Isold It And Ronald Mcdonald House Charities Join Forces

(Wednesday, March 15, 2006) - iSold It, the world's largest chain of eBay drop-off stores, today announced its participation in the 2006 Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC®) Sunday Coupon Promotion. By creating, finding and supporting programs that directly improve the health and well-being of children, RMHC is working to better the lives of children and their families around the world, and iSold It is proud to support these initiatives. "Given that the genesis for iSold It came from fundraising, we are particularly gratified by our association with the Ronald McDonald House Charities," said Ken Sully, CEO of iSold It. "Our common interests and concerns not only help provide support for the RMHC families, it also builds awareness of iSold It's eBay drop-off service." As part of the program, iSold It will be featured in upcoming national marketing and advertising efforts for Ronald McDonald House Charities. For example, customers can find coupons for iSold It in a RMHC insert running in major national newspapers on Sunday, April 9, and the company logo will also be displayed on posters and tray liners at 12,000 McDonald's restaurants across the country. In addition, iSold It will be featured in national television spots starting on March 27, which will supplement the March 1 launch of iSold It's own national television advertising campaign. About iSold It iSold It offers its franchisees a turn-key program that makes it easy to open an iSold It drop-off store in their local community. The company hosts a proprietary software system that allows independent stores to easily interface with e-commerce sites, manage their inventory, create management reports and efficiently pay customers through a bulk-rate check payment system. In addition, iSold It helps franchisees secure store locations, orders and installs their turn-key 'store-in-a-box' build-out, provides training and support, and leads overall national and local marketing efforts. The concept for iSold It was created by Elise Wetzel as she was helping to fundraise for a new playground at her children's school. Elise recognized that auctioning donated items on eBay could be a powerful fundraising tool, especially if there were a service that helped make it easy. From this small idea for a school benefit came the foundation for iSold It - providing an easy way for any person, business or organization to sell things online. Today, iSold It is the number one seller on eBay and is ranked by Entrepreneur magazine as the number one franchise in the emerging drop-off store category. iSold It currently has hundreds of franchise stores open nationwide, over 800 franchise stores sold, and is opening a new store on average every three days. iSold It is registered to sell franchises in 50 states.
