THOMASVILLE, Ga., Sept. 20, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- SportsQuest, Inc.,
(Pink Sheets: SPQS) announced today that Fielding Eyewear
(www.fieldingeyewear.com) has reported that home shopping giant QVC
has confirmed that Fielding iBeemz™ Clip-on Reader Light, is
scheduled for an Oct/Nov 2011 Q4 air
date. SportsQuest is an investor in Fielding Eyewear and has
been working to secure them additional financing.
According to Fielding President, Greg
Vaughan, "We are elated that QVC thinks highly enough of
this product to feature it during the fourth quarter when such a
huge proportionate share of their billions in annual revenue is
generated." Vaughan added: "We've retained the services of a
Philadelphia based Sales &
Marketing firm that will represent Fielding on the set as a 'guest
host'. In addition to our on-air guest host being a former QVC
buyer, he has countless successful on-air sales experiences under
his belt. The marketing firm has incredible relationships
throughout the QVC organization and they represent our products
with passion. We look forward to continuing to work with them on
the iBeemz™ as well as other proprietary products we have under
development." Vaughan also added that the iBeemz™ inventory has
been shipped to QVC's warehouse and is now awaiting the Q4 air date
to be released.
QVC's worldwide corporate headquarters, known as Studio Park, is
located in West Chester, PA (30
miles west of Philadelphia). The
building sits on 84 acres of land and is roughly the size of 15
U.S. football fields. QVC is home to one of the most
technologically advanced television studios in the U.S. The
165,000-square-foot broadcast operations center enables QVC to
produce its live programming, which attracts more than 22,000
on-air guest visits each year and showcases more than 1,000
products every week. There are 18 permanent studio sets and more
than 100 portable scenic elements.
QVC is now significantly larger than many established
traditional retailers. Its mix of merchandise is similar to that of
a high-quality department store. Reaching more than 98 million U.S.
households and approximately 195 million cable and satellite homes
worldwide, QVC became the first multimedia retailer to offer a
high-def service to customers in May
2009. Although QVC is best known for its on-air programming,
its online counterpart, QVC.com, attracts more than 6 million
unique visitors each month and has received numerous honors and
awards. It appears that the current QVC.com customers have
discovered the Fielding iBeemz™ online, as this "customer
testimonial" was posted on the QVC website last week: "I bought
these (iBeemz™) to use with my Kindle. I have found that not only
do I like them, but the past several weeks our area has experienced
Hurricane Irene and tropical storm Lee. Lost power both times and
this sure came in handy. I could have read all night if I'd wanted
to... GREAT item!!!" "To be a part of the home shopping
giant's online store is a great opportunity and added bonus for the
iBeemz™, especially for the Christmas Holiday Shopping Season",
says Vaughan.
