Y3K Technology Drives the Launch of ConsumerFirstShopping.com
Unique Online Shopping Network Offered Exclusively by Consumer
First BELLEVUE, WA, April 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Y3K Secure
Enterprise Software, Inc., (OTC/BB: YTHK), an end-to-end unified
communications and technologies company serving the small to medium
sized business market, announced today the completion and launch of
ConsumerFirstShopping.com, the online shopping club offered by
Consumer First, a national financial services and consumer
marketing company. Y3K and its technology partners developed the
transaction management software that aggregates merchants and
tracks online transactions. The custom, server-based, enterprise
software package licensed to Consumer First provides powerful
network infrastructures for data management and manipulation, site
search and navigation, affiliate tracking and communication
requirements. The system catalysts provide software applications
that are readily administered and managed by Consumer First and its
national sales team. The design of the transaction management
software is part of a licensing agreement through which Y3K
receives a percentage of the commissions paid by the merchants in
the affiliate program and a percentage of the merchant sign up fee.
Currently, ConsumerFirstShopping.com has over 100 merchants, and is
expected to grow through the 7,000 member national sales force of
Consumer First. The built in "buyers club" of more than 45,000
registered cardholders and advocates of Consumer First can choose
from popular name brands ranging from Avon and Blue Nile Jewelry to
Disney, Dell Computers and Petco. This Consumer First model is an
historical first in which consumers receive benefits when consumers
spend at any of the businesses within the network. "We are very
pleased with the functionality of the custom transaction management
software developed by Y3K and its technology partners," stated
Stuart Graham, CEO of Consumer First. "We unveiled the network this
past weekend to our sales force and members, and they found the
system very easy to use and they are excited about selling the
program to businesses across the nation." To view
