SNMM





WILMINGTON, Del., Sep 22, 1999 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Starnet Communications International Inc. (OTC BB: SNMM ) (" Starnet" ) has won Frost and Sullivan`s 1999 Market Engineering Competitive Strategy Award and 1999 Market Engineering Marketing Strategy Award. Starnet has won two out of the three awards given.

Mark Dohlen, CEO, " I am very pleased that our business model has been recognized. We have put a great deal of time and effort into development and implementation. The Frost and Sullivan Awards acknowledge our position as the strategic leader in the online gaming industry."


The Frost and Sullivan Awards:

The 1999 Market Engineering Competitive Strategy Award: Starnet
Communications
This award is given each year to the company that has demonstrated superior competitive strategy. This award recognizes the company that has been able to create and implement an effective competitive strategy integrating the strategic elements of product, price, marketing, and sales. This company has exhibited an excellent understanding of competitive market position and has demonstrated the benefits of competitive benchmarking and competitive monitoring in the company`s strategy.
Starnet Communications managed to further entrench itself as a preeminent supplier of online gambling software through a deft combination of product marketing and pricing. Through its online gambling site, gamblers and prospective software purchasers can evaluate for themselves how well the Starnet software functions. The company is the only major software developer to also run its own online gambling site.

Starnet further raised the bar by adopting an aggressive pricing model in order to gain market share. The company was cognizant of the feverish demand and haste to establish online gambling sites and positioned and marketed its product to capitalize on this sentiment. The gambit paid dividends as Starnet is the market leader in terms of number of licensees. These actions are indicative of the company`s understanding of the importance of product marketing, overarching industry trends, and the implications of such trends.

This company possesses a well-developed and well integrated marketing program that is based on performance measurements and encourages marketing efficiency. The marketing strategy has contributed greatly to the company`s image in the marketplace, market share, and profitability.

Starnet Communications was very successful in 1998 marketing its turnkey solution to gambling operators with valid permits. The company priced aggressively to capture market share, correctly anticipating that many operations were looking for a cost-effective way to get up and running.

Moreover, the company is the only major casino software provider that runs its own online casino. Such a diversified marketing strategy has already begun to pay off in the first half of 1999 as the company signed contracts with over 20 new licensees.

Die 5$-Marke müßte heute eigentlich fallen und charttechnisch zum Aufwärtstrend beisteuern. In letzten Tagen kommen nur gute Nachrichten aus dem SNMM-Block, verschiedenen Analysten sowie Zeitungen. Die Stimmung scheint ihren Wendepunkt erreicht zu haben, was man aus den meisten Boards entnehmen kann. SNMM ist nicht Turodyne, die nach ihrem spektakulären Fall in Vergessenheit versank. Über SNMM wird es sogar noch mehr polemisiert, als sie Richtung Norden marschiert sind. Der Gamblingleader ist einfach viel zu gut, die Story, das Marketing und die Crew stimmt. Totgesagter Dohlen wird uns noch viele positive Überraschungen bescheren, da bin ich mir sicher.
Kann mir jemand etwas mehr zu diesem rumour sagen?

There are rumors that the central
Canadian government may want to shut down RCMP in Vancouver
for lack of cases.

Go Starnet GO!
