK), a public company engaged in the design, manufacturing and marketing of licensed brand image funerary products such as caskets and urns, today announced it has executed an agreement to design, manufacture and market a line of university branded funeral products across the United States. The line will include collector-quality urns, caskets, markers/memorials and vaults.

"This agreement came about because we were called by a university that wanted to expand its offerings to its alumni with a higher quality product and had learned about Eternal Image through the marketing of some of our other lines," said Clint Mytych, CEO Eternal Image. "Our subsequent discussions with Collegiate Licensing Company expanded the opportunity to other colleges and universities, and here we are with several licensing agreements that form the bedrock of what we anticipate will be a long-term relationship with institutions of higher learning."

Universities rely on alumni investment through donations and the marketing of memorabilia to help fund operations, scholarships and endowments. It is estimated that the retail market for collegiate licensed products will surpass $3 billion in 2007. Royalties from the sale of these diverse products support many university initiatives including scholarships, operations and athletic departments.

"The market for collegiate licensed products has expanded a great deal over the past ten years," said Missy Peterson, CLC's Non-Apparel Marketing Coordinator. "It has been gratifying to see the growth in product offerings and distribution channels. For many individuals, the collegiate experience is the foundation of their post-graduate life and their affinity for their university lasts a lifetime - and beyond."

EI expects the university category to grow greatly in the coming years.

"Colleges are seeking to offer graduates high-quality products and professional services, and we have the expertise they need," said Mytych. "Not only do we expect our relationship with CLC to expand, we are speaking with schools - some of them major universities - that do not currently have representation but are interested in offering similar products to their own alumni."

Building Q, a licensing and marketing firm headquartered in Medford, New Jersey, represented Eternal Image in the acquisition of the license.
