ShopNBC (NASDAQ: VVTV), the premium lifestyle brand in electronic retailing, today announced the company has surpassed a record 1 million customers, the largest customer count in its 19-year-old history.

Year to date, the company expects its total customer base to be up approximately 33% vs. last year. While adding over 250,000 customers in the last 12 months, the company also achieved major operational efficiencies in order capture, customer service, and fulfillment, which lowered transactional costs by approximately 20% per unit in Q4 vs. the prior-year quarter.
