NEW YORK, Oct. 19, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Zevotek, Inc. (Pink Sheets:ZVTK) (Frankfurt:T5V1), a designer, developer, and worldwide direct marketer and distributor of innovative personal and home care items, announced today an agreement to create a new high-volume call center for receiving calls to buy the Ionic Bulb. Zevotek selected Teleperformance (http://www.teleperformance.com/GP/Default.aspx) to operate a call center that is capable of handling spikes in large call volumes coming in response to planned airings of a new 2-minute Ionic Bulb TV infomercial. Teleperformance is a global expert in call center management with over 30 years experience and their call centers are known for using best in class technology for automated speech recognition and sales processing.
The Ionic Bulb is designed for consumer use by combining the performance features of ionic air cleaning technology with those of a 10,000-hour reduced energy use compact fluorescent light bulb (CFL). The new Ionic Bulb infomercial is expected to be ready for TV and Internet audiences in November 2009. When Zevotek's Ionic Bulb infomercial is broadcast, viewers in homes across the U.S. can see the vivid demonstration of the bulb's ionizing action and immediately contact Zevotek to buy the Ionic Bulb and take advantage of its excellent value. According to ENERGY STAR(R), a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy, a qualified CFL lasts about 10 times longer than an incandescent bulb, uses 75 percent less energy, saves about $30 over its lifetime and pays for itself in about 6 months. ENERGY STAR(R) said earlier this year that using less energy helps reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions from power plants.
Commenting on the announcement, Zevotek's CEO, Adam Engel, said, "People who call to buy the Ionic Bulb want to make their purchases quickly, securely and in the comfort of their own homes or offices. With that in mind, we are creating a call center designed to quickly turn customer calls into sales and turn customers into repeat buyers. Our new high-tech call center will be automatically connected to Imagine Fulfillment Services (http://www.imaginefulfillment.com/ifs.htm) so callers' orders are quickly turned into Ionic Bulb sales. Every home in America needs light bulbs and has the potential to enjoy the air cleaning performance and money saving value of Zevotek's Ionic Bulb. The new call center helps make it possible for Zevotek to realize this tremendous sales potential."
