MARKET WIRE 8:15 AM ET 05/12/14
LOS ANGELES, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 05/12/14 -- MMRGlobal, Inc. (OTCQB: MMRF) ("MMR" or the "Company") today announced that after the launch of the new home page for its patented MyMedicalRecords PHR in March, which can be seen at www.mymedicalrecords.com, signups for the Company's Personal Health Record accounts doubled in the first thirty days, with the trend continuing at a run rate of more than three hundred percent based on the first 10 days in May, without advertising. Given the early success, MMR will launch a new online media campaign starting this week based on keyword advertising, banners, affiliate programs and other forms of interactive online and smartphone advertising. The Company also announced that starting this summer, MMR will be running its new television commercial featuring Fran Drescher, TV's "The Nanny," in Associated Television International's programming (www.associatedtelevision.com), which is syndicated in more than 200 television markets, as part of a cause-related advertising campaign to sell Personal Health Records direct to consumers and benefit Cancer Schmancer. All of the Company's commercial advertising campaigns including the latest one featuring Ms. Drescher can be seen at www.mmrontv.com.
The Company also plans on announcing its first quarter 2014 results on May 15th in which revenue is projected to be the highest specifically coming from its core business of sales and licensing Personal Health Records products and services in the Company's history. MMR projects that trend will continue as it also launches a new national retail distribution program to more than 30 million consumers throughout the summer, starting this quarter.
