USA VIDEO INTERACTIVE CORP.
MYSTIC, CONNECTICUT, OCTOBER 30, 2001 -The Fleet Center, New England's premier
sports arena, has signed a contract with USA Video Interactive Corp. (OTCBB:
USVO; CDNX: US; BSE/Frankfurt: USF xxx.xxxx.xxx) to use USVO's Zmail solution as
------------
part of its current promotional campaigns. The Fleet Center is home to the
National Hockey League Boston Bruins, the National Basketball Association Boston
Celtics, and to a wide range of concerts and other special events. The initial
deployment of Zmail by The Fleet Center will focus on increasing sales of
premium seating.
Zmail is the first commercial product announced by USVO under its StreamHQ(TM)
architecture. Zmail combines the ease of email with the power of rich media and
uses the advanced real-time data capturing features of StreamHQ to give
marketers unprecedented feedback on the effectiveness of their promotional
efforts. This enables marketers to more strategically target their audiences and
refine the presentation of their messages to ensure a higher return on their
marketing expenditures.
"We're obviously pleased to be working with The Fleet Center on this campaign,"
said Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx, USVO's Senior Vice President of Sales & Marketing.
"Zmail is the best technology available for this type of marketing campaign
because it enables our clients to reach a precisely targeted audience with a
customized rich media message and then it provides ongoing reports of how the
audience is interacting with and responding to the communication. We're
confident that this delivers the added value our customers have been looking for
in Internet-based marketing."
