LOS ANGELES, Dec 4, 2008 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) -- VBDG | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Vertical Branding, Inc. (OTCBB:VBDG) announced today that it has received nearly $1 million in replenishment retail orders for its MyPlace(tm) product based on the strength of Thanksgiving weekend sales at one of the world's largest specialty retailers.

MyPlace(tm) is a folding laptop computer workstation with conveniently folding legs and a tilting surface where a laptop user can secure the laptop while sitting in bed, in a comfortable chair or anywhere else that lacks a desk surface. MyPlace(tm) features a slim, lightweight and compact design, four pre-set positions for optimal comfort, fold-out legs for stability, a tilted mouse pad and a built-in LED light wand. It can be set up or folded up for storage in seconds.

"The velocity of MyPlace sales this past holiday weekend, numbering in the tens of thousands of units with one retail account in particular, is encouraging," said Nancy Duitch, Vertical Branding CEO. "Our product development and marketing strategies focused on practical, high-quality, and affordable household items appears to be serving us well as we progress into the holiday shopping season."

Shipping of limited quantities of MyPlace began in the first quarter of 2008, with full retail roll-out and store seeding continuing throughout the first half of the year. MyPlace(tm) is also one of Vertical Branding's products being marketed internationally along with the ZorbEEZ(tm) line, SteamBuddy(tm) and Hot Legs(tm).

"As anticipated, MyPlace satisfies an unmet need at a price that's right for consumers," said John Cammarano, head of Vertical Branding's retail sales unit. "We are well into the process of rolling out several line extensions under the MyPlace brand with significant retail commitments for 2009 already received. As U.S. retailers struggle to capture consumer spending, we will strive to continue to provide our buyers with products that are new, relevant and that offer real value to the consumer."
