CyberDefender Launches National Retail Distribution Campaign With Over 40,000 Stores; Believes Exposure to Millions of Potential New Customers Could Add Up to $20 Million in Sales Over the Next 18 Months

Posted on: Thursday, 21 May 2009, 05:45 CDT

LOS ANGELES, May 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Pursuing its growth strategy of "investing into scale," CyberDefender Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: CYDE), a provider of award-winning PC security, Antispyware/ Antivirus Software, PC Optimization, PC Support, and Identity Theft Prevention solutions, announced today an agreement with Allianex, a leading provider of brand management services, to launch a new marketing program for the sale of prepaid cards for per use access to a full range of CyberDefender products and services via prominent, point of purchase merchandising displays at more than 40,000 retail stores throughout the U.S. CyberDefender believes this exciting new "brick and mortar" point of purchase marketing approach to selling CyberDefender's products will reach millions of consumers and could increase sales by up to $20 million over the next 18 months.

Mr. Gary Guseinov, CEO of CyberDefender, stated, "Until recently, the major channel CyberDefender has utilized to sell its products has been the Internet. Recognizing that a high percentage of our customers become repeat customers, we have initiated a strategy for ramping up the scale of our customer base employing carefully targeted significant new advertising investments encompassing important new channels, including radio, television, and with this latest launch, an "in store" retailer merchandising approach. Together with Allianex, we have shaped a program we believe is unique for a PC support services product and will generate a very high degree of new product awareness, as well as new repeat customers."

A Software Retailing First

Representing what CyberDefender believes is a "first" in its new retailer program, CyberDefender prepaid purchase cards will not be displayed with other software programs in a typical store's often confusing "technology section," but rather, in a separate, point of purchase retail card display right next to the cash register, where it will have extremely high visibility.

CyberDefender says its full range of products will be available on the pre-paid cards, for one or multiple uses, including its most recent products combining technical help with the most advanced security software.

Mr. Guseinov added, "We are very confident that adding this new marketing channel in time for back to school merchandising, will provide a substantial further boost to our customer base. In combination with the other successful advertising initiatives we have taken, as well as more to come, we continue to move closer to reaching our goal of becoming a profitable leader in the Internet security space."
