Beyond Commerce, Inc. Announces Letter of Intent to Acquire WebYES! LLC
Leading Online Ad Network and Lead Generation Company Adds $19.5 Million in Revenues to BYOC Growth
HENDERSON, Nev., May 26 -- Beyond Commerce, Inc. (http://www.beyondcommerce.com) (BULLETIN BOARD: BYOC) today announced the signing of a Letter of Intent to acquire WebYES! LLC. (http://www.webyes.com). The Board of Directors of both companies has approved the acquisition and the transaction is anticipated to close within the next 30 business days.
WebYES! owns and operates a network of high-traffic web properties focused on finance, insurance, automotive products and services. The web properties contain advice for consumers and offer a variety of specialized products and services to suit their needs. With over 2,000 web publishers driving targeted traffic to its organic web properties, WebYES! connects interested consumers with nationwide advertisers.
"We are very excited about becoming an integral part of Beyond Commerce," states Brett Cravatt, CEO and Founder of WebYES!. "In order to further improve our lead quality and results for our advertisers, we will leverage the proprietary customer acquisition platform that Beyond Commerce has acquired through its recent purchase of AdJuice (http://www.adjuice.com)."
"We look forward to working closely with the seasoned management team at Beyond Commerce in order to build a large portfolio of highly valuable Internet assets," adds Cravatt. "Working together will allow us to leverage each others' efficiencies and strengths, thereby leading us towards the realization of maximum value for consumers as well as our advertisers."
Today, the Internet accounts for approximately 20 percent of overall media consumption in the United States, but advertisers invest only 7.5 percent of their budget online. As a result, there is tremendous upside potential for marketplace growth as advertisers steadily bridge the gap.
By 2011, nearly 25 percent of all media consumption will be online, drawing 15 percent of total advertising dollars. According to the Yankee Group, the online advertising market is expected to reach $50.3 billion in revenue by 2011 in the U.S. alone, more than doubling year 2007 levels. This 24 percent annual growth trend is expected to continue as brands increase online ad expenditures and publishers improve ad targeting, inventory and yield management.
"To capitalize on this vast opportunity, Beyond Commerce has repositioned itself as a media company as well as a technology e-commerce platform provider," states Beyond Commerce CEO Robert McNulty. "We are currently in discussions with several other media companies involved in mobile ad networking, online advertising and local advertising. These discussions could result in potential acquisitions totaling as much as $100 million in combined annual revenues, which would also include all the benefits and advantages of bringing together a number of experienced executives and professionals to manage and operate this exciting new combined entity."
"We believe there are numerous market segments in the ad networking, online advertising and local advertising space industries which are extremely fragmented," McNulty notes. "There is a tremendous amount of potential for unlimited growth opportunities for companies with a successful roll-up strategy."
