For Immediate Release
July 28, 2004
Vancouver, British Columbia

Bumblz Media is pleased to announce Kidsbooks as their first retail partner. The popular Vancouver-based children’s book, toy and video store is now selling the first direct-to- home video release from Bumblz Media, Bumblz: Clubhouse Friends.

“The staff at Kidsbooks recommends Bumblz Clubhouse friends with unabashed enthusiasm. We love the infectious toe-tapping songs and were delighted with the sing-along segment. From start to finish, it’s simple, but engaging storyline managed to encourage co-operation, problem solving, perseverance and making new friends in a fun non-didactic manner.” says Maggie Blondeau, owner of Kidsbooks

Regarding the educational benefits of the show, Blondeau states, “It’s perfect for language acquisition and vocabulary enhancement for both preschoolers and ESL students…really I’m looking forward to their new music CD as well…I just can’t get enough of that Amblin’ Andy!”

“This is a great first step for the Bumblz franchise as we continue our search for retail partners throughout Canada, the USA and internationally”, says Ed Konyha, Bumblz Media President, “It’s just one more way to get Bumblz out to the general public; it gives us much greater visibility to local parents and immediate access to our core audience.”

Already available for purchase on the web, via Bumblz.com, Amazon.com, Target.com and other online stores, Bumblz Media is now in the process of seeking traditional retail outlets to give even greater access to the parents and teachers for their Bumblz preschool videos.

“We’re focusing mainly on independent retailers for now, as the approval process for smaller stores and chains is a lot faster than the larger chains”, says Mr. Konyha, “It has been a real positive experience working with independent retailers, as they are always looking for new high quality products so they’ve been very receptive and welcoming.”
