Universal Express's MadPackers Hits The Beaches of Texas
Business Editors
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 14, 2006--
Universal Express Inc. (OTCBB: USXP), MadPackers at the
invitation of numerous Fortune 500 Companies has begun presenting its
unique college delivery service directly at College Spring Break 2006.
MadPackers is an extension of the Luggage Express model, but
focuses primarily on college and high school students. Its goal is to
become the premier "door to dorm" shipping solution for all students'
needs. From sending items to school their first year and home again,
to storing their items during winter and summer breaks, to sending
their college belongings to study abroad and home again; MadPackers is
the first and only full service college centered/student shipping
company.
"MadPacker t-shirts, shorts, Frisbees, and Koozies have been given
out to thousands of college students from over 100 colleges and
untabulated high school seniors. In addition, there have been
synergistic programs and even I-pod giveaways. SanDisk, National
Lampoon and multiple Fortune 500 companies, like Energizer, and Coca
Cola are meeting with MadPacker Executives for on-going and future
programs," said Chris Wilkie, MadPackers Executive.
"By being positioned on the beach for hundreds of thousands of our
target market students to learn about us, as we create brand awareness
and even conduct feedback and feasibility studies, our shipping
service couldn't be any more well received," said Michael Martinez,
MadPackers Executive.
"Being on the sunny beaches of South Padre, Texas for a week and
also penetrating South Florida beaches makes our visually targeted
give-away products and image even more well targeted and accepted by
the students. Viewing of these promotional items can be seen at
www.madpackers.com/springbreak.htm, said Tim Terjesen, MadPackers
Executive.
"It's rewarding to see the branding and development of the
MadPacker's concepts as well as MadPackers electronic presence mature
simultaneously for this untapped multi-billion dollar shipping
market," concluded Mr. Brian Altomare, MadPackers President.
