NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Big Apple Worldwide, Inc. (Pink Sheets:BPWI) is pleased to announce that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Big Apple Wallcovering, Inc., has been featured in the most recent issue of Opportunist Magazine. The story chronicles the inspiration for the Company's "No More Books(tm)" technology and gives a brief history of how the Company's executives conceived the idea.
The Opportunist piece notes that wallcovering sellers spend as much as $100 to produce each sample book and that the wallcovering industry wastes approximately $500 Million a year to produce sample books. Considering the constant maintenance and shipping expenses, Big Apple Worldwide President, Neal Jablon, and Vice President, Bill Byron, knew that there had to be a better way, and subsequently developed the concept for the Web-based kiosk ordering system.
"We enjoyed the story and we feel that it gives a good history of our inspiration for 'No More Books(tm).' We really believed in the idea and were determined to make it work, and now we're witnessing a revolutionary change in the industry," stated Neal Jablon, CEO and President of Big Apple Worldwide, Inc.
