GOLD RIVER, Calif.--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--The Children's Internet, Inc. (TCI) (OTCBB:CITC) the exclusive marketer and distributor of The Children's Internet® membership based service created just for kids, has entered into a Retail Merchandizing Services Agreement (the "Services Agreement") with Advantage Sales and Marketing (ASM), one of the country's leading sales and marketing agencies specializing in outsourced sales and retail promotions.
Under the terms of the Services Agreement, ASM will provide in-store retail merchandizing services, including generating consumer awareness and building brand equity for TCI's membership based service. ASM provides servicing and distribution of products to over 10,500 major retailers including Wal-Mart, Target and Best Buy.

We will be modeling the distribution approach that ASM designed for the initial launch of AOL, resulting in over 25 million discs into the market place. We could not be more excited. This merchandising agreement will make our internet service available to millions of families who may not have been aware or previously exposed to our product. Not only will this lead to product sales, it will ultimately lead to numerous children now being protected on the web and this is our ultimate goal."
