BYOC News: Beyond Commerce, Inc. Announces Letter of Intent to Acquire AdJuice, Inc.
Leading Online Ad Network and Lead Generation Company Brings Unmatched Consumer Products, Programs and Services HENDERSON, Nev., May 4, 2010 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Beyond Commerce, Inc. (www.beyondcommerce.com) (OTC Bulletin Board: BYOC) today announced signing a Letter of Intent to acquire AdJuice, Inc. (www.adjuice.com). The Board of Directors of both companies have approved the acquisition and the transaction is anticipated to close within the next 10 business days. AdJuice, Inc. is a leading online Advertising Network and Lead Generation company with over 22 million registered users, 700 affiliates and 350 retail clients in six major industries. AdJuice offers sales leads for debt companies, auto warranty companies, auto dealers, banks and insurance companies.
The unique AdJuice operating system and process of generating online consumer requests for services uses its proprietary technology and dedicated call center, providing a premium service that consistently commands some of the highest rates for leads sold in the respective industries. AdJuice is supported by more than $7 million invested in developing the Company's proprietary technology.
"We look forward to joining Beyond Commerce," states Matt Hill, CEO and Founder of AdJuice. "Our company will act as a hub for future acquisitions and we feel this is the right time in the market for great companies and smart people to join forces under one roof to produce unmatched consumer products, programs and services."
"This is just the beginning of what will be a remarkable journey of growth for the company," adds Hill.
Today, the Internet accounts for approximately 20 percent of overall media consumption in the United States; however, advertisers now invest only 7.5 percent of their budget online. Therefore there is tremendous upside potential for marketplace growth as advertisers steadily bridge the gap.
As a result, by 2011, nearly 25 percent of all media consumption will be online, drawing 15 percent of total advertising dollars. The online advertising market is expected to reach $50.3 billion in revenue by 2011 in the U.S. alone; more than doubling 2007 levels and growing an anticipated 24 percent annually (source the Yankee Group) as brands increase online ad expenditures and publishers improve ad targeting, inventory and yield management.
"To capitalize on this vast opportunity, Beyond Commerce has repositioned itself into a media company and a technology e-commerce platform provider," states Beyond Commerce CEO, Robert McNulty. "We are currently in discussions with other media companies as well...in the ad networking, online advertising and local advertising space industries...which are also viewed as potential acquisitions."
"We believe these market segments, individually and collectively, are extremely fragmented," Mr. McNulty concludes, "and they offer tremendous unlimited growth opportunity for a roll-up strategy."
