CIRT WILL SEE 1 CENTS $$$$$$$$$$$$$Evander Holyfield 'Real Deal Grill' from CirTran Goes Global Indoor/Outdoor Grill Endorsed by Former World Champ to Be Available Worldwide
SALT LAKE CITY, May 21, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- The Evander Holyfield Real Deal Grill(TM), the new electric indoor/outdoor grill endorsed by the former world heavyweight champion and manufactured by CirTran Corporation (OTCBB: CIRC) (www.cirtran.com), will soon be available worldwide through a new global marketing agreement announced today.
Iehab J. Hawatmeh, CirTran's founder, president and CEO, said his company has signed an agreement with Northern Response (International) Ltd. (www.northernresponse.com) of Toronto, a leader in the direct response, home shopping and retail product distribution industry.
Under the terms of the agreement, Northern Response will obtain exclusive worldwide rights to market The Real Deal Grill outside the U.S. via TV shopping channels, direct response TV, retail stores and online from Web sites hosted locally. Northern Response will also air the CirTran-produced infomercial featuring Holyfield on TV around the world and on stations whose signal reaches both sides of the U.S.-Canada border.
"CirTran is confident that Northern Response is an ideal partner to give this great new product a world-class launch," he said. "Northern Response has built an enviable track record over the past two decades in the direct response industry and shares our enthusiasm for The Real Deal Grill (www.realdealgrill.com)."
The Evander Holyfield Real Deal Grill is manufactured by a CirTran subsidiary -- CirTran-Asia, Inc. -- which specializes in products for the direct response, sold-on-TV marketplace. The grill comes with a deluxe stand and multiple interchangeable cooking surfaces and other add-on items, making it what Mr. Hawatmeh called "a versatile cooking appliance for any occasion... camping in the mountains, tailgating at a game, or grilling at home." An infomercial featuring Mr. Holyfield and The Real Deal Grill first started airing in October 2007. CirTran then decided earlier this year to make various changes to the program, and plans to do media testing on the newly-revamped infomercial over the next four months.
Holyfield: A Knockout of a Product
A four-time world heavyweight champion, Mr. Holyfield said he is "very enthusiastic about the creation and promotion of The Real Deal Grill.
"I have traveled and fought all over the world, and those fans who saw me live and on television will have an opportunity to see and buy this great new grill," he said. "It is important to connect with a product like you connect with a punch, and I am behind The Real Deal Grill all the way. It's a knockout of a product, and I am committed to making The Real Deal Grill a true champion that everyone will want to own."
