Wigix Inc. Acquires Mag2U
Mag2U, a Shanghai-based company, merges operations with Wigix Inc.'s subsidiary, ddku.com, affording it an end to end marketing platform in China.
OAKLAND, CA - 30 March, 2010: Wigix, Inc. today announced that it has acquired a Shanghai-based business process outsourcing company, Mag2U, to enhance DDKU's growing internet presence as well as provide a multi-channel marketing network to acquire, retain and service customers in China. DDKU, a web-based community driven marketplace and wholly owned subsidiary of Wigix, will merge operations with Mag2U. Mag2U, a privately held company, is the largest magazine subscription processor in China currently with operations in Shanghai and Hangzhou.
"We are excited by this opportunity because it represents a significant step in completing our vision and strategy to accelerate growth in our core business which is to provide an end-to-end marketing solution as well as better values for brand manufacturers and consumers," said James Chong, CEO of Wigix, Inc. "We plan to replicate Mag2U's operational success in Shanghai and Hangzhou to other first and second line cities in China which comprise approximately 400 million middle class consumers in China. This will allow DDKU/Mag2U to provide brand advertisers a competitive edge and an invaluable service. Currently, for a brand advertizer to gain access to any second-line city's targeted consumer segment, it is extremely difficult; however, soon, it will be an achievable reality."
An independent market research study concludes that only 20% of all magazines sold in China are via subscription confirming the vibrancy of this nascent business niche. With Wigix's experienced team and technological expertise mixed with Mag2U's proven business model as well as logistic and fulfillment process know-how, it will enable the company to distinguish itself as a market leader in providing an end-to-end marketing platform for brand advertisers.
This acquisition not only facilitates DDKU's payment collection and order fulfillment of its online transactions due to Mag2u's logistic network; but also, provides DDKU the ability to uniquely leverage and expand into other business adjacencies and propel Wigix's revenue growth.

| Hello Wigix Members, To appeal to more buyers, Wigix has always paid special attention to increased security. This past month we implemented a more secure verification process. Like before, sellers will need to have one financial verification. You can opt to verify with: PayPal, credit card or a bank account. Starting February 5th, all sellers needed to verify three additional verifications, choosing between five options: US Drivers License, US Social Security Number, Phone Number, eBay rating, or a Postal Address. During the first 30 days of the new verification process, all sellers will still be able to open new sell orders. After this grace period, all sellers that have yet to verify will have their open sell orders disabled. This is a friendly reminder that after March 6th, all sellers who have yet to go through the new verification process will have their sell orders disabled. Click here to learn more about our new seller verifications. | ||
