LOS ANGELES, April 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- IC Places,
Inc. (OTCQB: ICPA) is pleased to announce it has formed a strategic
partnership with EzVip.com to offer www.icplaces.com visitors
direct access to the hottest night clubs and best events around
world.
EzVip.com gained National attention when Founder and CEO, Alashe
Nelson, pitched his start up company on this year's season premier
of ABC's Shark Tank.
The show features entrepreneurs Mark
Cuban (Dallas Mavericks owner), Daymond John (founder of FUBU clothing line),
Kevin O'Leary (educational software), Barbara Corcoran (real estate) and Robert
Hejavec (technology security), who try to outbid each other to
invest their own money in unique businesses.
During the show, Nelson received a funding offer from Hejavec
and O'Leary, who teamed up, but in the end accepted an offer from
Cuban and John.
"I met Al during his recent trip to LA where he was inking deals
for his West Coast expansion. We both saw the instant synergy,"
said IC Places President, Steve
Samblis. "Teaming up with Mark
Cuban and Daymond John, Al
has created the OpenTable (OPEN - OpenTable Inc (NASDAQ)) of night
clubs. "We have Night Life sections in all of our 350 city
websites. The partnership with EzVip.com will allow us to generate
significant revenues from those sections."
Under the agreement EzVip.com will pay IC Places a percentage of
each booking it generates. IC Places Night Life sections will offer
direct links to reserve tables at the best clubs in each city using
the EzVip.com engine.
The two companies will grow together as EzVip.com expands into
new cities.
"We are very excited to be working with IC Places. Having IC
Places as a partner in our expansion gives us pre-positioned
placement in cities as we grow," said Alashe Nelson, CEO of
EzVip.com. "We will be able to tap into IC Places current visitor
base and expand our reach though their sites. It also gives IC
Places the ability to monetize site visitors in a new way."
