Winning Colours South Korea Appointment





BARRIE, Ontario, Nov. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Winning Brands Corporation
(Pink Sheets: WNBD; Frankfurt: WMU) www.WinningBrands.ca, manufacturer of
stain removing sensation Winning Colours Stain Remover, has taken its first
step to doing business in the Republic of South Korea with the launch of the
first of several planned on-line internet discussion blogs with Korean
consumers http://kr.blog.yahoo.com/long3624/1003.html  as well as the
appointment of Winning Brands Ambassadors to South Korea, Mr. Joel Haley and
his wife Sojung.  The blogs will foster conversation amongst Korean consumers
and will be updated frequently to reflect developments of the Winning Colours
launch in Korea.  Distribution of initial inventory for market tests will
commence by January 2010.  Initial product placement will include a variety of
store types that have already been identified. The stores will receive Korean
labeled bottles with the name 1000+, as Winning Colours is known in
non-English markets internationally.  The Korean market will receive the same
attention and focus as Australia and New Zealand have received in the South
Pacific - two markets that are already gaining traction as Winning Colours
gains new fans in the region.

Joel Haley is originally from Texas but has lived in South Korea for 17 years,
including enlisted service with the U.S. military with engagements in Iraq and
Afghanistan and subsequent provision of aviation maintenance contracting to
the military.  "I have a longstanding personal interest in international
trade, including commodities of various kinds.  Based on my considerable
research I am impressed with the opportunity for Winning Colours Stain Remover
in Korea,"  Mr. Haley remarks.  His wife, Sojung, was raised in the City of
Wonju in South Korea.  She is managing the on-line discussion with Korean
consumers. Together, they will coordinate the development of distribution and
retailing partnerships for Winning Colours from Korea itself, full time,
effective immediately.   "I agree with Joel about the potential here.  South
Korean consumers are increasingly interested in the best possible cleaning
results and are open to the arrival of new brands, particularly from North
America.  I have personally experienced how gentle Winning Colours Stain
Remover is to my skin - Koreans will love this benefit.  I look forward to
introducing my country to the next generation of cleaning power for the whole
home - in a single bottle!" says Mrs. Haley.

Winning Brands CEO, Eric Lehner, points out why the development is a logical
extension of Winning Colours' growth in the Asia/Pacific region.  "Winning
Colours Stain Remover is highly concentrated, and therefore delivers the
necessary value to make shipping to any major market feasible.  South Korea,
with nearly 50 million inhabitants, efficient communications infrastructure
and an impressive economy is a desirable place for new exposure only a few
hundred miles from Beijing, capital of China.  This will provide important
additional Asian experience to Winning Brands and help us to develop momentum
here. With such a versatile cleaning product as Winning Colours/1000+, a wide
range of consumers in Korea will find their own favourite uses and share their
findings with friends and family.  Word will continue to spread.  Winning
Colours/1000+ is a world class product."

Winning Colours Stain Remover is already listed by Canada's national retailers
(where it was developed) and is gaining ground in the USA because of its
versatility in dealing with drips, drops and disasters of all kinds.  Winning
Colours is making news in key consumer sectors where stains occur continuously
and easy clean-up is important.  The paint sector, the wine sector and others
have shown strong interest in the unusual property of Winning Colours Stain
Remover to be gentle on skin and delicate surfaces while still performing with
the strength expected of harsher traditional stain removers.  The fact that
Winning Colours converts even oil based messes into a simple clean-up with
plain water has addressed consumers' increasing desire for convenience in all
matters.
