ICTV Brands, Inc. Successfully Launches DermaWand into the UK Market

WAYNE, PA--(Marketwired - Nov 17, 2016) - ICTV Brands, Inc. (OTCQX: ICTV), (CSE: ITV), a digitally focused, direct response marketing and branding company specializing in the health, wellness and beauty sector, today announced the successful launch of a United Kingdom direct to consumer operation for its flagship product DermaWand.

During the first half of 2016, ICTV's management made the decision to pursue setting up a direct to consumer sales and marketing operation in the United Kingdom, similar to the platforms the Company has developed in the United States and Canada. During the third quarter, the ICTV marketing and operation teams worked hard to set up the necessary elements to launch DermaWand in the UK. On October 10th, ICTV successfully deployed a digital marketing campaign which drove consumers to DermaWand's dedicated UK website www.dermawand.co.uk for the first time.

Over the first five weeks since launch, net sales exceeded $120,000 with a total media spend of approximately $43,000, resulting in a media efficiency ratio of a 2.8. Included in the media spend thus far were three daily print advertisements, in addition to our digital media. Over the next several weeks, four additional daily print advertisements have been booked and plans are in place to increase the daily budgets for social media advertising of DermaWand as we enter the holiday shopping season. ICTV is also engaged with Ideal World to launch DermaWand on live television home shopping in the UK this December.

ICTV recently announced a definitive agreement to purchase the consumer assets of PhotoMedex, Inc. (PHMD), which has a very vibrant UK sales operation with their no!no! hair removal brand. Once the acquisition is final, ICTV plans to integrate DermaWand into the existing operation PHMD has established in the UK, which we believe will accelerate DermaWand into retail across the UK by leveraging the relationships that ICTV will be acquiring through the asset acquisition. 

Richard Ransom, President of ICTV Brands, stated, "It is very satisfying to see the DermaWand have success right out of the gate in the UK market. What is even more exciting is to see how our team has been able to replicate the digital marketing platform we have built in the United States into a new market. I am confident this platform is scalable across additional markets and that the UK is only the beginning of our ability to directly reach the global marketplace through our digital sales platform."
