Press Release Source: CrowdGather, Inc. On Tuesday May 17, 2011, 8:00 am EDT
WOODLAND HILLS, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– One of the leading networks of forum communities on the Internet, CrowdGather (OTCBB:CRWG.ob – News) today announced that it has acquired brand assets from Human Pheromone Sciences, Inc. (OTCBB:EROX.ob – News), a company engaged in the research, development, manufacturing and marketing of consumer products containing synthetic human pheromones. CrowdGather will partner with Human Pheromone Sciences to launch and distribute Erox®, a unisex fragrance, which has been proven to increase feelings of arousal, excitement, social warmth and friendliness in both female and male users. The fragrance will be launched, sold and marketed through the use of social media and forum communities. Erox® will be the first commercial product to contain Human Pheromone Sciences’ patent pending ER303 compound which has been shown to increase feelings of attraction and flirtiness in both males and females during a double blind placebo controlled study.
The new venture will provide CrowdGather with the opportunity to expand its offerings as it seeks to utilize social media in unique ways to efficiently take products to market.
“Forums provide a platform for people to discuss and recommend products that matter most to them,” said CrowdGather CEO Sanjay Sabnani. “Partnering with strategic partners to create exclusive products for marketing through social media and forum communities will provide us with greater control over our future revenue streams and also showcase how powerful a channel this can be for launching and selling future products.”
As part of the agreement CrowdGather will acquire the Erox.com domain name and trademarks from Human Pheromone Sciences, and make a strategic investment in the company via a private placement at the time a final product is accepted by CrowdGather. Human Pheromone Sciences will design and contract out the manufacture of the fragrance for CrowdGather and its distribution partners.
“Our company has had a long standing relationship with CrowdGather’s CEO and we are delighted to have them as a partner in bringing this product to market via the Internet. While we have had a history of our compounds being used in successful fragrance products, this is the first time we are launching a new product using nontraditional channels. We are very excited at the prospects,” commented William P. Horgan, CEO of Human Pheromone Sciences.
Human pheromones are naturally occurring substances that trigger specific behavioral or physiological response. Erox will be the only commercial product to contain the combination of ER303 and patented human pheromone compounds Androstadienone and Estratetraenoll, both of which can be found in iconic brands such as Avon’s Perceive® , Victoria’s Secret’s Very Sexy®, Henkel’s hair care line, got2b®, and selected Dial Corporation body washes. Erox® will be the first commercial product to contain ER303 which bears a structural similarity to human pheromones, but is instead derived from a species of sea coral.
