Digital Shelf Space Corp. (TSX VENTURE: DSS) (the "Company" or "DSS") is pleased to announce that the Company's exclusive global distribution partner Northern Response (International) Ltd. ("Northern Response") has significantly grown DSS' access to consumers since the agreement between the two parties was signed in March of this year. Northern Response has now signed agreements with multiple leading Canadian National retailers, which includes four of the largest in Canada, to begin the retail distribution of DSS' innovative GSP RUSHFIT (www.gsprushfit.com) ultimate home workout DVD fitness series. The GSP RUSHFIT workout series stars the Montreal based Mixed Martial Arts ("MMA"), World Welterweight Champion Georges St-Pierre ("GSP").

"Canadian retail interest in GSP RUSHFIT has been so strong that some retailers moved aggressively to list the home-based fitness training DVD series in advance of the Company's national TV advertising campaign. Several National retail accounts, totaling about 525 locations, have been receiving their stock now and are supporting it with in-store merchandising initiatives," said Don Cameron, VP Marketing at Northern Response.

"Northern Response's preliminary commitments from other Canadian retailers should lift the total number of retail locations selling GSP RUSHFIT to over 3,000 locations by Q3, as the much-anticipated Direct Response TV spot rolls out and retailers conduct their traditional August/September fitness section reset," said Earl Morris, Director of Sales with Northern Response.

"Canadian retailers have shown tremendous support for MMA Star Georges St-Pierre and will begin the retail distribution of DSS' GSP RUSHFIT ultimate home workout DVD fitness series," said Jeff Sharpe CEO and President of DSS. "We expect that adding this many retailers for the GSP RUSHFIT workout series that it will provide consumers with greater accessibility and convenience to purchase the groundbreaking product." Previously, GSP RUSHFIT had only been sold directly to consumers online from www.gsprushfit.com.
