Reply! Launches Online Service Portal

New Website - Reply.com - Matches Consumers with Nationwide Network of Over 12,000 Trusted Service Providers

WALNUT CREEK, CA (June 14, 2004) – Reply! Inc. (formerly Next Phase Media, Inc.), the leading provider of online service marketplaces, today launched a new website - www.reply.com - that enables consumers to easily secure better deals in: residential real estate; automotives; home improvement; moving services; financing; and insurance. Reply!'s website combines and extends service categories previously delivered through six separate, industry-specific websites, to create one of the Internet's largest service marketplaces, comprised of more than 12,000 service providers nationwide.

Reply! reduces the complexity, time, and anxiety associated with: finding capable real estate agents; buying and selling cars; locating reliable home improvement contractors; hiring trustworthy moving services; and securing low financing rates for major purchases. Consumers can also access a broad assortment of content that is helpful for making major purchase decisions. For example, consumers interested in relocating to a new city can find relevant information about the area's climate, crime rates, school statistics, neighborhood profiles, and more. Over 100,000 pages of content are available on the portal.

"Reply.com exemplifies an easier way of doing business," said Reply! CEO Payam Zamani. "Thousands of service providers compete daily to earn the business of consumers that use our matchmaking service, which drives down prices, boosts service quality, and makes it easier for people to find exactly what they want. At Reply!, we are committed to cultivating marketplaces that are highly efficient, trustworthy, and convenient for both buyers and sellers. This approach represents the service industry at its best."

Over the past two years, Reply! has qualified and assembled an exceptional network of service professionals who have used the company's lead referral services to close billions of dollars in real estate transactions and automotive sales. Real estate professionals on the Reply! network all have a proven track record of service in helping homeowners buy and sell property in their local communities. Reply! qualifies service providers before accepting them into its network, requiring that they meet specific standards of quality.

Free to consumers, Reply.com helps individuals get better deals on major life purchases without the inconvenience of comparison-shopping or conducting extensive research on the Internet. Consumers simply register online, specify what they are interested in buying, such as a home or a car, and qualified providers - those willing to compete for their business - promptly contact them with the information they desire.

Beyond better prices and improved service, Reply! also brings convenience to consumers interested in finding related services. For instance, prospective homebuyers will likely need financing and home improvement services, as well. Therefore, Reply! has combined multiple service offerings into a single portal to make the process of making major purchase decisions as easy and stress free as possible. Positive experiences in one type of service will likely entice consumers to try other categories available on Reply.com, further reducing worry and the need to conduct additional research.

Reply! is also very cost-effective and convenient for service providers. For example, real estate agents can literally sell a million dollar home for the price of just one Reply! lead - a tiny fraction of the commission fee. Instead of spending countless hours on the phone, attending networking events and creating flyers, real estate agents receive timely, targeted consumer requests by e-mail, with the option of pursuing the lead or not. The system is identical for service providers in Reply!'s other categories, where providers receive e-mail notification of applicable requests.
