LAS VEGAS, Nov. 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Empowered Products, Inc. (EMPO). Over the last few business quarters, Empowered Products has achieved a number of significant milestones, which I believe will set the stage for a very exciting and rewarding 2013 for EMPO shareholders. In early-February, we commenced shipments to Walgreens for five of our Gun-Oil sexual lubricants. In October, we received our first purchase order for PINK and Gun-Oil from Target.com, a division of the Target Corporation.

Our new sales relationship with Target represents a key success in our overall expansion strategy with the major national retail chains. Currently, with CVS, Walgreens, and Target onboard, our continued focus will be on expanding our product scope and shelf-space presence within this high-growth sector. I view our move into the mainstream as a cornerstone of our longer-term growth prospects for both Empowered Products and our EMPO shareholders.

We're proud to report that our sample-pack distribution program, which we launched in the first quarter of this year, has been a resounding success with over 200,000 customer signups, thus far, at our online venues. We have a near-term goal of reaching 1 million signups, and we believe our mandate of getting PINK and Gun-Oil samples into the hands of consumers will translate to new customers and increased sales going forward.
