Utix Launches New Retail Packaging at 6,200 Stores Nationwide

BURLINGTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 14, 2006--Utix Group, Inc. (OTCBB:UTIX), a leading issuer and processor of pre-paid sports and leisure gift tickets, announced today that it is shipping over 200,000 retail packages consisting of golf, spa and bowling tickets for placement in 6,200 CVS Drug Store locations. Unveiling its new "Enjoy the Experience" packaging, Utix is set to provide a fresh and exciting merchandising message.

The patented Utix Prepaid Experience Ticket System and technology application allows the holder to redeem the pre-paid ticket at participating venues for a single-use activity, such as a round-of-golf, spa treatment or bowling frames, effectively settling transactions at variable prices nationwide via the open payment network that traditionally utilizes only dollar-for-dollar payment authorizations such as stored value cash, debit and credit cards.

“merchandising package provides for a much more concise and impactful message that is sure to grab the attention of the consumer and inspire creative gift-giving ideas”

Following a series of comprehensive consumer focus groups, Utix redesigned its packaging in direct response to feedback received from consumers. "Our "Enjoy the Experience" merchandising package provides for a much more concise and impactful message that is sure to grab the attention of the consumer and inspire creative gift-giving ideas," stated Tara Lynch, Vice President of Marketing, Utix.

Tony Roth, CEO of Utix, added, "Retail represents a significant percentage of the holiday prepaid gift marketplace and given our new packaging and placement, we expect to beat prior year sales and estimate sell-through of activated Utix products to exceed $1.2 million as a holiday and gift-giving seasonal item at CVS only in addition to other Utix business." Utix is shipping products for placement in-store by mid-October.
