Online Product Video Company HandBookLive, Inc. to Donate Services to Growing Businesses

SAN DIEGO--(Business Wire)--
HandBookLive - a website providing video-format product manuals to help
consumers compare products, choose what products to buy, and learn to use the
products they already own - is donating product video production services to
four emerging growth companies in 2009. Companies may apply for the Q3 grant
program starting today.

"This is our way of supporting growing businesses we feel need help to improve
brand awareness and to compete with larger consumer product manufacturers," said
co-founder and CEO of HandBookLive, Inc., Simon F. Smith. "It can be quite
difficult for smaller businesses to go head-to-head with the well-known brands
in the best economic times - and in today`s climate it`s even more daunting.
HandBookLive can help."

The grant recipient will receive a complete three-chapter video production
package, including scripting, filming, voice over and editing. The finished
video will be showcased on HandBookLive.com, and links to it could be added to
the winning company`s website or other websites.

Applicants will be chosen based on company history, product purpose and
financial circumstances. Only businesses that are self-financed or VC-funded but
still in need will be considered.

"With more and more consumers turning to the Internet to research products
before they buy, product videos are proving incredibly effective in increasing
sales," adds Smith. "Plus, because product videos have the power to actually
show customers how to use the products, they are able to improve customer
service and satisfaction. For a growing business, a comprehensive marketing and
customer service solution like this can prove invaluable in taking the company
to the next level."

Previous 2009 grant recipients include online menu search and food ordering
website GoFoodoogle.com and medical device manufacturer Strapparatus.

The Q3 2009 HandBookLive grant application can be found at
www.handbooklive.com/grants. Applications will be accepted through July 22, 2009
at 11:59 p.m. PDT.
