Digital Shelf Space Corp. (TSX VENTURE:DSS) (the "Company" or "DSS") is pleased
to announce that it has signed an exclusive International and Canadian
distribution partnership with Northern Response (International) Ltd. ("Northern
Response") a global leader in the direct to consumer marketplace. Northern
Response began sales of DSS' innovative GSP RUSHFIT (www.gsprushfit.com) this
week. GSP RUSHFIT is an ultimate home workout DVD fitness series starring Mixed
Martial Arts ("MMA"), World Welterweight Champion Georges St-Pierre ("GSP").
"We are excited to work with Northern Response on our GSP RUSHFIT series,
extending our reach both in Canada and Internationally," said Jeff Sharpe, CEO
and President of DSS. "GSP RUSHFIT will be distributed in up to 90 countries
world wide by a company responsible for some of the most successful global
fitness brands in the world. We expect Northern Response to use their
distribution channels to dramatically grow our Canadian and International
sales."
"Mixed Martial Arts is the fastest growing sport in the world and Georges
St-Pierre is one of its biggest stars," said David Baldassi, New Business
Manager for Northern Response. "We know that GSP and his MMA inspired fitness
routines offer consumers an incredible workout, GSP RUSHFIT delivers! We've
already seen the GSP RUSHFIT buzz grow very quickly online, we know the Direct
Response Television (DRTV) industry and we expect tremendous sales growth
immediately and over the coming years in Canada and globally."
Under an exclusive distribution agreement, Northern Response will have the right
and license to distribute GSP RUSHFIT. The Company has granted Northern Response
exclusive rights to market, distribute, and sub-license the GSP RUSHFIT ultimate
home workout DVD series internationally through all distribution channels,
except for the United States and its territories, commonwealths, and
possessions. In Canada, the Company has granted Northern Response the rights to
traditional retail channels only.
GSP RUSHFIT was designed to appeal to the massive global audience with an
interest in MMA and MMA training methods as a complete home fitness workout
program. GSP RUSHFIT combines three of the hottest fitness trends. The complete
program uses various MMA conditioning exercises, intense circuit style training
and body weight training for fitness consumers to build muscle, cut weight and
get in shape. GSP RUSHFIT is unlike any fitness program available. This program
was carefully designed to give the most efficient and effective workout possible
at home with minimal equipment. When consumers see how hard internationally
respected athlete Georges St-Pierre pushes himself, working out alongside him
will motivate and inspire consumers to push themselves harder, and achieve more
than they ever thought possible. Georges St-Pierre has dedicated his life to
Mixed Martial Arts and is regarded as one of the top conditioned athletes not
only in the sport, but also in the world. Fitness fans everywhere can benefit
directly from the same commitment GSP has made to his own health and fitness.
