Atlanta, GA/ May 30, 2007 - AIS Media, Inc. (www.aismedia.com) CEO, Thomas Harpointner, was interviewed by Washington Examiner regarding the trend of retailers closing their brick-and-mortar locations and moving all online. His statements included:

Washington-based retailer Unsung Designers is moving its operations to New York as it switches to an online-only sales format.
The founders, Alishia Frey and Grace Wang, will close their Adams Morgan showroom on Nov. 18.

The decision was a tough but necessary one, Wang said.
A niche company with a physical store can “only appeal to people within the immediate proximity,” and it will have expensive overhead costs, said Thomas Harpointner, chief executive officer of AIS Media, an e-commerce Web site developer.
