LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug 5, 1999--
Jim Cannon, Director of GoOn-line's Kiosk Division, a subsidiary
of Jones Naughton Entertainment, Inc. (OTC BB: JNNE), today announced
GoOn-line has entered into a marketing agreement with MidWest Internet
Solutions, Inc. (MIS, Inc.) to place GoOn-line's custom Internet
Kiosks in hotels in Indiana, Michigan and Ohio.
MIS, Inc. was founded by Peter H. Nosek, a veteran of 25 years in
the hospitality field. Mr. Nosek's extensive background as a hotel
General Manager includes past affiliations with Courtyards by
Marriott, Holiday Inn, Ramada Inn, and a number of independent hotels.
He is a Certified Hotel Administrator and has been a board member of
the Indiana Hotel Motel Association since 1994.
Mr. Nosek expects his numerous contacts throughout the Midwest to
positively receive this new technology. He stated, ``I am very pleased
that we are able to offer our clients a new technology that will
eventually be interfaced with every type of lodging property. I expect
a rousing reception from hoteliers as this new amenity will enable
their clients to conduct personal and work-related business while away
from home or the office. Hoteliers are always looking for a
competitive advantage, and placement of this technology will give
participating hotels an edge in their marketplace.''
MIS, Inc. will immediately dedicate five sales representatives to
the GoOn-line Kiosk project, canvassing hotels in the designated
three-state area. Additional representatives will be added as the
marketing initiative progresses.
Mr. Cannon also disclosed that GoOn-line has accepted more than
30 additional Internet Kiosk orders since the Company's July 6th press
release. ``GoOn-line has now received signed contracts for more than 80
Internet Kiosks for hotels operating in 20 states,'' said Mr. Cannon.
ShopGoOnline.com Traffic Surpasses 1.5 Million Hits
ShopGoOnline.com (http://www.ShopGoOnline.com), the e-commerce
unit of Jones Naughton's GoOn-line Division, has already received over
1.5 million hits since its recent Grand Opening. Much of the traffic
can be attributed to Jones Naughton's media exposure since the site's
launch last month, including target-specific marketing through
DoubleClick and the increasing flow of traffic directed to the site by
Website Results.
Jones Naughton is currently in negotiations to broaden its
exposure through a number of Internet marketing leaders. Announcements
will be made as agreements are signed.
