VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - April 3, 2012) -Digital Shelf Space Corp. (the "Company" or "DSS") (TSX VENTURE:DSS)(OTCQX:DTSRF) announced today that it reached #14 on the Amazon.com Exercise and Fitness Best Seller list on March 30, 2012, after only three months of being listed for sale at Amazon.com.

We look forward to seeing our results over the coming months for GSP RUSHFIT as our Amazon.com seller and product feedback grows."
DSS also announced that based on the success of their Amazon.com product listing, they have listed GSP RUSHFIT at Amazon Canada and Amazon UK.
