NEW YORK (March 23, 2009) – Paris Hilton will announce her new sunglass collection at Vision Expo East at the Gripping Eyewear, Inc. (GEI) booth on March 27, 2009. Paris will join with GEI, the worldwide exclusive licensee of the Paris Hilton Sunglass Collection, at The Javits Center in New York to personally announce her upcoming line of sunglasses and accessories. Ms. Hilton has been working behind the scenes with GEI to sketch designs and provide input for her collection, which will be available at select locations this fall. She will also announce an accompanying line of accessories that will include patented lens wraps, sunglass stands and visor clips, all designed to allow the consumer to store, display and protect their sunglasses. “It’s no secret that I adore sunglasses, and I am excited to finally have a collection of my own. We all want options on what to wear given our own personal style, so introducing sunglasses that give people stylish choices and unique features is really important to me,” said Ms. Hilton. “Everyone’s taste is different, but I’m convinced that anyone can enhance their look with the right sunglasses. It’s all about fashion and having fun with your look.” Ms. Hilton has teamed up with GEI, one of the most innovative companies in the eyewear industry, to produce and distribute her sunglasses and accessories worldwide. GEI currently holds nine international eyewear patents. Incorporating Ms. Hilton’s designs and style will create the most unique sunglass collection and accessories the eyewear industry has ever seen.

The foundation of an organization’s ability to achieve the four strategic imperatives resides in the in-store technology infrastructure. We believe that a store’s IT infrastructure should have three key characteristics:
• Integrated: An integrated IT infrastructure links applications and business processes between the enterprise and the store systems. New customer contact points (such as PDAs or cell phones) are easily integrated into the store IT infrastructure when appropriate. In addition, master data is stored in a single repository and shared across the organization. With this capability, store employees do not
have to reenter data, call the home office to confirm customer information or fill in missing information.
• Flexible: A flexible IT infrastructure easily supports a diverse range of in-store devices and touchpoints for customers and employees. New applications can be readily added and deployed over time. Deployment and support costs can be reduced through Web-based applications.
• Extensible: An extensible IT infrastructure supports the rapid rollout of new applications, features and services at the store. This infrastructure gives the organization the ability to leverage existing systems, such as POS, to dynamically deliver new services to store employees and customers.We have provided examples of how retailers can operationalize customer centricity by addressing three core areas of their business model. However, becoming truly customer centric requires retailers to systematically address all six areas in a structured approach to align the retailer’s change strategy with the priorities of
its business

Develop an integrated view of the customer
Creating a shopping experience that is consistent and seamless across channels,across departments within the store and across customer touchpoints (such as call centers, direct mail, or in-store kiosks) is important. Customers are often frustrated with disconnected or interrupted shopping experiences where information is not
readily available to enable them to easily complete their transactions. Customers want a store to retain and use relevant information so that they don’t need to start over again with each transaction/purchase. Creating this consistent, flowing dialogue requires two key steps.
First, retailers need to achieve a foundational level of customer information integration. This integration involves eliminating customer data silos which can otherwise lead to inconsistent versions of customer data. It also requires integrating heterogeneous pieces of data gathered across all customer touchpoints and channels which, when left fragmented, can often be a source of poor customer service and therefore customer frustration. Once this level of integration is in place,retailers can begin to deliver more seamless shopping experiences and more relevant offerings to customers.
For instance, integrated customer information allows customers to easily move between different departments within a store (e.g., a store with a separate auto service center and retail store) during a shopping experience and not have to be asked repeatedly for their customer information. Or, customers could begin a transaction at home (online) and continue this transaction in the store by accessing their profile through in-store Web access.
