BELLEVUE, WA, Aug. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - The Tradeshow
Marketing Company, Ltd. (Pink Sheets: TSHO), a direct sales company
that represents and markets unique consumer products in diverse
sales environments, today announced a letter of intent with ARG

"We are pleased to enter into this agreement with ARG to expand
the sales opportunities of the g-Spout product at major retail
outlets," said Luniel de Beer,

success with more than $390,000 in

mortar retail channel will be a strong addition to our current
marketing campaign. In addition, ARG is an ideal manufacturing and
retail partner for TSHO, enabling the Company to economically scale
production as market demand requires.
"In preparation for the retail launch, we are actively
evaluating product and packaging enhancements with ARG as well as
testing additional offer combinations and pricing in the extended
g-Spout test campaign. We look forward to adding a strong retail
campaign for the g-Spout to make the product also available on
store shelves, a key destination for As Seen on TV products."
