News for 'LFBG' - (Left Behind Games Selling Fast in Walmart Test Market)
MURRIETA, Calif., Nov 4, 2009 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) -- Left Behind Games
Inc. (OTCBB:LFBG), dba Inspired Media Entertainment, a leading publisher of
Christian video games, reports that the Walmart test market for Christian video
games in Texas appears to be progressing beyond the company's original
expectations. A representative who has been making on-site checks to verify
sales, reports that just two weeks after the initial inventory was displayed,
approximately 25% of the games have been sold.
Troy Lyndon, CEO says, "At the rate Walmart inventory is moving, they will be
out of games before Christmas, unless they reorder. We started sending out
letters of appeal to Texas-based church pastors on October 12th, and plan to
reach more than 10,000 churches over a 10-week campaign through Christmas. With
seven weeks remaining, and accelerated sales expected as we near the holidays,
we believe test results will be favorable leading to a broader national market
for Christian based PC games."
To enhance the company's marketing impact and increase sales, Left Behind Games
is distributing "Buy one from Walmart and get another FREE from us" mailers in
areas surrounding each participating Walmart store. This special promotion is
open to anyone anywhere. To take advantage of the offer, and/or find the nearest
Walmart store carrying the games, go to www.inspiredmedia.com/walmart.
Christian products have gained popular acceptance in the music and book sections
of retailers over recent years. For many years, Walmart stores have sold gospel
music and both fictional and non-fictional Christian books, including the
well-known Left Behind book series which has sold more than 65 million copies.
Yet, there are few, if any, moral or Bible-based video game choices for youth
and adults alike. With the introduction of the newest Left Behind and Charlie
Church Mouse PC video games as well as Keys of the Kingdom in approximately 100
Texas Walmart stores, the immediate response from consumers indicates a solid
level of interest in these products.
