Icon Media Holdings, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: ICNM) is pleased to announce
that the Company has closed on the purchase of the assets of IFX
Financial Services Group. The Company also has redesigned and
re-launched the website http://www.ifxltd.com and is executing its
online marketing campaign to sell its merchant processing services
and merchant cash advance products.
The U.S. Commerce Department says online shoppers spent $47.5
billion during the second quarter of 2011, with e-commerce
accounting for 4.6% of all retail sales. Credit card sales account
for at least 40% of these sales. Furthermore, a study by Merchant
Processing Resource estimated the size of the merchant cash advance
market in 2010 was over $524M, and growing at a rapid pace.
"This acquisition allows us to tap into this burgeoning market,
and create a new residual revenue stream," commented Rob Deakin,
CEO of Icon. "We also will be able to lower the overall cost of
processing transactions on the e-commerce sites we own and/or
operate."
The Company expects that IFX should add an additional 15% in
revenue in the first year. IFX will continue to operate under the
IFX brand and will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Icon Media
Holdings.
This acquisition positions Icon for further visibility in the
ever-increasing e-commerce markets and is consistent with Icon's
business model for vertical and horizontal growth through
acquisitions.
