DALLAS, TX - (01/26/10) - Artfest International, Inc. (OTC.BB:ARTS - News) is pleased to announce that the Company has signed an agreement with Jumpstart Marketing, Inc. to help Artfest International accelerate growth through retail channels. The company will employ the services of Jumpstart Marketing, Inc. to manage its 2010 marketing and promotional campaign. With the addition of Jumpstart Marketing, Artfest is set to increase its number of sales venues by 30-40 in 2010.
Jumpstart Marketing strives to achieve results for its client companies through an integrative approach to marketing, sales, and consulting. Jumpstart utilizes their experience with mass-market retail channels and close tie-in with Hollywood celebrities and celebrity athletes. Jumpstart has helped their clients develop business opportunities with most of the major stadiums and arenas throughout the country. They create brand awareness by achieving successful placement of a company's product(s) where they can be seen on TV, in Movies, at Sporting events and in Magazines. This offers a significantly lower cost of promotion than traditional advertisements in the above media as well as creating product "endorsements." "We are excited to begin our marketing campaign with Artfest International. With our extensive portfolio of celebrity contacts we know this will be a beneficial relationship that will have a positive impact on their exposure and brand awareness. We have been very successful over the years introducing companies to major sports venues, and are set to introduce Artfest International to several in 2010," stated Rich Cotler, President of Jumpstart Marketing, Inc. "Jumpstart Marketing offers us a substantial amount of exposure and brand awareness. They give us a great opportunity to increase our number of current venues, such as the Dallas Cowboys, Washington Redskins and the Atlanta Falcons home games. Each one of these venues generates around $25,000-$50,000 in sales per event. We are pleased to have formed this relationship as we continue increasing our shareholders value in 2010," stated Edward Vakser, CEO of Artfest International, Inc.
