Sense Technologies, Inc. Announces Retail
Sales Program for ScopeOut®
Trading Symbol: (OTC BB: SNSG)
September 27, 2005 - Grand Island,
NE - Sense Technologies, Inc. (OTC BB:
SNSG) announced that it will launch its retail sales program of ScopeOut® in
October on a regional basis. This is the
first of the company's products to be introduced to "brick and mortar" retail
stores. A phased national sales program
is anticipated by second quarter 2006.
ScopeOut® will also be available via the company's web site at www.sensetech.com.
ScopeOut® is a patented system of aerodynamic mirrors that
are strategically placed on the vehicle which increases lateral vision for the
vehicle operator. With ScopeOut®, car,
minivan and SUV owners will be able to observe persons and obstacles on the
street or sidewalk lateral to the vehicle.
Shrubbery, high-profile cars, walls and buildings can all block a
driver's view as he or she is backing out of a driveway or parking space. With ScopeOut®, drivers can see approaching
traffic and other hazardous situations, enabling the driver to stop well in
advance of a collision. This safety device easily installs on vehicles within
minutes, and it provides a panoramic rear view of approaching vehicles or persons
approaching on the street or sidewalk.
In moving traffic, ScopeOut® also has the ability to eliminate drivers'
blind spots during lane changes, which are the cause of thousands of accidents
each year. The product is produced in
two models, one for automobiles and one for SUVs, minivans and station wagons,
and sells for under $100.
Bruce Schreiner, president and
CEO stated, "Our corporate mission is to produce and market vehicle safety
products that increase safety while backing a vehicle and do it with
affordably-priced, easily-installed products."
Sense Technologies, Inc. is also
expanding sales of Guardian Alert®, its highly versatile, cost-effective and
extremely user-friendly backing awareness system. Guardian Alert® alerts a
vehicle operator to the presence of obstacles in blind spots that exist behind
vehicles. The Guardian Alert® product is being marketed to Tier 1 manufacturers
to Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) as well as directly to several
OEMs. Foreign sales opportunities are
also continuing to be explored.
Both Guardian Alert® and ScopeOut® complement each other. In combination, the products cover an
unprecedented view area behind and around the rear of a backing vehicle. For a
limited time, the company is offering customers a Surround Safety® special
promotion. Persons who place advance
orders for ScopeOut® at the same time they order Guardian Alert® will receive a
$49.95 instant rebate. The special
Surround Safety® offer for Guardian Alert® and ScopeOut® is available only at
the company's website. For more information
on this special, visit the company's website at www.sensetech.com.
Sense Technologies, Inc. is launching an advertising and
public relations campaign, titled "Stop Backing Out Blind" that is designed to
educate and inform consumers about backing accidents and solutions to eliminate
these. The company will increase its
media-relations efforts, which have already resulted in articles in the Miami Herald, Birmingham Times, Arizona Republic
and Reading-Eagle, in addition to
numerous trades.
The company has also announced that it is revamping its
political agenda to work with federal and state officials, Congress and members
of NHTSA to demonstrate the company's products in solving problems while
backing a vehicle, and to call for legislation mandating safe obstacle
detection devices for vehicles.
Schreiner says, "We applaud The Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient
Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users
(SAFETEA-LU), the recently-enacted federal legislation. This important bill enables the NTHSA to
earmark funds for tracking and studying back-over incidents. Our feeling is that this information will not
only motivate legislators to enact laws to enhance vehicle safety, it will also
provide benchmarks of data to better inform consumers of the breadth and depth
of the problem when backing out blind."
Sense Technologies, Inc. has enhanced its website to provide
more in-depth product information, testimonials and a current list of
retailers, which is updated regularly. The
website posts company news, recent articles and information about upcoming events,
tradeshows and fundraisers for families who have lost children and other loved
ones due to back-over accidents. The
company is initiating an email alert program for shareholders and other
interested parties who wish to receive news releases and timely information
concerning other events of the company. Shareholders who wish to receive this
service may now sign up at the website.
