The
Amacore Group, Inc., Announces Its Wholly-Owned Sales and Marketing Subsidiary,
Zurvita, Inc., has Signed an Exclusive Marketing Agreement with MXenergy
LAKE
MARY, Fla. - June 12, 2008 --The
Amacore Group, Inc. (OTC BB: ACGI), a leader in providing health and health-related
programs and other innovative and high-quality solutions through its unique multi-channel
distribution system, today announced its wholly-owned subsidiary, Zurvita
Inc., has entered into an exclusive agreement with MXenergy Inc. for the sale
and distribution of MXenergy's energy and energy-related products. MXenergy
is one of the nation's leading natural gas and electricity suppliers, currently
selling its products in 39 utility territories. With many states deregulating
the sale of energy, companies such as MXenergy have emerged bringing to a wide
range of consumers and small businesses affordable energy coupled with environmentally-friendly
programs. MXenergy is a leader in this space supplying natural gas and electricity
in North America to approximately 500,000 customers. The agreement designates
Zurvita as MXenergy's exclusive network marketing seller of MXenergy's products
throughout MXenergy's current footprint. The agreement has an initial three-year
term with two-year renewal periods thereafter. The agreement also provides for
cross-pollination selling with Zurvita
marketing the MXenergy products to not only new customers but to existing Zurvita
customers, and marketing the Zurvita
products to MXenergy's existing and new customers. Mark Jarvis, President
of Zurvita, with over 26 years experience in network marketing, stated, "We
are very excited about this new relationship with MXenergy since it adds to Zurvita's
product mix one of the strongest new products to hit the market in over 15 years.
The deregulation of electricity and natural gas has created a new market for consumers
and small businesses that allows them to control their energy costs" Mr.
Jarvis noted, "This arrangement gives our representatives a wonderful new
product to add to Zurvita's
already terrific product line, and we are confident that it will serve to attract
substantially more representatives to Zurvita
by reason of this exciting selling opportunity. The last time the networking industry
experienced this type of growth potential was 15 years ago with the deregulation
of the telecom industry where billion-dollar companies grew up seemingly 'overnight.'
The cross-pollination opportunity will only add to our representatives' ability
to build substantial long-term revenue streams for themselves. From Zurvita's
perspective, we believe this can only dramatically and rapidly enhance the growth
we are anticipating to take place within the next 24 months." Steven
Murray, Chief Operating Officer of MXenergy, stated that "Zurvita
expands MXenergy's ability to reach a larger audience and its hope to see a significant
boost to our business. Zurvita's background and experience in delivering products
through its distribution channels should align extremely well with the energy
products that we market."
