IRVINE, CA–( EMWNews – April 3, 2008) – Ritz Interactive, Inc., the e-commerce network

that includes RitzCamera.com, WolfCamera.com, BoatersWorld.com and other

leading online-shopping sites, reported a 30% increase in merchandise

revenue for the first quarter of 2008 over the same period last year. First

quarter merchandise revenue grew to $25.0 million in 2008, compared to

$19.3 million during the same period in 2007. Ritz Interactive President &

CEO Fred H. Lerner credits the sales increase to continued strong consumer

demand for digital single lens reflex cameras, the addition of thousands of

new consumer electronics products, strong corporate sales and attractive

promotions from suppliers and PayPal.

“Much of our recent revenue growth is from customers upgrading their entry

level digital cameras to the new, more sophisticated digital single lens

reflex cameras,” noted Lerner. “We have seen a tremendous demand for newly

introduced high-end digital cameras from Nikon and Canon. Specifically, the

Nikon D300, Nikon D3 and Canon EOS 1DS Mark III are doing exceptionally

well. Additional growth is attributed to our continued expansion into the

consumer electronics, home office and corporate business,” Lerner said.

Web’s most successful retailers, offering online shoppers an amazing array

of products and accessories, plus the added benefits of no sales tax and
