SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwire - 08/11/09) - Metatron Inc. (Pinksheets:MRNJ - News) today announced that its partner company, i-Mobilize, has entered into a development and marketing agreement with self-improvement product and service provider, the Affirmation Spot. The Company previously announced a Letter of Intent (LOI) with the shareholders of i-Mobilize Inc., a Delaware corporation, to acquire 100% of the outstanding common stock and make i-Mobilize a wholly owned subsidiary of Metatron.
Under the agreement, the Company will partner with the Affirmation Spot by creating original content applications for the iPhone and marketing the products via social networks, direct response campaigns and search engines. The terms of the agreement call for a 50/50 split of all net revenue derived from the venture.
Launched in the fall of 2007 by Ray Davis, the Affirmation Spot's (www.theaffirmationspot.com) primary business is the marketing of motivational digital audio and video, with more than 400 unique products and over 650 versions developed and currently available for sale. These products include affirmations, visualizations and meditations which will be converted and reimagineered by i-Mobilize into original content applications for the iPhone. The site currently averages about 15,000 hits a month, with sales increasing approximately 14.5% month to month.
Joe Riehl, CEO of Metatron, stated, "We are very excited to partner with Ray and enter this burgeoning market. According to Marketdata Enterprises, the U.S. market for self-improvement products and services reached over $11 billion last year, up from $9.7 billion in 2005. So obviously the size and growth of the market is there. We feel that the mobile application market for these products is largely untapped and seek to get an early foothold in this arena. In addition, it is a perfect complement to the other service Metatron and our partner companies are providing."
