Edjweb Mediaworks launches The Worry Bank; focused online community.

TORONTO, ON – May 25, 2001 – Edjweb Mediaworks is proud to launch its new recreational online community, The Worry Bank at http://www.worrybank.com, which offers people a place to dismiss their worries. This free web site contains many relaxing distractions such as words of encouragement, games, discussion forums, and most importantly it offers a non-medical way for worriers to take their minds off their problems for a while.

Noticing a gap in this category of entertaining web sites, Edjweb Mediaworks Director of Operations, Eileen Seigel felt that The Worry Bank had obvious potential. “Everybody has worries”, says Mrs. Seigel. “I have read so many articles by doctors and therapists that have discussed the negative impact worrying has on peoples’ health. Most of the things people that worry about don’t even end up happening.” Stress relief and a fun site to keep coming back to are the main goals of The Worry Bank, according to Mrs. Seigel. “The Worry Bank is not meant to replace therapists, medicine, or other professional means of help. It’s an entertaining site for amusement. People often say to me ‘I wish someone else could do my worrying for me’ and I thought, ‘why not’? The Worry Bank is a place where people can deposit their worries and withdraw encouragement.”

This is one of the sites being developed under the Edjweb Mediaworks umbrella that will create a focused online audience, allowing for a much more successful means of direct marketing. David Seigel, the Director of Business Development for Edjweb Mediaworks, believes that The Worry Bank can create a market that has not been produced online before. “It gives people a light-hearted place to share and shed their worries,” says Mr. Seigel. “When our community continues to grow and people keep coming back to the site for the same purpose, we’ll be able to suggest larger distractions than games or encouragement. Booking a vacation or buying a lava lamp might help soothe peoples’ frazzled nerves. The possibilities for direct marketing are endless.”

Edjweb Mediaworks is located in Toronto, Ontario Canada. The company strives to provide top quality online marketing and focused community development. For additional information on Edjweb Mediaworks, visit their Web site at http://www.edjweb.com or call (416) 618-4422.
