ROK Global PLC, the technology, applications and services company, has
announced its online shopping portal for eco-conscious consumers, JP
Selects, has begun to distribute selected products through Saveology, one
of the largest online direct marketing companies in the US, to promote,
initially, several thousand units of the popular 'Christie Brinkley 30 Day
Skincare Renewal System.'
Commenting on the arrangement with Saveology, Jonathan Kendrick, Chairman
of ROK said 'Saveology has an excellent reputation and an enormous customer
base across the United States and distributing products through
them is another fantastic development for JP Selects which we believe will
prove hugely successful.'
Saveology, founded by entrepreneurs Benzion Aboud and Reid Shapiro in 1996,
was rebranded as Saveology in 2008.
The company's primary focus has been direct-to-consumer marketing,
currently reaching 4.5 million people per month across the United States
via a network of websites and direct email marketing. Saveology employs
more than 1,000 people in three state-of-the art sales centers in Utah, New
Jersey and Florida, providing best-in-class customer service to its
corporate and consumer clients.
Part of ROK Global PLC, co-founded by US Billionaire John Paul DeJoria and
UK-based serial entrepreneur Jonathan Kendrick, JP Selects is a
members-only online platform which promotes the best eco-friendly and
sustainable products, brands and companies through flash sales, an online
marketplace and distribution partnerships.
In addition to being the co-founder of ROK, John Paul DeJoria is Chairman
of John Paul Mitchell Systems, the manufacturer of Paul Mitchell hair care
products as well as being the co-founder of Patron Tequila, the world's
leading premium tequila brand and is a renowned humanitarian and social
entrepreneur.
ROK recently announced the acquisition, by JP Selects, of rival US 'green
commerce' company, LovingEco as well as a partnership with Xiu.com, to
launch JP Selects in China.
Paolo Fidanza, CEO of ROK Global added 'We believe JP Selects is the
fastest growing online eco-conscious retailer in the world with a portfolio
of more than 3,000 sustainable products and we are delighted to be working
with Saveology, whose motto is 'the science of saving a whole bunch of
coin' to promote a number of our products to an even wider customer base
than before.'
In addition to JP Selects, ROK has pioneered a portfolio of new
technologies and services including high quality mass-market Mobile TV
which can be streamed, live and on-demand, over mass-market 2.5G GPRS as
well as 3G and Wi-Fi, several mobile security technologies which it
licenses to law enforcement agencies, a suite of cutting-edge industrial
technology products and multi-language text-to-speech translation
technologies.
