CMJ Network Inc. Engages Paid, Inc. to Develop Web Community and Launch Exclusive Merchandise Line

CMJ Network Inc. ("CMJ”) has contracted with Paid, Inc.’s (OTCBB: PAYD) celebrity services department to invigorate and broaden the scope of its online presence, including development of a web community that will, among many other elements, establish an interactive communication channel with the highly desirable and trend-influencing college student market to provide market research data for CMJ’s broad client base. Paid will also exclusively manage CMJ’s new merchandising line through online channels, live events and tours across the USA.

CMJ has been a key player in the music industry for over 25 years, discovering and supporting new artists from myriad contemporary genres through its online, print and live event assets as well as tracking weekly new artist airplay on more than 500 college and non-commercial radio stations across North America. CMJ charts run regularly in publications such as Rolling Stone and Entertainment Weekly, identifying the top emerging acts that will develop into the next multi-Platinum artists. By building this web community and integrating a broad range of members-only online services, Paid will provide CMJ a greater range of services to offer its clients including record labels, musical artists and their respective constituencies.

"We’ve engaged Paid to develop an interactive community that will expand upon the reach and presence CMJ already has among our college radio stations, business clients and fan communities nationwide,” said Bobby Haber, CMJ CEO. "Paid will facilitate one-to-one and one-to-many dialogues that will enable us to gather additional, invaluable insight into the college and emerging music markets. We believe this will translate into new revenue streams for CMJ and Paid as brands and marketers engage us for market research that will enable them to better know their target audience and more accurately focus their marketing efforts to them.”

"Our strategic alliance will enable CMJ to broaden its interaction and dialogue with college students from coast to coast, generating critical feedback and market research data signaling future trends and purchasing habits,” said Keith Garde, president of Paid, Inc., celebrity services. "By reaching out to this broad, influential market segment to gather and manage data from them, we believe it will give CMJ, its clients and Paid’s clients a competitive edge.”

Paid will expand CMJ’s online presence by utilizing social media and delivering an ever-changing array of applications to this web community, enabling innovative content and multiple opportunities for interaction.
