LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwire - September 1, 2010) - Montel Williams -- Emmy Award-winning television host, wellness advocate and entrepreneur -- has entered into an exclusive consumer product and e-commerce partnership with Cinsay, Inc. to incorporate the company's patent pending, proprietary and scalable platform and video player into his Montel Media Group website at www.montelnetwork.com. Initially, the Cinsay, Inc. video e-commerce solution will be employed to market and sell an exclusive Health and Beauty line of skin care products under the well-known wellness advocate's own label in addition to a number of existing products, including Williams' best-selling books, DVDs and the new Montel-branded "Fuel of Life" supplement formula, as well as a new line of products called TravelSafe that are aimed at curbing the growing threat of airborne illness.
"This partnership with Cinsay provides a great new opportunity to reach the increasingly elusive online audience through compelling content matched with an option to purchase products through the Company's innovative media player platform," said Williams. "I understand the power of the web in reaching consumers, and am looking forward to providing video content that serves both the public need for information and entertainment as well as our own desire for a unique new e-commerce solution."
"We are extremely pleased to be partnering with Montel Williams to help drive online sales through our innovative new approach to e-commerce," said Matthew Papish, CEO, Cinsay, Inc. "He is a respected journalist and wellness advocate whose personal commitment to helping others has translated into a successful brand that enriches people's lives and is a highly-profitable enterprise. By utilizing compelling video content and our embedded player, we will help Montel reach countless new previously-untapped customers."
The first new product line to emerge from the partnership is called TravelSafe, and will be marketed as part of Williams' established and successful Living Well with Montel™ brand. The product line will launch with TravelSafe AIR, a disposable wellness kit designed with busy travelers -- and the billions of germs they are likely to come into contact with -- in mind. Additionally, Cinsay will be adding TravelSafe HOTEL to its line within the next 6 months.
