Amici del Cristallo Swarovski and Wyith form strategic alliance

Hongkong - March 10, 2000 - Wyith Incorporated, the
leading international integrated Internet company, today announces a
joint venture with Amici del Cristallo Swarovski (ACS, 'Friends of Swarovski'),
the largest collectors' society of Swarovski crystals in Europe to
cooperatively develope the online Swarovski Collectors' Guide (SCG),
www.swarovski.org.
The joint venture leverages Wyith Incorporated's position as a preferred
provider of interactive Internet technical and marketing solutions and services.
Through the alliance, Wyith Incorporated will have the exclusive
rights to provide web services, advertising, sponsorships, e-commerce, e-marketing
and direct marketing branded solutions to over 20,000 Italian crystal collectors
who utilise ACS's most comprehensive database of Swarovski crystals.
Dr Raymond Cheng, Wyith Incorporated's Managing Director,
said. "This joint venture is designed to unlock the largely untapped but
massive second-hand e-commerce market in Europe. It builds on the
existing infrastructure already established by Wyith Incorporated
in Asia and further strengthens the 'Congregate' component of
Wyith Incorporated's business model. Working with our new partner,
we are confident that we'll be able to achieve rapid growth in
the European e-commerce market."
Dr Diego Marcori, Wyith Incorporated's Regional Director in Europe and
Middle East, explained how this announcement will benefit crystal consumers
and encourage the growth of new value-added services. Dr Diego said, "This
joint venture with ACS maximises our global market reach and will help to
grow business for us throughout Europe, especially Austria and Switzerland.
Speciality advertising and e-commerce applications are the next
wave of e-commerce and this partnership gives us the market reach to meet
the needs of advertisers, while delivering targeted advertisements and useful
information based on an individual's demographic profile."
The activities of the new joint venture are expected to heighten user
response and recall to sharply targetted advertising, spur informed consumer
spending throughout Europe, and pave the way for the regular use of
advanced interactive applications.
