Overview

TechLabs has organized its holdings to mold an enterprise that is building a significant presence in the lucrative direct marketing industry. The Company is positioned to deliver strong revenue and profit growth through the ingenious use of its highly regarded technology platforms as support mechanisms for its internally developed people-based bricks and mortar direct marketing operations. TechLabs' InternetChic Marketing, Inc. subsidiary is rapidly building a set of diversified direct marketing business that are seeking to capitalize on emerging trends and opportunities in the rapidly growing travel and wireless communications industries.


Strategic Plan

TechLabs is uniquely qualified to make a bold step forward into the direct marketing industry due to its foresight in making key investments to acquire and develop leading edge Internet technology that can be used to address the needs of a large-scale direct marketing business. The Company's MyStartingPoint.com web site, which it acquired advantageously from CMGI's Yesmail.com subsidiary, has long been recognized as one of the Internet's premier search and portal sites. It is the perfect platform from which to build personalized e-commerce sales portals for rapidly growing independent distributor networks. In addition, TechLabs' internally developed Interplanner.com personal information management web-based application provides independent distributors and their sales teams with productivity, time management and contact management tools that will enhance the performance of their growing direct marketing enterprises. Finally, in early 2000 TechLabs had the foresight to form InternetChic Marketing, a business-to-business marketing solution provider that develops and implements Internet marketing and web site traffic building programs for Internet businesses and traditional brick and mortar companies.

All in all, TechLabs is now positioned to deliver strong revenue and profit growth through the ingenious use of its highly regarded technology platforms as support mechanisms for its recently acquired people-based bricks and mortar direct marketing operations.

Operating Subsidiaries and Properties
 

InternetChic  (InternetChic)

Since its formation in early 2000, TechLabs' InternetChic Marketing, Inc. subsidiary has been focused on providing Internet-based direct marketing solutions to both Internet businesses and traditional brick and mortar companies. Among the many tools that InternetChic Marketing utilizes are e-newsletters and direct email marketing messages. Today, with TechLabs focused on the internal development of businesses that can move quickly to capitalize on emerging trends and opportunities in the direct marketing field, InternetChic Marketing provides the perfect structure from which to launch such endeavors.

Presently operating within InternetChic Marketing are the company's two latest internally developed ventures, TravelCardPlus, which is focused on emerging opportunities in the travel industry, and Direct Marketing, Inc., which is serving as TechLabs' sales and marketing arm for Northwest Bell Phones' exciting new The RF3 Next Generation Cellular Headset.

Direct Marketing, Inc.  (www.rf3store.com)

 

In April 2001, TechLabs signed an agreement with Northwestern Bell Phones, one of the world's leading manufacturers and distributors of telecommunications products, granting the company the exclusive marketing and distribution rights in the network marketing channel for Northwestern BellPhones' newest product, the RF3 Next Generation Cellular Headset. TechLabs expects to begin to market the RF3 Next Generation Cellular Headset during August 2001 through its Direct Marketing Inc. unit., utilizing a variety of network and direct marketing methods.

The new RF3 Next Generation Cellular Headset is the only cellular headset on the market today developed using AirCom™ technology - a wireless tube, air-driven sound delivery system that eliminates the use of conventional wires to the ear piece ­ much like a doctor's stethoscope. By eliminating the wire, RF3 also eliminates any possibility of electromagnetic radiation from traveling up a wire to the user's head. This is in stark contrast to typical wired headsets, which may actually serve to increase the amount of radiation that reaches the user's head. Instead, the RF3 Next Generation Cellular Headset utilizes a patent-pending, SPL enhanced pressurized air chamber that only delivers crystal clear sound waves to the user's ear.

According to the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association, there are more than 100 million people in the U.S. and 500 million people world-wide relying on cellular telephones and more than 45,000 new wireless subscribers every day (one every two seconds). Experts estimate by 2005 there will be more than 1.26 billion cellular telephone users around the world.

The RF3 Next Generation Cellular Headset directly addresses growing concerns about the negative issues that cellular technology may have on the health of cell phone users worldwide. Initial attempts to confront these concerns came in the form of hands-free headsets that are attached directly to the phone via wires. But a growing number of researchers have warned that such devices may actually serve to increase the amount of radiation that reaches a user's ear piece. In fact, Britain's Consumers' Association issued a warning to this effect last year and advised consumers to not purchase wired hands-free headsets.

TravelCardPlus  (www.travelcardplus.com)

TravelCardPlus has been developed to open the door for individuals to enjoy the large savings previously available only to members of the travel profession. With travel and tourism becoming the nation's largest service export industry, the third largest retail sales industry and one of America's largest employers, the time has come for a method that will allow the average person to capitalize on these large factions and profit areas of our economy.

According to the Travel Industry Association of America, the travel industry accounted for about $541 billion in revenue in 1999 from air travel alone. The average growth for this sector of our economy has been 7% a year, with revenues for travel projected to be close to ¾ of a trillion dollars by 2003. In 1999, travel spending in the U.S. averaged $1.42 billion per day, $59.4 million per hour, $989,300.00 per minute and $16,400.00 per second! The total travel sector is reported to be more than a $4 trillion per year industry.

Based upon the above figures, the average family in America spends a good share of their disposable income on travel. TravelCardPlus provides individuals with a method to cut those costs from 40 to 50 percent each year and to simultaneously produce an additional income stream.

By joining the TravelCardPlus program for the low base fee of $199, individuals become a member of the travel profession, eligible to receive certain discounts and courtesies that are generally available only to travel agents. Included among the benefits offered by the TravelCardPlus program are:

 

  • A Travel Agent PIN (Personal Identification Number)
  • A Marketing and Reference Manual with all the phone numbers and information needed to get started immediately
  • Professional Familiarization (FAM) trip offers on luxury cruises, resorts and tours
  • Travel Agent discounts on hotels and rental cars
  • Show and theme park discounts and free admission to certain popular attractions
  • VIP attention recognizing a member's Travel Agent status
  • Hotel and airline upgrade opportunities
  • Commissions on the travel of family, friends and clients
  • Money back on their own business trips and vacations

 

There are 3 different program options available from TravelCardPlus. The basic program offers individuals a discount travel card along with a free Internet travel page and email account that will allow them to earn $25.00 on each travel card that they sell for the price of just $199.00 each. They can also purchase the TravelCardPlus option and receive the discount card as well as a Internet web site that will allow them to book travel and earn additional commission income on those bookings. In addition, they can choose the hosting/search engine listing service for just $9.95 per month and have their site listed with the major search engines, as well as have access to templates that allow them to create their own personalized travel/income opportunity website.
