SearchHelp Unit Engages Leading Points Corp. for Military Marketing Initiative
SYOSSET, NY--(MARKET WIRE)--Mar 24, 2009 -- Sentry Parental Controls, a division of SearchHelp, Inc. (OTC BB:SHLP.OB), has contracted with Leading Points Corporation to market its award winning Child Internet Protection product to US military personnel worldwide.
"We were looking for a market niche that would be largely unaffected by current financial conditions and determined that military personnel, as a group, were the perfect fit," say Jeffrey Greene, SearchHelp CEO. "Unlike most of the economy, this is a market segment that is all but immune to layoffs and cutbacks. It's also a target that can be addressed very cost-effectively through special interest print, broadcast and online media.
"But there is one other factor that's as least as important as simple business considerations."
"The United States military has always done whatever was asked of them but never more so than in the past several years," continued Greene. "The sacrifice these men and women have made is a hard debt to repay but, as a start, we've designed a discount program exclusively for the use of military personnel and their families. This will put our premier parental control program into their hands for less than nine cents per day. That's the lowest cost in the company's history and we feel privileged to be able to offer it to this deserving group of fine people."
The active duty, guard and reserve members of the U.S. military and their families number some 3.3 million persons. Adding in veterans increases that to nearly 35 million. Leading Points plans on reaching out to Military personnel through the military exchange retail stores, multiple websites, Radio, and print ad networks that it has worked with on other efforts in the past.
"This is a win-win for everyone involved," says retired Lieutenant Colonel Kevin Sullivan, founder of Leading Points Corporation. "Having two young girls myself, I'm a firm believer in the product. SearchHelp is giving us the opportunity to make it available to the entire military market at an extraordinary price."
