De Greko Communications Officially Launches Clixme, the New "Click to Call" Service De Greko Communication, a wholly owned subsidiary of De Greko Inc. (OTC: DGKO) a holding company that specializes in consolidating revenue-generating companies, today announced that it is officially launching its "Click to Call" Service called "Clixme" to all US Internet Businesses. Website owners can go to www.clixme.com to register for a Clixme account and immediately begin using the "Click to Call" service on their websites.
WHAT IS CLIXME?
Clixme is a state of the art, "click to call" service that allows website visitors to request a call from a website owner or one of their departments by entering their telephone number in the Clixme box. Clixme then immediately calls the telephone number of the website owner alerting them and asking them to accept the call. When they accept the call, Clixme calls the website visitor's telephone number and immediately connects both parties in a live telephone call. A complete profile of the service can be found at Degreko's Clixme site: www.clixme.com
CLIXME REDUCES COST OF SALES
By providing this added level of service, businesses reduce the number of customers lost due to long on hold times and busy signals. Clixme actually controls the flow of inbound calls, scheduling delivery of website visitor call requests based on how many simultaneous calls a company handle. Customers get called back only when there is a live person waiting to talk to them. Businesses are following the path of companies like Citibank who are beginning to address customer frustration with waiting on hold to even ask simple questions. "When a customer wants answers, every minute they wait on hold increases the chances of losing that customer," said CEO Fotis Georgiadis. Even if a call request can't immediately be addressed, Clixme calls the customer and lets them know they will receive a call back as soon as a Live person is available. "Your customers will love you for not making them wait on hold!" chimed in Mr. Georgiadis.
CLIXME IS ONE OF KIND
A comparable service is presently in beta testing at Google, Inc. As of this writing, it is public knowledge http://www.google.com/help/faq_clicktocall.html that the click to call platform Google intends to launch is provided purely through its adsense program. This means that businesses wishing to use Google's service are forced to use Google's advertising program. Even worse, the service only works when their visitors see their ads on Google searches. "People have asked us to compare ourselves to the Google service several times," said Fotis Georgiadis. He continued, "It's not the same thing, Clixme is always available on your company's website it doesn't get turned off with your Google ads."
CLIXME'S TARGET MARKET
Presently there are about 20 million Internet B2B sites and 60 million Internet B2C sites. "We're looking at an available market of almost 80 million websites in the US alone," said Fotis Georgiadis. The company is preparing to launch the service is in Asia next through its affiliate Prestige Asia. European and Latin American launches are expected in the near future as well.
De Greko CEO, Fotis Georgiadis, stated, "It's mind boggling when we run the projected revenue models. I am just extremely proud to announce the full launch of Clixme today. Our development team worked very hard to bring this service to market faster than some of the bigger players in the space. I feel this is a win for everyone though."

Clixme Draws Tremendous Interest on Launch Market Wire
GLASTONBURY, CT -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 05/02/06 -- De Greko Communication, a wholly owned subsidiary of De Greko Inc. (OTC: DGKO) a holding company that specializes in consolidating revenue-generating companies, today announced that the official launch of its Clixme "click to call" service to US businesses was an overwhelming success.
De Greko CEO Fotis Georgiadis commented on the first day's activities, "We were all very excited about the launch today. By the end of the day we had been contacted from companies all over the world who were trying out the service." Mr. Georgiadis also added that the company had received inquiries from companies in both Europe and Asia inquiring to the availability of the service in both regions. "We were pleased to see that large companies were signing up for the service as well. When GE Healthcare, a division of General Electric, signed up to use the service today we were sure that adoption of Clixme in the Enterprise market was assured."
"We were also contacted by several other large players in the communications industry," said Mr. Georgiadis. "We took a call from Net-2-Phone who expressed interest in using Clixme," he continued. Net-2-phone recently merged into a wholly owned subsidiary of IDT Corporation, a leading VOIP enabler for service providers.
CLIXME PRIMED FOR SUCCESS
The Company started to receive signups for the service as early as 30 minutes after the launch. "Companies were signing up the entire day," said Mr. Georgiadis. With the service launched, the Company is focusing on the next stage. It plans to deliver a transaction-processing component to the suite of services Clixme provides. Websites using the add-on service will give customers the option to have Clixme call them to accept their credit card information during the checkout process. After receiving the information, Clixme processes the customer's credit card and issues an approval to the transacting website through a special API being developed for the new service. Once the website receives an approval from Clixme that the card has been charged, it notifies the customer and completes the transaction.

Yesterday, De Greko became the only publicly traded company with this type of service. "The fact that we beat several of the larger players in the space to market shows that our team can act very quickly when opportunity presents itself," said Mr. Georgiadis when asked about how the company came across the idea for Clixme.
