(EMAILWIRE.COM, January 22, 2002 ) TEANECK, N.J. -- DisplayIndex.com announced today that its first year on the Internet has been dubbed a success. This web-based start-up company has served as a marketplace and a community resource for both the Retail and Store Display/Fixtures Industry since January 2001. Since then, over 5,000 suppliers and buyers have registered for access to the online B2B marketplace.

The Display Index Project Marketplace (http://www.displayindex.com) provides a single location on the Internet where Display Buyers can find and purchase the products needed for any Store Fixture or POP display program. Display buyers post projects online and have qualified suppliers submit bids regarding the project. This saves both parties time and money. “Yes, I did benefit from DisplayIndex.com's service,” said Alexander Wu, of Glance Eyeware. “It brought me in contact with more suppliers in a shorter amount of time than I would have been able to accomplish without your service. We had our special order quoted, compared and produced in record time, just meeting our deadline.”

Unlike other Marketplaces that charge suppliers a commission on sales, DisplayIndex.com only charges suppliers a monthly access fee to view projects posted online. With no added commission costs that range between 7% and 10%, the savings are passed on to the display buyers.

“We are working hard to attract a dedicated online virtual community where users interact, exchange information and ideas, and where suppliers meet the display buyers in our online marketplace,” says Mike Shannon, sales and marketing manager for DisplayIndex.com. “This first year has been a success because we've established a solid base of clients and visitors. A big part of future success depends on how quickly this core group of satisfied users chooses to spread the word about our innovative
services in the next few months.”

DisplayIndex.com is an online marketplace for buyers and suppliers of store displays and fixtures. For buyers, it automates the process of searching through hundreds of suppliers to hire for a new project. It also provides information about upcoming trade shows, industry job listings, trade associations, trade magazines, trade related books, and
relevant news articles. All services are free to buyers; suppliers must pay a flat monthly fee to gain access to the buyers' posted projects. This first online B2B marketplace for the Store Display and Store Fixture Industry was created by Display Index, Inc., founded in 1999. The website address is www.displayindex.com.
