Revamp of Jewellery Business Portal JewelleryNetAsia to Boost Buyer-Seller Interaction

HONG KONG, June 21, 2010 - Today UBM Asia announced the launch of a revamped version of the internet

includes enhancements in contents, search and browsing features as well as a
modernized look and feel.

"The revamp aims to increase online trade interaction between Jewellery
professionals. We concentrate on continuously improving the core features:
buyers can browse virtual showrooms of suppliers or search for specific
products and get down to business efficiently. Also, we provide more
editorial contents with news, insights and reports from our media partner
Jewellery News Asia," says Jerome Hainz, Manager of eBusiness at UBM Asia.

"This is just the first step: The ultimate goal is to transform
JewelleryNetAsia into a site that responds to the demand for an online
community for the jewellery industry — more interactive features such as
blogs, discussion boards, videos and webinars will follow soon. In September
we will launch JOC, the first Jewellery Online Conference," adds Hainz.

JewelleryNetAsia serves as platform for buyers and suppliers to trade
products and services across the supply chain — from materials such as loose
diamonds, gemstones and pearls to finished fine jewellery and watches.
Established in 2006 the portal features over 2,800 suppliers operating
showrooms and close to 50,000 trade buyers who visit the site regularly.

With the onset of the site revamp, jewellery professionals can expect a
better browsing experience: the site design, easier navigation and improved
search functions provide fast and simple ways to enquire about products and
companies.

As the official online media partner to leading trade fairs in Asia,
JewelleryNetAsia publishes interactive Exhibitor Lists and helps members
promote their presence at specific shows, for instance the June Hong Kong
Jewellery & Gem Fair
(www.jewellerynetasia.com/en/exhibition/6JG2010.html ). Exhibitor
Lists help to match businesses not only ahead of the events — visitors can
access them onsite at the Product Locator Kiosks to generate and print
individualized show guides.
